MANTRA MEDITATION
CLASS Ajayan Borys

Saturday, February 10, 10 am to 4 pm, and Sunday February 11, 2 pm to 3.30
pm
We have heard his story of 4 months of meditating in a cave in “Whispers from the Himalayas” and, later, seen his videos of the area and the residents around those caves bordering the headwaters of the sacred Ganges River. Here, now is the opportunity to experience an approach to mantra meditation as taught by Ajayan Borys.
He says, “One of the most ancient forms of
meditation utilizes a personal mantra. Mantras consist of specific Sanskrit
words and syllables, the proper use of which creates a harmonious effect on body
and mind. With the proper use of mantra, one feels more oneself one enjoys
greater mental clarity, creativity, positive emotions, health, and overall
well-being. A personal mantra can be used not only in meditation, but throughout
the day to increase energy, refine feeling, and maintain centeredness and
calm.”
Ajayan has been exploring and teaching a variety of
meditation practices since 1970. He has traveled the globe to continue an
impassioned exploration of its various forms, meeting and learning from holy men
and women in a lengthy journey along the way. He has made the study of
meditation his life, having instructed and guided thousands in its practice in
North America, Europe and India.

Sunday, February 11
Judith will be sharing an experience of centering drawn from her 20 years of teaching martial arts, self-defense and yoga. She will lead us through an exploration of breath and movement towards physically discovering the experience of centering. Developing a sense of center includes creating a personal vision. Stress, fear, deadlines, and too much to do can draw us away from our own power in being centered. Join us for a fun exploration in returning to our centers and visions.

THE
ROLE OF COMMUNITY IN SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
Sunday, February 25
As individuals, we live our lives immersed in community~ our communities condition us, they comfort us and they act as a filter on how we see the world. The great spiritual traditions have long recognized the central support provided by community as one makes the spiritual journey.
Paradoxically, communities provide strength for the spiritual journey while, at the same time, providing the communal interactions, which may pose the greatest challenges and choices along the way. Minor is a Resident Manager of Indralaya & NW District Director for the TSA.
