Winnipeg Free Meditation classes are being held on the second floor Anhang Room of Millennium Library, 251 Donald Street, Mon. Jan. 25 and Wed. Jan. 27 from 7:30-8:30 p.m.
These classes require no special clothes or exercises or previous experience. One can sit in a chair or on the floor if they prefer.
These classes are great for beginners or for those seeking inner peace and tools to deal with every day stress.
There will be a guided meditation that is easy to follow, gentle chakra (energy centres within our subtle system) cleansing workshops, and attendees will gain their self-realization, the Sanskrit meaning of the word Yoga, which means union or connection.
Once one has achieved and established a connection with one’s higher self, a new vibratory awareness reveals very simply the state of our energy centres and how to gently correct them ourselves. We become a more balanced and more joyful person.
It is very important to note that one should not pay for this state of yoga, as it is everyone’s birthright to have access and gain this new, pure knowledge of the higher self. We do not have to climb the Himalayas, to receive enlightenment in these modern times, due to this unique discovery.
This is the second year of the meditation marathon which has attracted the interest of seekers of truth from all walks of life.
Last week, the attendees enjoyed a guided meditation, learned about the wonderful qualities we all have inside, and several felt sensations in their hands, indicating they achieved the yoga state in just one session. The questions were insightful, and specific. Their genuine smiles were priceless.
It is clear there are many of us that recognize there is more to life than materialistic pursuits. We learned how to balance our emotions and incorporated techniques to heal depression and anxiety.
In an effort to cover more material and explore this newfound peace, sessions were added to go deeper from 6:30-7:30 pm by popular demand. Drop in guests can join in anytime for even more meditation.
Between the two thoughts generated by the past and future, is a space that can be widened in the present, known as “thoughtless awareness.” Many people have described this newfound awareness as a source of joy and peace. I heard one man say, “It is both relaxing, and energizing!”
Indeed, one learns to use this power within to become more detached from problems and stresses, and more in tune with the joy of their spirit. We can evolve our personality only when we are in the present, and have achieved self-realization.
It is a spontaneous, living process, by which one can experiment, like a scientist, and find out what is the truth of one’s being. It can be felt as it rises along the central nervous system as a “cool river” or “cool breeze” that has been described in many traditions throughout history.
A by product of this new awakened energy inside is improved physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing. One can feel the idea of separation is a myth, and that we are connected to everyone and everything.
This series will continue throughout February, with more dates to be announced.
