LEARN TO MEDITATE

This two-day in-person workshop is a clear and systematic introduction to the foundational practice of meditation as taught in the Himalayan Tradition of Shri Swami Rama.

The practice of meditation is unlike any other mental activity we perform. Meditation is a practice that introduces you to yourself, knowing yourself at all levels as the body, breath, senses, and the mind, and then leads you to the consciousness within.

From the very start, you will experience the therapeutic effects of meditation. By calming the autonomic nervous system, meditation helps the functioning of all major organ systems in the body. It relaxes the muscular tensions,
improves immunity, regulates appetite and sleep, and reduces emotional stress that is commonly seen in our modern lives.

Meditation will enhance your capacity to improve your health, cultivate better relationships, and develop greater skillfulness in all your activities. It will make life more serene, creative, and fulfilling.

This workshop aims to give you a foundational practice of meditation that is simple to learn for beginners. With consistent practice, you will experience the benefits. With persistence and regular practice, you will discover a sense of tranquility and the unfolding of a joyful journey within.
