-----------Other Local Events---------

Raja Yoga Class and Satsang
Raja Yoga is the royal yoga that brings the nature of our True Self to our awareness.  This awareness cannot be gained through perception or intellectual knowledge, it can only be known through cognition, like the knowledge that I am, that I exist, it needs no proof, but without this knowing, experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through: 
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

-----------Upcoming Events----------


Join us for a night of meditation, relaxation, and transformation with
Gongs, Koshi Chimes, Crystal Singing Bowls and Pyramids.
This will be the first time playing the Koshi Chimes in public.  They have very a beautiful and delicate sound.  Samples of the chimes are on the home page of the Pyramid Wellness website. The four chimes are Fire, Water, Earth, and Air.

Thursday March 12,
from 7:00 - 8:00pm
at
Endicott Visitors Center
300 Lincoln Ave, Endicott, NY 13760

The focus of the meditation will be on sending love (through intention) into the Endicott EJ Worker's arch, to assist in raising the vibration of these Endicott.  Fountain International has used this process to raise the energy level of many towns in England (see video).
   This group meditation will be assisted by a 40" Gong and Crystal Singing Bowls to help carry the waves of energy throughout Endicott and beyond.  For those who have difficulty meditating, the sounds of the gong will assist in quieting your mind and facilitating a meditative experience.  Even if you do not want to meditate you can still attend and benefit from the soothing relaxing sounds, which are very healing on an energetic level.

For those of you who would like to lay down, please bring mats, blankets and pillows as needed.  Also before you drive home, be sure to give yourself some time to relax and integrate the effect of the meditation, as it tends to induce altered states of awareness.
   
Come join us to be part of the positive change in Endicott, NY.

 Kundalini Power of the Breath (1hr.):  This workshop is a comprehensive 20-30 minute practice of Pranayams, which are Yogic breathing techniques that naturally transition into meditation.  These exercises impart great health, mental, and spiritual benefits when practiced regularly.  We will then spend the 20 minutes exploring specific Pranayam meditations from Kundalini Yoga, followed by questions and answers.  This workshop is suitable for all levels including beginners.

Easy, effective Qigong (1hr. 15 min)  This is a workshop to improve health, happiness, peace of mind, energy, and spiritual cultivation.  We will learn to open all the chakras and meridians for healthy energy flow to facilitate longevity, overall well-being, and spiritual advancement.  We will place special emphasis on organ detoxification which also improves your emotional outlook and balance.

Both of the above workshops include meditation.  I will also discuss advanced body mechanics to improve any Tai-Chi style.

 Cost: $15.00 per session or $25.00 for both
 Space is limited, so please call Edmond @ 232-6410 to register.
