Upcoming Meditations
Healing the Wounds of Love with Sat Shakti
Wednesday14 February 2024, 7-8:30 pm
online via zoom
Shabad Hazare (a.k.a Mere Man Lochai) is an expression of longing for the beloved. The first three stanzas of this shabad are the words that Guru Arjan wrote to his father Guru Ram Das when they were separated. The fourth stanza reflects the joy Guru Arjan experienced on their reunion.
Reciting these words balances the negative mind and can ease a sense isolation or separation. The shabad can help you experience a sense of union with the infinite. In the ecstasy of this state, past wounds of the heart can heal.
The chanting will last just under and hour. We’ll begin with some warmups and finish with deep relaxation.

Sodarshan Chakra Kriya
Sunday 2 June 2024, 5-8pm
online via zoom
This meditation cuts all darkness. It will give you a new start. It is the simplest kriya, but at the same time the hardest. It cuts through all barriers. When a person is in a very bad state, techniques imposed from the outside will not work. The pressure has to be stimulated from within. This kriya invokes the Kundalini to give you the necessary vitality and intuition to combat the negative effects of the subconscious mind.

Science to the Sound
Through the generation of sound, you create a vibration which stimulates the pituitary gland. Movement of the tongue stimulates 84 meridian points in the mouth which also impacts the pituitary gland. The entire glandular system is affected allowing you to strengthen the immune system, increase energy, calm the mind, heighten intelligence and intuition, and experience a state of bliss.
Everyone is welcome to join the mantra marathons, regardless of prior experience with Kundalini Yoga or with long meditations. If you feel uncertain about or a little intimidated by the thought of meditating for such a long period of time, you might find helpful our recent article about rising to the challenge of a 2 ½ hour meditation.

Finally, you are encouraged - but not required - to cover your head, which helps to contain the energy you produce while chanting. Natural fibre, especially cotton, is recommended.
