The conceptual mind and ego keep us lost in the past or future, lost in regret and anxiety. How can we stop these habit patterns and stay grounded in the present moment, grounded in peace and joy?

This is a continuation of a series of talks on Living in the Now, which is part of our Aspects of Truth series.

These group meditations are free and open to the public. Feel free to invite any interested friends, family, and colleagues. Our time together includes a 30-minute guided meditation, talk, and time for discussion.

Helpful information about the venue:

• We will meet in one of the library conference rooms. Office chairs are provided to sit in. If you prefer another arrangement, feel free to bring yoga mats, cushions, blankets or whatever you need to be comfortable during the meditation.
• Although not required, we encourage you to bring your journal for taking notes and doing written activities.
• No donations will be requested or accepted at these meetings. This is the Dakota County Library Policy. If you feel moved to donate, follow the instructions on our donation page, but this is not necessary. These events are offered freely for your benefit and welfare.
