Pros to attending a live meditation class, in person or online
Dynamic Techniques
Hitting an obstacle in your meditation practice? Noticing something strange? Bring it up! Instructors are usually very experienced and can speak from their own practice. The teacher can also alter the practice for the group’s needs. Have a question about a technique you tried or heard of? Maybe the teacher can do it with the group.
Questions
Chances are if you have a question, so does someone else. This could be about how you are sitting, why your mind keeps thinking about the dog, anyone else have phantom itches that arise in meditation? You never know what is going to come up when we observe the mind!
Supporting the community
We can’t forget that when you attend a live class you are supporting an organization or person locally. Since our supply chains broke down in 2020, supporting local businesses & people has become even more important to our economy.
Community
Find like minded people! Let’s be honest – the class you attend may be the greatest concentration of meditators you are in contact with! Be with your peeps!
Pros for the meditation apps
Anytime, any place
Have 10 minutes before your kid’s theatre rehearsal lets out? Open up the meditation app and fit it in when you can! Stressful time at the grocery store? Calm down with the app at your finger tips.
Diversity of teachers, styles
In an app like Insight Timer, there are hundreds of styles of teaching, teachers, and background sounds. Caution: this may also lead to decision exhaustion!
Daily practice
Apps can support your daily practice. Set a reminder, find your fav daily length and teacher, and do it.
