About Us
The Maine Mindfulness Project is based on the belief that happiness, well being and a peaceful life are of the utmost importance to people everywhere.
Meditation is a part of spiritual traditions worldwide. We are building on this platform to extend the practice as a low cost, transformative approach to enhance individual well being, create peace in the world and as a new trajectory in education and health care.
Our externally focused, fast paced lives call for practices to support our embodied peace and happiness in order to maintain health, stamina and clarity. These include eating well, getting enough rest and physical exercise. Of course, it is also very useful to have an internal practice to elicit relaxation and quiet focus to actually create peace within.
This is where the practice of meditation comes in. Meditation helps us to apply engaged intention to create happy, healthy, peaceful and productive lives.
It is a proven healing technique; recent studies of long term meditation practitioners and brain research conitnue to confirm the practice provides many benefits for maintaining or regaining health and wellness. Mindfulness is one of the tools we use in engaged awareness. Analytical meditation is another. These two meditative tactics are often compared to two wings of a bird; each is necessary for proper flight. There are thousands of meditation techniques.
Our aim is to provide meditation sessions to help you meet your goals and more deeply enjoy the path you are on.
Founder: Lisa V. Blake, M.A.
"TRY MEDITATION BEFORE MEDICATION ©." In 2009, she established a Meditation Practice at True North, Maine's Center for Functional and Complimentary Health. In addition, mindfulness practices help people make better decisions around diet and exercise.
The other primary objective of the Maine Mindfulness Project is to teach the practices of mindfulness and meditation in educational settings to enhance learning, reduce stress, build optimal learning environments, and to call attention to making better eating choices and exercise in order to eliminate childhood obesity.
Ms. Blake first began teaching meditation on 09/12/2001 in the classroom to 80 sixth grade students in Kona, Hawaii as a response to the events of 09/11. Since then, she has taught thousands of people to use meditation to enhance learning, create relaxation, enjoy well being and create awareness of how a peaceful mind and clear heart are immeasurably beneficial to help bring about positive peaceful social change.
In 2005 she was invited to teach meditation at Siddhartha High School in the Himalayas. She leads teaching trips there annually and was recently named part time Executive Director of the Siddhartha School Project www.siddharthaschool.org, and has attended several days of teachings and conferences with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama.
