CBD 2024: Mindfulness of the Body with Sara Lazar, iPause Guided Practice #6

October 30, 2024

In this session we will use the body as the focus of our meditation. Dr. Lazar will guide participants to bring awareness to each area of the body, noticing and releasing muscle tension, and tuning into subtle sensations that we normally overlook. Meditation and the Brain is the Lecture in Summit taught by Sara Lazar that is on Oct. 29, the evening before this iPause Guided Practice. You are welcome to attend both or just one of these two Summit sessions taught by Dr. Lazar.
