What: These classes are offered to give you the tools and understandings to help you make your life work better for you. They are designed to be highly practical and are completely free of religious and/or spiritual dogma and jargon. There is no particular way of life emphasized other than an aware one. Tools are provided to help bring awareness into your life so you can create more satisfaction in your life while reducing tensions and anxieties. The classes are taught by advanced students of Ken Russell, founder of the Way of Seeing.; The beginning meditation class will introduce you to a simple, yet powerful, sitting practice that, when done regularly, will help cut through many of your problems and bring clarity and peace.; Once you have established your meditation practice you will have the option of learning how to tune in, a different meditation which focuses on being in touch with your feelings, especially to allow you to enjoy the positive feelings and not to be thrown by the negative ones. You will begin to discover a whole new dimension to your life.; When you have learned to tune in, you will be able to attend the practitioner’s class where you will refine the use of these practices and learn how to use them to deal with difficult or troublesome situations in your life and also how to create more happiness for yourself.; Ken Russell actively supervises the meditation classes through discussions with the teachers and will communicate with class members through the teachers by email. He occasionally will communicate directly with students by email or phone. There is a possibility in the future of the advanced group meeting with Ken in his home.; There is no charge for any of the above classes.
