          This group meditation series is particularly designed to support your daily sitting practice.  You will have an opportunity to review techniques that help you stay more focused and aligned with the benefits of a regular practice.  You will learn a basic pranayama breathing practice that prepares the body for sitting and helps the mind and nervous system to settle and quiet.  You will also learn specific meditation practices and experience guided and non-guided meditation.  We will also explore different spiritual texts and have time for questions and sharing.

Research by Dr. Herbert Benson of Harvard University has shown that “The benefits of meditation are many: the heart rate slows down, the blood pressure normalizes, oxygen is absorbed more effectively by the body, the adrenal glands produce less cortisol, the mind ages at a slower rate and all immune functions of the body improve.  People who meditate regularly become more resilient and learn to cope with everyday stress in a new way.”

Whether you are a long time practitioner or have just recently started a meditation practice, this ongoing meditation series will help you deepen into your practice and stay committed to it.  

Day of Silence Retreat

Sunday, Jan 15th, 2012 from 9:00am-4:00pm

in Oceanside, CA

 

Welcome the New Year in Silence

 

During this day retreat you will be able to explore the Bliss of Being by first opening up the layers of tensions in your body with the therapeutic postures of Svaroopa yoga. As the body opens up it begins to create passageways for more profound breathing while letting you explore a more peaceful and quiet mind.   We will then engage in purifying breathing practices that naturally lead us to meditative sitting, inward reflection and walking meditation.  In addition the use of silence throughout the day allows us to connect more deeply with our own true nature, plus prepares the body/mind for a wonderful “Healing Bowl” Session with Nancy in the afternoon.  These special alchemy bowls not only create a deep sense of relaxation but through their vibrations create deep healing on a cellular level that continues to unfold for days after the session.      Your day will also include a delicious vegetarian brunch allowing you to enjoy each other’s presence while enjoying your meal in the silence.

Do not miss this workshop as it is designed to start your new year with a sense Wholeness, Wellbeing and Peace.  Please register early as space will be limited.
