Attain the Goal: Freedom From Anxiety
(12 - week course)

In this course we will learn a methodology for transforming mind. We will enter eight precise steps one by one. We will try to comprehend first intellectually. We will be talking about these techniques, but not to gain a philosophy, but to clear the dust that has been gathered.

These techniques do not belong to any religion. And one need not leave or belong to any certain religion. Meditation will fulfill them, no matter what they are. Meditation will be helpful, whatsoever your chosen path.

An Overview of the Eight Steps:

First: Self-Restraint is the bridge between you and others. Live Consciously, relate with people consciously.

Second and Third: Fixed Observation and Posture are concerned with your body. It is preparation for another bridge.

Fourth: Breath Control is the bridge between the body and the mind

Fifth and Sixth: Abstraction and Concentration are preparation of the mind, preparing a bridge for the mind.

Seventh: Meditation is again a bridge between the mind and the soul.

Eighth: Trance. You have come home. You have experienced your Eternal Self.

No Method Meditation
(12-week course)

This course comes from Zen. Zen is a practice that brings one's attention, one's mind, one's intelligence to the simple. The simple is what gives you your life. The simple is your life. The complex is what drains your energy. The ambition, the concerns, the worries, the desires, these drain one's life energy.

We have compiled some of the best poetry from the Enlightened Master Chaung Tzu. We will enter these stories, this poetry to help one understand the simple.

Chaung Tzu is one of the most brilliant enlightened masters, as he gives us the most simple truth:

Easy is Right

How does one become easy? This Course will Penetrate your Mind in a Moment. The words are so perfectly given that one cannot miss the understanding.

This course will make you say, "Ah-ha! How did I miss such a simple truth!"

It is so simple, so elegant, so true, and so easy.

You are supported and loved by the universe. One need do nothing at all. You will become perfect. You will know yourself as one with the Universe.

Easy is Right.

Spiritual Energetic Healing - Becoming the Authentic Self
(Must have reservation to attend this class)

In this course we will be addressing "Your Mind" and the experiences that have created your mind.

The Soul is One....and not so easily controlled.

If you can imagine for a moment every experience that you've had when you wanted to be angry, when you wished to laugh out loud, when you needed to cry, when you desired to love, when you wished to shout.....and you did not.

These experiences are what I am calling 'your mind.'

When what you want to do is controlled and held within, it creates a dis-ease within the mind. And one becomes split within. One is no longer authentic. We wished to do one thing, but did another. Our energy is split.

In a loving and supportive atmosphere, we teach you techniques to release the energy held within and help you re-center your energy into your Authentic Self, bringing your energy continually more present, more alive, more joyful, more YOU.

You will leave this class each time feeling fresher, cleaner, clearer and alive! 1. Self - Restraint 5. Abstraction 2. Self - Regulation 6. Concentration 3. Posture 7. Meditation 4. Breath 8.

The Benefits of Meditation

There is growing evidence to show that meditation can make people healthier and happier. It may even increase lifespan, alter brain structure and change personality.

Now, mainstream medicine is beginning to take notice of meditation’s effects. For example, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which is about 80 percent meditation, has been approved in Britain for use with people who have experienced three or more episodes of depression.

MRI scans of long-term meditators have shown greater activity in brain circuits involved in paying attention. Long-term meditation can also cause changes in the actual structure of your cortex, the outer layer of your brain. Brain regions associated with attention and sensory processing have been shown to be thicker in meditators.

Studies suggest that meditation can help you to train your attention and focus, even in the midst of distractions. For instance, when disturbing noises were played to a group of experienced meditators undergoing an MRI, they had little effect on the brain areas involved in emotion and decision-making.

About 10 million people meditate every day in the West, and many more in other parts of the world.

Meditation is the equivalent of giving your mind an escape valve to blow off steam.

This is such a necessary tool in today’s 24/7 society that many people naturally engage in some form of meditation whenever they feel stressed -- listening to music, journaling, prayer, soaking in a bath, all of these work similarly to meditation in that they focus your mind and help promote a state of calm.

In so doing, your pulse, breathing and heart rate are likely to slow down, and your muscles will begin to relax. Your mind, too, will begin to unwind and forget about its racing thoughts.

At its most basic level, meditation helps you take a deliberate break from the stream of thoughts that are constantly flowing in and out of your mind. Some people use it to promote spiritual growth or find inner peace, while others use it as a relaxation and stress-reduction tool.

And while it’s not unusual for the most experienced meditators to have spent decades, even a lifetime, perfecting this art, you can gain benefits just from meditating in your home for 5 - 20 minutes a day.

What can 5 - 20 minutes a day do for you?

Meditation has been shown to alter the workings of your brain not only in the short-term, but quite possibly permanently. Meditating thickens the areas of your brain where memory and attention reside, according to a Harvard study, and although the aging process lightens the brain in certain sectors, 5 - 20 minutes a day slows that down a bit.

Meditation can also improve your attention span even while you’re performing mundane tasks in the mid-afternoon, a time when people typically have problems concentrating. Interestingly enough, according to one study the benefits of meditation remained strong even after patients lost a night's sleep in follow-up research.

Meanwhile, because meditation works so well to relieve stress, it can benefit all types of stress-related illness, and just about every illness is stress-related. This may explain why meditation can help to relieve:

• High blood pressure
• Chronic pain, including headaches
• Respiratory problems such as emphysema and asthma
• Sleep disturbances and fatigue
• Gastrointestinal distress and irritable bowel syndrome
• Skin disorders
• Mild depression and premenstrual syndrome

Clearly, meditation ranks right up there with exercising and eating right when it comes to improving your health. And it’s something that just about everyone can carve out the time to do.

Simple Guidelines to Start Meditating

If you’d like to give meditation a try, sit quietly, perhaps with some soothing music, breathe rhythmically and focus on something such as your breathing, an image, a candle, a mantra or what sensations you are experiencing in the moment (sounds, air on skin, buttocks on cusion, birds singing, etc.). Some people prefer to close their eyes to block out visual stimulation. Of course, your mind will try and wander, this is absolutely normal. Your goal is to acknowledge and become aware of where you mind has taken you, and gently and lovingly bring it back to you, to your focus, whatever you have decided beforehand to focus upon.

Ideally, set aside 5 - 20 minutes a day to practice meditation. You start with shorter segments, but ultimately try to work your way up to 20 minutes.
