Finding Peace

About This Class

In "Finding Peace," Hilaire Lockwood leads students through a beginner-friendly seated meditation designed for comfort and accessibility — encouraging the use of cushions or a wall to support the hips, knees, and back. The session opens with foundational seated alignment cues (cross-legged, spine tall, palms face-up on knees) before guiding students inward through a focus on the third eye space and a bright white light visualization. The heart of the class is a rich nature-based guided meditation: students walk a personally imagined landscape, arrive at a body of water, and engage in a powerful symbolic practice of writing attachments, disappointments, expectations, and criticisms onto rocks — then throwing them into the water to release emotional burdens and find their positive opposites. The class closes with a cleansing water immersion image, a return to the white light at the third eye, and a communal Om. Throughout, Hilaire frames meditation as a consistent, evolving practice that lightens emotional load over time, making this class especially suited for stress relief, anxiety, mental clarity, and anyone new to meditation.
