Come join me at Dragon Asana for some meditation and a Gong bath. In order to deeply soothe our nervous systems in these intense times, we will participate in some toning and chanting in this workshop as well. Experience a deeply healing sound bath and an intro to the practice of Shamatha or "calm-abiding" meditation.

This Monday join Here & Now at Dragon Asana for a meditation and sound experience designed to bring you back to center.

Led by Jessica Sylvanson, founder of Here & Now, this intentional offering blends guided meditation with a rhythmic sound bath to calm the nervous system and invite you into deep relaxation and presence. Rooted in her background in acupuncture and holistic medicine, Jessica’s approach is both grounding and restorative.

Jessica lives with husband Dusty and son Kai. She has owned and operated her own clinic of East Asian Medicine (acupuncture, herbs, massage) since 2006 in Gunnison Colorado (now located in the Main Street Clinic). She started studying mindfulness in 1998 at Naropa University and continued with John Bruna and other teachers through The Way of Compassion Dharma Center in 2008. Since then she has served as the Board President for Way of Compassion Foundation for over a decade and become an MLP Certified Mindfulness teacher. She co-authored the workbook "The Essential Guidebook to Mindfulness in Recovery for Family and Friends" with John Bruna and Katie Nicoll. (link to buy: MIR, Amazon). She approaches mindfulness with many lenses with a background teaching yoga, studying qi-gong and tai chi, and mindfulness in nature. She has found mindfulness to help all aspects of her life.

Have you wanted to add meditation to your daily routine? Have you heard about all the positive benefits of meditation and mindfulness? Often, when inspired by the health benefits, people try to add meditation on their own, and think; “this is too hard”, or “I can’t shut my mind off”, or “I can’t get comfortable” or “this is boring”, or “why am I doing this again”? This is a common experience. However, meditation does have many benefits and everyone can do it. Just like riding a bike or learning to lift weights it usually takes a bit of time, a group to practice with, a class to get you motivated, and an experienced instructor to give you knowledge, personal tips, encouragement, and support along the way.
I am passionate about helping others integrate meditation, and the mindfulness practices that go well with it, into their lives. These practices have absolutely changed my own life for the better. They are simple and can be learned by anyone, but often require support and guidance to start - as learning any new skill in life can.
