INSIDE NAAM: Part 2
Practical Application of the 7 Creative Planets
with Nicole Coyle & Marie-Anne Ainley
Sunday, September 12th at 2–5pm
$30 |
Have you ever wondered why the same challenges keep repeating throughout your life? Do these patterns run so deep that they present themselves in your career, relationships, and/or health?
In this second part of the workshop, we will delve more deeply into the 7 creative planets and their influencing forces, which in turn will allow us to delve deeper into our inner nature.
Every human being has a vibration and his or her life has a particular rhythm. Certain segments of these rhythms are ruled by particular forces we call planets. Each individual has a planetary blueprint that allows us to know one’s self, our strengths and our weaknesses, so that we are able to recognize our own fertile ground, the place where we can be sown and blossom into a beautiful flower. Knowing your personal creative planets sets you instantly on the path of light. Learning these sacred teachings will put hope in our souls, faith in our spirits, and love in our hearts, as we are able to see the beauty and light of all life.
In this workshop we will learn:
• The attributes and influences of Neptune and Uranus.
• Meditations for each planet, which will allow us tap into their positive energy.
• Health susceptibilities surrounding each planetary vibration and beneficial herbs and foods for optimum health.
• Mudras & sounds to align your total vibration with your planetary period.
• Principle of cause & effect in relation to creating or burning karma.
• How to work with Sun energy to bring in more light & increase positivity.
"Know thyself and thou wilt know the Universe of the Gods"
*This workshop is open to all. Part 1 is not a requirement in attending Part 2. A review of information from Part 1 will be given at the beginning of the workshop.

Meditation Gatherings
at Sat Nam Yoga
Wednesday evenings 8-8:45pm
Friday evenings 8-8:45pm
Saturday mornings 8-8:45am
|
Come to Sat Nam Yoga for a 45 minute session any Wednesday, Friday or Saturday. $3 per class or 10 classes for $20. Open to the public and 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.

Pranayama using index fingers...breathe in through left nostril to a count of 3...hold for a count of 9...exhale through right nostril to a count of 6. Do this 9 times as a prelude to meditation.
Sitting quietly, observing.
CONCLUSION
Chimes will ring at the end of the session. We will conclude with Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti. (Peace)
We ask that everyone continue the practice of silence so that the energy we have accumulated through the hour will not be dissipated.
We hope to see you there!
