Raja Yoga 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, the experience remains limited and misunderstood.  Come join us as we explore our True Self through:  
Silence, Meditation, Breathing, and gentle relaxing Postures.

HU is an ancient name for God that can be sung quietly or aloud in prayer.  HU has existed since the beginning of time i one form or another, and is available to all regardless of religion.  It is a pure way to give love to God and give thanks for your blessings.

 Singing HU (HUUUUUU, pronounced HUE) serves as a tuning fork with spirit that brings you into greater harmony with the divine.  We recommend singing HU a few minutes each day to bring Love, Joy, Peace and Clarity, or when upset or fearful, to rise to a higher view of the situation.

 Admission:  Free

Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio presents
Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat
Sunday, January 21st
from Noon - 6:00pm.
at
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901

Seeing that meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it improves the functioning of our most important tool--the brain, and because it is the easiest to implement, we offer this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.

The day will consist mostly of sitting meditation punctuated by: 
rest, relaxation, sound meditation, pranayama, gentle asanas, Satsang, walking meditation, and a light vegan Soup-du-jour.  

Join in at any time and stay for as long as you would like.

Donations Welcomed

There is wine and sweethearts in the pomegranate blossoms
