“Go beyond the mind and experience your essential nature: peace, happiness, bliss.” Swami Rama of the Himalayas

 

The Integrated Practice
Sunday mornings, ongoing
9:00–10:15 am
Faith, Health, & Wellness Center @ Solomon’s Porch
100 West 46th Street, Minneapolis

In this practice, we explore the simple but profound breath-awareness, relaxation, and meditative techniques that make up the science of meditation as taught by the sages of the Himalayan tradition. Together, these techniques can enhance health, wellness, creativity, concentration, happiness, and compassion. We also explore the practice’s roots in Yoga philosophy, as well as in ancient Tantric texts and the wisdom of the Vedas, India’s oldest literature.

Those familiar with meditation, those curious about it, and those who have struggled to establish a practice are welcome to the ongoing Sunday-morning practice.

Meditation III: Mantra: The Key to Deeper Meditation
Weekly; evenings at the Meditation Center
Stay tuned for the next session.

Learn the science of mantra in meditation and how it is a tool to focus the mind and move through blocks to a deeper meditative experience. We will also learn and practice subtle-body exercises to prepare for mantra meditation, and cover the use of a mala, japa practice and akandajapa. Since the course opens up the possibility of receiving a personal mantra in the Himalayan tradition, we will also cover what to expect during mantra initiation.
