This is a question for all of you who practice mindfulness/meditation. I want to introduce my girlfriend to meditation, I understand meditation and being mindfull but I often fail at practicing mindfulness and I cannot truly explain it or how to achieve it to someone else very well. I know that my girlfriend has a very "western" way of thinking ie "if I can't see it I'm not sure I believe in it" and I know that there are probably a lot of feelings from her past that she does not really want to drudge up, so i want to ease her into meditation a little at a time... help her see the healing there is in it, and eventually get into more advanced disciplines such as tai chi and tantra.
What sort of class would you suggest taking first to ease her into meditation... Do yoga classes really delve into mindfulness? I would think they do since mindfulness is the essense of it, but have you experienced yoga teachers who were less concerned about mindfulness? Should I start off with something else? What do you think?
Thx,
Tennyson
