SUMMARY:All Day Christmas Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, 25 December\, 2022 \n“Christ is only suggested in social Christmas festivities\, but He is seen and felt as an everlasting\, ever-joyous fact in the cradle of divine ecstasy. Make the unknown Christ known within yourself by seeing Him born a second time as the ever-new\, ever increasing joy of your daily deep meditation.”  – Paramhansa Yogananda \nThe All-Day Christmas meditation is a tradition Paramhansa Yogananda started in 1931 as a time to worship God as expressed through the life of Jesus Christ\, and to expand our awareness of the Christ Consciousness in our own souls. \nThe meditation will be conducted in the Kriya Yoga Mandir\, within the serene environment of Ananda Kriya Yogashram. \nEvent Details:\nAs always\, the Christmas meditation is completely free of charge. However please let us know by WhatsApp on 9604900999 incase you are attending so we can plan better for the event. \n \n\nTips for the meditation:\nCome on time to participate in the energization exercises and to be in place for meditation.\nEight hours might seem like a long time\, but if you sit still right away you can go deep into meditation\, and beyond time and space. Almost universally the time passes far too quickly. Periods of chanting can help you dive more deeply within. \nBe inward\, move as little as possible\, even during the chanting periods. Let the chanting take you more deeply within; don’t treat them as “breaks” but rather as a continuation of your experience of Christ within. \nChairs are provided or bring your own meditation gear for floor sitting including a shawl or sweater. (Malas\, aum boards\, and earplugs if you use them.) \nCome for as much as you are able\, leave when you need to. If you can arrange to leave at a break or chanting/reading\, that would avoid disturbing anyone around you. \nDress in comfortable QUIET clothing—please no clothing that rustles loudly (nylon\, etc.). Woolen layers such as shawls and sweaters are recommended to keep you WARM enough\, as it can get quite cold here at this time of year\, and the body gets colder when you’re sitting still. \nKeep your mobile phones off or on silent so that we do not disturb other meditators.\nWater\, tea\, fruit and light snacks will be available at the 1:00 pm break time\, and an optional light lunch will be available in the kitchen.
