Middleburgh Library Notes for Thursday, January 3, 2019

Drop-In Story Time at the Middleburgh Library is on hiatus for January. Story time with Miss Doreen  will continue in February.

Mahjong Mania

On Jan. 8, from 1 to 4 p.m., a spirited group of people will get together in the library’s Community Room, as they do every Tuesday, to play Mahjong.

Don’t know how to play? No problem! They will teach you how. No registration is required.  

Insight Meditation

On Jan. 8, at 5:15 p.m., a meditation group will meet at the library.

What do you want most deeply? Seeing your life calmly and clearly helps answer this. Insight Meditation is a simple way to steady your mind, stop wandering in daydreams, and end the suffering of troubling thoughts.

Our group is a place to sit quietly in safety, supported by others; to allow understanding and compassion to arise; to encourage loving kindness and patience. We welcome those with no experience to advanced mediators, teens to seniors.

Give it a try. No registration is required. There is no fee. All are welcome.

Yoga

On Jan. 9, from 5 to 6 p.m., Deb of Akhanda Yoga will teach class. Follow along with the Vishva Ji Video, illustrating a basic Hatha Yoga practice. Donations from students go to the library, Please use back entrance as the library is closed that evening.

Tai Chi

On Jan. 11, from 10 to 11 a.m., Earl O’Bryan will teach Tai Chi.

Tai Chi and Qigong, from China, is the cultivation of human energy.  Gentle slow movements strengthen the body and calm the mind. These practices have been used for agility, balance, cognition, and longevity.

The suggested donation is $5. Please use back entrance as the library is closed on Fridays.
