[StPete-news] Mindfulness Meditation on Wednesday

[stpete-updates at floridamindfulness.org]

Please join us Wednesday, December 9 at 7:15 p.m. for our mindfulness
practice at Yoga Moves studio, 1045 9th Avenue North, St. Petersburg. Our
evening will include seated and walking meditation, followed by our dharma
discussion.

This week’s dharma discussion will be about the Fourth Mindfulness Training:
Aware of the suffering caused by unmindful speech and the inability to
listen to others, I vow to cultivate loving speech and deep listening in
order to bring joy and happiness to others and relieve others of
suffering. Knowing that words can create happiness or suffering, I vow to
learn to speak truthfully, with words that inspire self-confidence, joy
and hope. I am determined not to spread news that I do not know to be
certain and not to criticize or condemn things of which I am not sure. I
will refrain from uttering words that can cause division or discord; or
words that can cause the family or the community to break. I will make all
efforts to reconcile and resolve all conflicts, however small.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.  Enjoy your breathing
