Impermanence Guided Meditation By Beth Brotz
An introduction to the Buddhist psychology concept of impermanence. We can learn to allow the good things in life to come and go so that we don’t cling to them, and we can also let the bad things in life come and go so that we don’t fixate on them and thereby cause ourselves additional suffering. This meditation includes a visualization practice that will help you broaden your perspective.

ABOUT BETH BROTZ
The Dalai Lama has said that although attempting to bring about world peace through the internal transformation of individuals is difficult. It is the only way. Peace must first be developed within an individual. Once it is, he or she is then able to create an atmosphere of peace and harmony. This atmosphere can be expanded and extended. From the individual to his friends and family, from those friends and family to the community, and eventually to the whole world. This is why I do the work I do.
After careers spanning management consulting, stay-at-home parenting and transactional real estate law, I currently coach individuals and teach meditation to groups. Being passionate about the benefits of meditation, I love working with people in this way. I excel at helping beginners learn how to meditate. Also, more experienced meditators also benefit from working with me.
Sessions with me can lead to better stress management and more inner peace. I also teach Buddhist psychology-based strategies for dealing with things like physical pain and difficult emotions. My group classes and private sessions. They provide a chance for you to: stop and breathe regularly in order to be a little more grounded and centered; or, for those who want it; a deeper experience of spiritual growth and learning. My teaching style is gentle, without judgment. I help people learn how to love themselves.
Among other things, meditation is about developing the ability to focus and free yourself from the craziness your mind puts you through all the time. There are different ways to accomplish that, meditatively speaking. My work with individuals includes some time discussing whatever is on the client’s mind. How a spiritual approach and meditation might be useful. Followed by a guided meditation specifically tailored to whatever came up during the discussion. Sessions are 45-minutes long, and because they usually take place by telephone. I can coach no matter where you are worldwide.
I regularly have groups in northern Los Angeles County, California teaching and leading guided meditations.
