For our first Sunday program of 2009, Remi led us in a New Year's meditation of love and forgiveness. She gave us visual imagery to picture in our minds as we breathed deeply and relaxed our bodies.
Afterwards, we discussed our reactions. It turned out that several of us were experienced with yoga and meditation, and at least three people including Remi have taught meditation.
Remi gave us a short meditation to do when forgiveness comes hard, where we tap a long bone in the hand or forearm, and assure ourselves that we love and respect ourselves despite having difficulty forgiving someone. This will help us towards that forgiveness but also allow us to forgive ourselves.
We had an excellent turnout this afternoon with two newcomers and another person who has come only 3 or 4 times. Even though we are no longer able to meet at the public libraries on Sundays due to budget cuts, our meeting at Tony and Melanie's was a rousing success.
Many thanks to Tony and Melanie for hosting this event, and to Remi for leading us in the best guided imagery meditation I have ever experienced.
