MEDITATION Workshop…How to Prepare and Practice
Saturday February 22nd 10-12pm and Saturday March 22nd 10-12pm
Unhinging from the Dramas of Life and Rediscovering the Light of Consciousness that Underlies Material Existence….
The truth is that meditation is a profound practice with many layers.
Patanjali in his yoga sutras defines yoga as the cessation of the fluctuations of the thoughts in the mind……..Yoga is the stilling of the mind, he says. That is a very advanced concept. For us….in the beginning….meditation is about clearing out the clutter of our minds and creating a little EMPTY SPACE.
We are going to talk about its preparation and practice……and we will seek advice from scripture.
Following discussion we will begin a particular practice including pranayama…. praised in scriptures as THE most direct path to SOURCE……to GOD……to our own DIVINE SELF. The opportunity to practice weekly in a group setting/class will follow for those interested.
COST: $70 for both days

Deep, full belly breathing is so important for our state of mind!
All our yoga classes begin with a focus on the breath…..to bring awareness and more depth to the breath in the body. This supports the practitioner to begin to relax and let go of stress help in the body……..as it switches on the parasympathetic nervous system. Then…..with attention to the feeling sensations that arises as we move from one posture to another……AND the breath…..you can easily become fully engaged……and PRESENT…..as you plug into what your body is doing and feeling in each moment.
