Link your lobes with today's Groupon: for $35, you get one Meditation in Everyday Life course at Shambhala Meditation Centre in Mississauga (a $75 value). Students can attend either five weeknight sessions lasting two hours each or two weekend afternoon sessions lasting four to five hours each.

Shambhala Meditation Centre eases minds of all ages, experience levels, and religious backgrounds with informative classes concerning ancient meditation practices. During the approximately 10-hour introductory course, an experienced instructor will impart the basics of Shambhala meditation techniques. This approach to synchronizing mind, body, and breath encourages the meditator to expand awareness by paying close attention to the senses and humming the tune of "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me." Students are encouraged to take what they learn in class and establish a daily meditation practice. Shambhala Centre's sage coaches will divulge tips to combat the everyday obstacles facing effective meditation, such as ringing telephones, traffic jams, and area rugs infused with itching powder.

Shambhala Centre's spacious rooms, Eastern-inspired decor, and gentle manner of the staff create an overall sense of inviting tranquility. The Meditation in Everyday Life course is characterized by secular instruction and requires no special commitment to Buddhism, Shambhalaism, or Monstertruckism.
