SUMMARY:How to Meditate Workshop
DESCRIPTION:How to Meditate Workshop\nwith Acharya Dharana\, 14 May 2017 \n“The soul loves to meditate\, for in contact with the Spirit lies its greatest joy. If\, then\, you experience ?mental resistance during meditation\, remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the ego\, ?it doesn’t belong to the soul.”  —  Paramhansa Yogananda \nMeditation is one of the most natural yet profoundly rewarding of all human activities. Meditation not only reduces stress and improves physical and emotional well-being\, it can help you be more focused\, productive and calm regardless of outer conditions. This workshop can help you directly experience the divine realities within — the peace\, joy and divine love that are your true nature.\nDuring this program you will learn: \n\nWhy\, how\, when & how long to meditate\nHow to sit comfortably\, even for long meditations\nTwo classic techniques to help still the mind\, preparing it for the true state of meditation\nHow they’re combined in the more powerful technique taught by Yogananda\nThe value and practices of prayer & chanting\, leading to deeper meditations\n\nEven a short everyday practice of Meditation can bring great benefits to your busy life! \nWorkshop Fees:  Rs 1200 per person (includes Lunch & Chai) \nBook Online:  \n\n——————  Workshop Schedule – Sunday\, 14 May —————— \n10:00-10:30 am     Welcoming\, chanting & meditation\n10:30-12:45 pm     Class 1\, with halftime break\n12:45-1:00            Meditation\n1:00-2:00              Lunch\n2:30-4:30              Class 2\n4:30-5:00              Chanting\, prayer & meditation\n5:00-5:30              Chai\, refreshments & goodbyes \n—————————————————————————————————— \nAbout Acharya Dharana:\nDharana served in Ananda Palo Alto (California)\, Ananda Assisi (Italy) and Ananda India\, before becoming the sole resident Acharya at Ananda Kriya Yogashram in 2015. He first began teaching in Italy\, where Swami Kriyananda made him a minister\, and has offered numerous classes in Italy and India.
