The world needs peace, and NOW! What can we do to help facilitate this desperate need to reduce conflict in our selves, our communities, and our world? Meditation for peace is one simple, effective and proven answer! (see short video) This approach to creating world peace is called the Maharishi Effect and was pioneered by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi creator of the Transcendental Meditation Technique. It is based on the principle that all of creation is connected at the deepest levels of Nature, that we are all part of one eternal Source, and that the human mind is capable of contacting that Source through the practice of Meditation. The bigger the groups, the bigger the beneficial effects for everyone.
Please join us on this occasion to enliven the unified field of consciousness and help bring about the peace we so desperately need! Please bring your own yoga mat, blanket, or any other prop you need to be comfortable. Video on Meditation

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.

Vishnu's Couch Yoga Studio presents
Group Meditation and Satsang Retreat
Sunday, May 26th
From 1:00 - 6:00pm
at
61 Prospect Ave. 4th Floor
Binghamton, NY 13901
Meditation is the most effective means for significant beneficial change in our lives and in the world, simply because it facilitates access to the deeper layers of our true Self--the source of our being. And since practicing in groups significantly increases the effects (see research), please take advantage of this opportunity to dive deeper and marinate longer in the blissful silence of meditation.
The day will consist mostly of sitting meditation punctuated by:
walking meditation, relaxation, sound meditation, pranayama, gentle asanas, Satsang, and a light vegan Soup-du-jour.
Join-in at any time;
stay for as long as you would like and
invite your friends along; the more the merrier!
Donations welcomed
