Mantra Meditation and Sound Healing Journey on April 23rd, 2022 at Center For Spiritual Living
Want to deepen your meditation practice? Transcend negative thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns? Experience more peace, serenity, and bliss in your life? If so, then you are in luck because we will be sharing the authentic spiritual practices from the East as distilled by our teacher Bahadur Singh Ji at the Center For Spiritual Living in Redlands, CA.
Many people say that meditation is hard. That they can't stop the constant stream of thoughts coming in and out of their heads. Perhaps they try to sit still and meditate and after a session or two they simply give up because they couldn't calm their minds and feel like meditation just isn't for them. I've been there too, but with mantra meditation we can overcome the challenge of monkey mind by giving our minds something to focus on.
Even people who have not even meditated before state how easy and quickly mantra meditation can help them overcome their seemingly uncontrollable minds. They feel empowered that they now have a practice that helps them ground, center, and conquer the insanity today's world with diligent poise.
The miraculous thing about mantra meditation is that its so easy that anyone can do it. Young, old, and everyone in between. No experience necessary. Just an inkling, a yearning of the heart is needed, a simple desire for peace and love and you too can experience a deeper expansion of the heart and illumination of the mind.
Here are a few testimonials from recent mantra meditation events we have held around California.
"I could hear all the individuals mesh together and it was amazing, beautiful, and I've never experienced something like that. When we finished I felt blissed out and I am still in it. I feel high." - Beau
"Lately I've definitely put my wall up to the world. When I start to feel that way I shut off and that effects my spirit badly. Tonight with the meditation and being here together with you guys it was very healing and I couldn't help but feel that wall be broken down and I felt connected again." - Shane
"I always worry when I sit in meditation that I'll have a problem dropping in and staying grounded, but once we got started it was really easy to get comfortable and stay calm. It felt like my third eye was vibrating the entire time. Hearing everyones voices come together created a unique vibration that was really special." - Tara
We will start with a short discourse, explanation of the practice, and then begin the recitation of the shabad (mantra). The practice will last roughly 30 minutes before transitioning into an internal silent meditation while experiencing a sound journey. We will close with an integration circle and brief question and answer section.
The teachings and practices you learn will change not only your spiritual life but also your day to day life. The way you think, reflect, and how you respond to daily stressors such as frustration, anxiety, and worry.
These teachings are for ALL irrespective of your spiritual disposition and background. Practice in a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space.
