The Boulder Junction Public Library will be offering a series of FREE informational presentations this winter to help patrons learn ways to support their health and wellness all winter long. The third program in the series is “Introduction to HeArt Centered Meditation” with Lia Montgomery on Wednesday, January 29 at 10:30am.
Join Lia Montgomery for an introduction to guided meditation that meets that Middle Way where YOU are the center of your spiritual life, surrounded by a physical existence that requires your participation in big and small ways. Discover a practice that enhances how you live in this real world putting your Heart and Mind in every step, with every decision and choice. With focused attention on the breath, mantra, and stillness of the body we can achieve a clarity of focus that extends from our Hearts to the everyday lives we live.
Lia brings 45 years of meditation experience and a devout Buddhist practice to her teaching and guidance. Her spiritual journey began as a college student with training in Transcendental Meditation (TM) in 1977. In 1985, she began her practice of Buddhism, following the Mahayana tradition of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism, which she practices to this day. She is also a devoted follower of His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama, and considers herself an on-going student of Tibetan Buddhism. Her sponsorship of a Tibetan immigrant for residency in the US, while living in Seattle in 1992, has given her a personal interest in the Tibetan struggle for freedom. Lia also incorporates Zen walking meditation (kinhin) into the meditation experience.
Lia holds a Master of Social Work degree. She is also the author of “Wandering: Lessons from the Heron and the Haul Road.” Lia currently lives in Presque Isle and offers individual spiritual guidance and training at Unwind Spa in Woodruff.
