Learn the science of mantra in meditation and how it is a tool to help focus your mind and move through blocks to a deeper meditative experience.
This class opens the opportunity for the student to receive a personal mantra. We will also cover the use of a mala, japa practice and akandajapa, as well as what to expect during mantra initiation. The cost of the class includes the CDs/mp3 files of Swami Veda’s “Mantra and Meditation” lectures.
Jennifer found the Meditation Center in 2007 and was initiated into the Himalayan tradition in 2008 by Pandit Hari Shankar Dabral. She has taught hatha as well as Meditation I, II and III at the center and in studios in the Twin Cities, and is continuing on with the 600-hr teacher training program of the Association of Himalayan Yoga Meditation Societies International. She has served on the center’s board.
Jennifer earned her MA and PhD at the Johns Hopkins University, and has taught philosophy and women’s studies to college students in Minnesota and the East Coast. She has a particular interest in mantra practice and science, as well as the metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of language underlying ancient Yogic texts.
