Break Through Your Meditation Plateau

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA United States (map)

4 Thursdays, 1/22-2/12 • 7-8:30 pm

Cost: $60 ($20 per class)

All of us - new and old meditators alike - may reach a place where our practice needs to be reinspired or we are wondering how to get past a certain plateau and plumb the depths of our inner world that we so long relish.

This four-week course will transform your meditation practice this new year! It is suitable for everyone, whether you are a new meditator working on building a consistent daily practice or an experienced meditator well established in your rhythm.

We will explore the secrets of a steady, fulfilling meditation practice by rediscovering some of its building blocks. Through these classes, we will:

  • Explore subtle keys to achieve perfect physical relaxation.

  • Practice techniques to calm the breath and taste deep stillness

  • Discuss ways to utilize the last phase of our meditation and practice deep active listening.

  • Get centered in the heart to expand our awareness and experience dynamic devotion

Drawing on the timeless teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, we’ll explore the keys to ever-expanding meditations that can become the foundation of your inner life and connection with God.

Break through your meditation plateau
