“RECHARGING THE
BODY WITH COSMIC ENERGY”
Learn to revitalize the body and mind with cosmic energy at will; to eliminate
tension; and to purify and strengthen the body, in order to more easily direct
the energy inward during meditation to reach higher states of consciousness.

Two-part in-depth class and workshop: “Mastering the Techniques of Meditation” - Part I
The art and science of Kriya Yoga meditation employs physical, mental, emotional,
and spiritual methods to bestow an ever-deepening consciousness of infinite, unconditioned
Bliss.
Participants in this two-part guided meditation will receive step-by-step instruction
in two of the essential techniques of the Kriya Yoga path: the Hong-Sau Technique
of Concentration and the Aum Technique of Meditation. The class will show how these
are integrally related to mastery of the highest Kriya technique (taught separately), and
Kriyapractitioners.
Using periods of guided meditation experience, the class will present a comprehensive
overview of the essentials for creating a successful personal practice, including:
physical techniques of relaxation and asana (right meditation posture); using the
breath and life force (prana) in the most effective ways; intensifying the heart’s devotion
and divine yearning to lead the consciousness into ever-deeper states of God-communion.
7:30-8:30 p.m.
Inner Peace: Divine Antidote for Stress, Worry, and Fear
This class will focus on how the pressures and insecurities of life can be met
from an inner center of peace and strength born of daily communion with God. By
meditation, we can learn to anchor ourselves in shanti, “the peace that passeth all
understanding,” as a divine reality that transcends all challenges of upsetting outer
conditions. The art of mental and physical relaxation, the science of evenmindedness,
and other important points will also be explored as aids to deepening our meditations
and living in this world as a blessed peacemaker for ourselves, our family and friends,
and the world at large.

"The
Convocation was the spiritual highlight of my life. I underestimated
the power that is engendered in a gathering of devotees. The group
chants and meditations lifted me to wondrous spiritual heights. Never
before had I experienced such deep meditations."
