Healing & prayer

How to Live a Balanced, Healthy Life
Your Own Infinite Power for
Self-Healing and Transformation
Saturday, October 4, 10 am–1 pm,   $30  Register
The human will, Yogananda teaches, infused with Divine will, can accomplish any change: "Will is the instrument of the image of God in you."
Our health depends primarily on two factors: our karmic strengths and weaknesses, and the efforts we make to keep our body-mind-soul recharged with vital energy (prana.) The principles and practices you will learn in this class are based on Yogananda's guidelines for balanced living, and on Swami Kriyananda's Secrets for Radiant Health and Well-Being.
Instructor: Tyagini Clark

 

Meditation 6: Chakras
Thursdays, October 9–30, 7:30, $60  Register
Pre-requisite: Learn to Meditate (Meditation 1)
Chakras are the gateways through which divine energy enters physical manifestation. Your chakras determine your health, your destiny, and your state of spiritual realization. Meditation is a scientific method for opening and clearing the energy in the chakras. A deeper understanding, and experience of the chakras prepares you for the next initiation.

The Law of Success
Using the Power of Spirit to Create Health, Prosperity, and Happiness
Saturday, October 25, 10 am–1 pm, $30  Register
Your success in life does not altogether depend on ability and training; it also depends on your determination to grasp opportunities that are presented to you. Opportunities in life come by creation, not by chance. In this series you will learn to overcome obstacles and reclaim your innate magnetism to draw success from God's all-possessing, all-powerful, all-bountiful hands.
Instructor: Tyagini Clark

 

Restorative Ananda Yoga
Saturday, November 8, 9 am–noon, $30  Register
Restorative yoga is ideal for those with intermittent or chronic physical tension and pain. This type of practice is unique in that there is no effort. You rest supported by pillows and folded blankets in poses designed to open the areas of the body where most tensions are stored.
Instructor: Susan Brochin

 

Practicing the Presence of God—An Experiential Workshop
Saturday, December 6, 10 am–1 pm, $30  Register
A perfect solution for those who feel: “I am too busy for serious spiritual practice.” Or for those who are already meditating, but would like to deepen their everyday experience. Learn how, in the midst of all your other activities, to feel God's presence flowing through you.
In this workshop you will dive into the vibrational power of Yogananda's devotional techniques to stimulate and awaken your own innate inner bliss.
Instructors: Raghu and Tyagini Clark
