About meditation
Meditation is training attention and awareness, for example by focusing on the breath, a phrase or the body. Styles include mindfulness, loving-kindness, mantra and silent sitting.
Classes usually run 30 to 60 minutes with a short teaching, guided practice and sometimes discussion. Courses build a habit over several weeks; retreats offer longer stretches of silence.
Choosing someone in Louisville
- Try a drop-in class to see if a teacher's style suits you.
- Look for experienced teachers who welcome beginners.
- Ask whether they teach a specific tradition or a secular approach.
