How much does this cost?!

It’s free! In fact, it can even save you money.

Meditation can do all these things for you, and much more. If you learn how to practice meditation using an effective technique, and if you practice it for even a few minutes every day, you will see the most wonderful things happening in your life!

During this 5-day program you will learn how to:

• Use a profound and effective technique of meditation as taught by Paramhansa Yogananda
• Sit comfortably for meditation
• Make meditation a real part of your life
• Understand how meditation fits into a larger context of spiritual development and Self-realization
• Use breathing exercises to help energize you and quiet your mind
• Use the higher functioning parts of your brain, according to medical science
• Heal interpersonal challenges
• Use your 3 levels of consciousness for your highest good
• Access your intuition through meditation
• Practice Yogananda’s techniques of Energization Exercises and Healing Prayers

This week will be great fun! Each class will be a blend of lecture, discussion, and guided experiences in meditation or in techniques that can help your meditation.

In addition, you can join The Expanding Light’s twice-daily practice of Energization Exercises, yoga postures, and meditation.

You will receive a copy of How to Meditate by Jyotish Novak as part of the course, in addition to many valuable resources to remind you of what you’ve learned.

Please join us!—you will find the power to transform your life.

This course is led by Nayaswami Anandi.

“I came here expecting only peace and relaxation. I didn’t know how deep the experience could be. Every day I learned something new. Every day I felt lighter and lighter and more joy. This was a life-changing experience, and the best vacation of my life!”
