Meditation Workshop Rob Shapera Saturdays in May 9:30am Meditation Room Rob Shapera, MA, one of our Interns here at Bayside Park, will teach you how to Hone Your Meditation Skills. To meditate means to examine. It means you are attending to what's going on within you - perhaps with your breath and senses, your internal thoughts and feelings, or the space in between these objects of attention. This investigation of mind becomes somewhat habitual the more you practice. Join Rob every Saturday morning.

The benefits of performing brain exercises regularly are both short-term (improved memory and concentration, sustained mental lucidity under stressful conditions ), and long-term (strengthened neural connections and formation of a brain reserve that helps in protecting us from brain diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer s).
