Hari Om Blessed Selves,
Have attached a flyer for the Meditation Chant Evening in Byron on Thursday
December 13th @ 6.30 - 9pm.
Everyone is invited. Kirtan is chanting of mantras to music that uplifts
the soul, releases deep phobias, tensions, opens the heart, directs the emotions
and bypasses the mind. It can be quite an ecstatic state of meditation.
There will be a short meditation to begin and end the programme with the
chanting of a universal mantra to begin.
Vocal toning exercises to warm up the voice, a raga, rhythm and song in the
form of kirtan. Kirtan is a Yoga, the Yoga of the feelings.
For beginners to experienced. All ages.
$20 for the evening. Bring a cushion and shawl if cool.
If you could let me know or even book a place that would be great.
Please feel free to pass on this invitation to family or friends.
May you all be blessed with happiness.
Namaste
Laya

Hari Om Everyone,
The days have been beautiful filled with blue skies, light fluffy clouds
that seem to drift into unimaginable shapes that dance upon our north coast
expanding skies.
We are blessed.
However, things are speeding up in the universe, maybe your life seems to
be the same whether at work, home, family things are moving. In this time it is
important to stay focused in whatever you are doing. Dont follow the mind
chatter or the darting emotions, be in the moment, mindfulness in the moment
even if it may seem a bit boring. Its all good.
Meditation, Yoga all help to release tensions not only from the body but
especially from the mind. Calm down that mind, dont go off half baked at anyone,
not even the dog. Take a few deep breathes, and no that this too will pass,
everything is changeable.
I have moved to Alstonville. Yes, Alstonville, just a dash up from the
coast, on the high plateau with this beautiful red soil that seems to grow
anything. Alstonville is a sub tropical area so I am growing lots of food.
Vegies garden, fruit trees, paw paws they all seem to love it here. And the cute
little village that is now become quite trendy and busy.
I will be having classes and course in meditation and yoga that will begin
the week of 27th November.

NAMASTE EVERYONE
How are you. Handling the
many change that are taking place in your life whatever scenario it may
be!
Well hold on everyone,
there is more to come. With these solar flares hitting the planet, thank
goodness our beautiful small planet has this energy force field that counters
the suns flares or we would be frazzled. Apparently it happens every so many
years, so quite a normal event. However it can affect the personality of a human
and often create changes in weather patterns, earth movements, etc.
For us humans we can
experience a scattered mind, excess worrying about old hurts, habits, etc or
feeling unfocused and confused about life's path, physical symptoms such as
swirling stomach, headaches, depressed feelings, too much energy, spaceness,
overactive mind, tiredness.
How to be less effected
is to remain focused, don't panic, there is a bigger picture and be grateful.
Just get our of your mind. Practice meditation or a relaxation activity daily.
Don't believe your mind and the thoughts. Everything is not the same. Everything
is moving fast and we have to move with it.
When you ride a wave on
the ocean in surfing. You don't panic. You have the skills, the tools and when
it comes you go with it, riding it, moving with it. Sometimes you fall off but
on you get again, cause when you flow with the energy of the wave, it is an
amazing feeling.
Set aside at least 30
minutes daily for meditation. Go into a quiet, still room, sit or lie down
comfortably. Use a CD or just close your eyes and become still. Release yourself
from the state of discomfort, dissatisfaction and discontent, let go of all
worldy wants and needs, responsibilities or worries. Let it all flow out of the
body. Out of the mind.
Search for some inner
calmness either at the heart centre, or eyebrow centre. Stay there, be still.
Even if your mind wanders, bring it back to stillness. You can use the breath
to focus, a mantra, symbol.
If you do this daily or
on a regular basis you will definitely find an amazing change in the way you
act, view and relate to the world around you. You will begin to learn how your
mind works and direct it to make better choices, ones that are filled with love,
peace, contentment, happiness, cause thats what we all really
want.
Its attainable. One path
of yoga is the yoga of equanimity, samatvam, it is the yoga of peace,
contentment, equanimity and balance of mind, it a vital need for everyone.
Anyone trying to live a fulfilling life must know how to maintain equanimity
under all circumstances and be able to sustain calmness. Like accepting life as
it is given and knowing how to utilize every moment of existence as a means to
evolve one's consciousness. In other words, get rid of our limited thinking
processes, get rid of the war-like mentality that has plagued humanity for
centuries. Think, happiness, act in a happy way, be joyful, grateful, kind, see
the silver lining on the horizons, take the opportunities, make it
happen.
Please see attachment for
a Meditation Havan in September.
Float in the ocean of
serenity and rejoice in the stillness of your own Self.
Namaste,
Layananda
