In-Person Shambhala Meditation

Meditation is a way to make the mind more stable and clear. It is for everyone who has noticed their minds are chaotic or unsettled and who wish for a deeper understanding of their experiences. From our point of view, meditation is not purely a Buddhist practice; it is a practice anyone can do and can benefit all. Meditation practice is for everyone, regardless of their experience or religious affiliation.

Meditation is based on the belief that the natural state of the mind is calm and clear. As such, the practice of meditation provides a way for us to train our mind to settle into this natural state. Often, a first reason for meditating is that we wants to find some freedom from our agitated minds.

Can I benefit from Meditation?

YES! Everyone can benefit from meditation. It is helpful for stress reduction, addiction, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts and worry, eating disorders, general discontent and most other human conditions you can think of. It is helpful to anyone who has a sincere interest in learning to flow with the human experience and in living with an open heart and open mind.

Shambhala Meditation is back in the Shrine Room on the first and third Sunday of the month.

On the other Sundays, meditation is practiced virtually by Zoom. Please contact Shambhala St. Louis at shambala.stlouis@gmail.com with any questions about the Sunday in-person meetings or the Zoom meeting to get instruction on attending the sessions.

Introduction to TRE

Introduction to TRE

Certified TRE practitioner Alison Morris teaches you a series of exercises specifically designed to trigger the body’s innate tremor response, which can help you literally shake off tension and trauma that’s been stored in your body for months or even years.

TRE stands for Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises. In this session you’ll learn a series of exercises specifically designed to trigger the body’s innate tremor response, which can help you literally shake off tension and trauma that’s been stored in your body for months or even years. There’s no need to “talk about it” or to remember any painful memories. Most people are able to tremor on their first attempt, and most people report feeling very relaxed after even a short tremor session. No prior tremoring experience required but this is not an appropriate workshop for those with serious trauma histories or active PTSD (Please reach out to certified TRE provider Alison Morris about private sessions.) It’s also not advised for those who are pregnant. Accommodations are available for those unable to perform certain exercises.

$20. Register by emailing Alison at stlstressrelease@gmail.com.

Workshop is every first Saturday of the month at the St. Louis Wellness Center.
