Threshold Meditation: An Advanced Method, Suitable for Beginners

Stillness Finds You… if You Make Yourself Available

Can you make yourself available to join us for a restorative meditation session?  This practice is designed to help you find the peace, clarity and inner expansion most of us are looking for by simply observing the subtle transitions between waking, dream-like, and sleep-onset states.

This new take on ancient practices can calm the nervous system, gradually influence sleep cycles, and offer a steadying composure throughout the challenges of life.

The practice offers a simple structure that anchors the mind with points of focus, helping to relax the thinking brain and allowing you to gently rest into a deep state of relaxation. From there, you begin to notice the subtle transition points between different states of consciousness. As awareness of these thresholds deepens, experiences such as inner spaciousness, stillness, joy, and peacefulness may naturally arise.

We practice comfortably seated with the back supported, typically, on a mat or cushion while leaning against the wall. If floor seating is uncomfortable, you may use a chair with a footrest or bring a portable reclining chair. The posture is simple, supported, and sustainable.

We gather once a month, usually on a Saturday from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Each session stands on its own, yet returning regularly can help establish a gentle rhythm and support the beginnings of a shared meditation community.

To support practice between sessions, participants are offered weekly instructions over a 10‑week progression.
