Meditation Workshop - A Success!
~ A group of women had a unique opportunity to study with a Vedic Master June 27 & 28, 2009 at the Woman's Club of Minneapolis! ~
Joan Dickenson, M.Ed, RYT, traveled to Minnesota from Florida to make a special appearance in the Twin Cities to teach Primordial Sound Meditiation - the style taught by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon at the Chopra Center.
Practiced for thousands of years, meditation is a tool for rediscovering the body's own inner intelligence. We each had a private ceremony with Joan to receive our Primordial Sound meditation - which was based on our specific date, time and place of birth. Thinking about ourselves as "multi-dimensional beings" and becoming intimate with the various dimensions of our nature, we learned, is what enables us to live with vitality, creativity and happiness.
Just like we wash our clothes, clean our homes, and wash bodies - meditations is a way to wash our minds. So the purpose of meditation is not to have some sort of "high" experience DURING the meditation, rather it is to experience that peace and calmness and "high" for the other 23 hours of the day.
I thought I had been meditating before...I would sit on my yoga mat after my home yoga practice and...well...I would sit there. I didn't even know if what was happening actually was "meditation." And I didn't feel like anything was different in the rest of my day.
Since the end of June, my own meditation practice has come to me effortlessly and beautifully. I use my mantra and
For me, with practicing meditation I am able to:
- manage and have less stress
- nurture better relationships
- touch my inner peace
- have less anger control me
- enjoy nature with more alive.ness
- be more light-hearted
- be more detachment - can just let things go that would have bothered me before
- experience more connectedness to Spirit and that "river of peace" that flows through each moment
- experience more self-acceptance
