The session will happen simultaneously in-person and online. Those interested in attending virtually can find registration information at www.silvercitypubliclibrary.org.
"We live in a fast-paced world, filled with challenges and constant demands made on our precious time. Wouldn't it be nice if we could step back, take a little vacation from all the tension and find a place filled with joy, bliss and peace?" stated William Smith's representative. "When we learn how to meditate, we find such a place within our very selves. The practice of meditation is an invaluable tool helping people reduce stress, gain a deeper sense of fulfillment in life as well as foster greater physical, emotional and spiritual well-being." William Smith, retired Army Lt. Colonel and long-time meditator, offers a practical technique of meditation that can positively impact participants' lives. Smith's first-hand demonstrations of this simple yet highly effective method can lead to deeper concentration, relaxation and personal growth. The presentation will also allow time for participants to ask questions.
