Meditation for Spiritual Growth

4 days

• Coming again in 2010

Is it possible to find peace within yourself in this busy world? Can you connect with inner quietness to help you make clearer and more effective choices in life?

Meditation can be an extraordinary aid to a more satisfying and productive life. If you’ve tried meditating, you’ll know it’s not easy to quiet the mind, but even beginning attempts actually help your outer life to work better for you.

This 4-day weekend will give you the tools and inspiration you need to begin meditating, and to bring more inspiration to all aspects of your life.

You’ll begin with solid training in the science and art of meditation. You’ll learn:

• What is meditation, and what isn’t meditation
• A powerful technique of meditation to help focus and quiet your mind
• How to sit comfortably to meditate
• How to create a regular practice of meditation at home

You’ll learn some of the fascinating new medical research on meditation and the brain.

Your experience of meditation will deepen as you learn and practice:

• Yogananda’s Energization Exercise, a system for bringing more energy to all parts of the body, and greater concentration to the mind
• Yoga postures as a preparation for meditation—gentle poses enhanced by the use of breath and spiritual affirmations
• Patanjali’s 8-stages of Self- realization, a fascinating system that explains meditation beautifully, and how meditation can transform every aspect of your life
• Devotion and prayer to deepen your meditation and your spiritual life
• Healing prayers for yourself and others

Your instructor, Anandi Cornell, has taught meditation to hundreds of people over the last 30 years. She’s found her own meditation practice to be the source of increasing inner joy and fulfillment. Because of this, she wants to help you through any obstacles you may face to creating your own practice, and is happy to answer your specific questions.

You’ll receive the full book and tape set, How to Meditate .
