Are you in a caring profession? Are you a caregiver for a loved one? You may find you give so much to others it is hard to give to yourself. Perhaps you feel your energy is depleted.
This practice is for you!

Meditation Gatherings at Sat Nam Yoga Wednesday evenings 8-8:45pm ($3 per class or 10 classes for $20)

Come and join us at Sat Nam Yoga for a 45 minute session held every Wednesday evening from 8:00- 8:45pm. and open to the public. Suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners.

We meditate to improve our lives and to improve our communities and our world by becoming a more peaceful, less reactive and less judgmental person. 

Meditation is the practice of observing the thoughts, feelings, sensations and urges that pass through the stream of the mind and body like one might observe leaves and debris floating on the surface of a river being carried downstream by the current. If one were to jump in the river to try and collect each and every leaf and branch that floats by, one would become cold, wet and probably disoriented.  Mental focus and peace of mind is developed by simply observing:  knee hurts, what am I going to eat after meditation, why did my brother act like that, etc. 

Disciplined silence (Mauna) is practiced during these sessions, meaning that we do not engage in casual conversation. Speaking expends energy and we want to gain an experience of how practicing silence will build energy and bliss. So meaningful texts will be read aloud and we will chant mantras and directions for meditation will be given, but we ask that all casual conversation be avoided while we are here this evening. If you have the urge to speak casually, please engage in the practice of noticing the urge but not acting upon it. You will find it is quite an illuminating practice.
