Josh,
I think it is a wonderful idea. I've actually tossed the idea around myself some. I guess in
the area I live in one would get a lot more interest just teaching the mechanics rather than combining the mechanics with any kind of belief system. Upon meditating for a time people will come to their own conclusions about belief systems anyway.
There are so many people that are stressed to the limit right now over many things in their lives . . . I mean just listen to the news and pick an issue.
The stock market for instance . . . people are freaked about it. I have stocks and I find myself laughing out loud about it when I'm listening to the radio. I even bought more stocks! People are telling me I'm crazy!!! What can happen? I might lose. Lose what? Money?? Who cares; I'll make more money. It really doesn't matter if you can see the big picture. That is what meditation helps us do; see the the big picture for what it really is.
It is hard for people to comprehend the fact that the act of being stressed about ANYTHING will not change a thing BUT meditation can help change ones mind about the world and make it a more peaceful place to exist.
I say go for it exactly as you've planned it!
Gus
