SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: An Evening with Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD - "Why Study the Yoga Sutras Anyway?" - September 5\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – September 5\, 2019\n“Why Study the Yoga Sutras Anyway?”\nAn Evening with Stephen Parker (Stoma)\, PsyD\n  \nStoma’s Monday night text seminar decided at the end of the last text (Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra) to come back to the Yoga Sutras where our journey together began 18 years ago (YIKES!). Stoma has often stated that one cannot return to the fundamentals too often and this is certainly true of this very deep and comprehensive text. Swami Veda went through the Sutras three times and each time he re-read his previous writings and lectures he would say\, “Who was the idiot who wrote that?!” Each time there are new insights. This talk will discuss why this map of spiritual practice is so useful and some of the particularities of its study that many modern students miss. There is a particular traditional way of study that is critical to really getting to the sweet juice in this beautiful spiritual fruit. (Yoga Alliance CE credits will be available for anyone who needs them.) \n  \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone! ($10)\n7:00 – 7:30: Guided Meditation (free!)\n7:30 – 8:30: Inspiring Presentation and discussion (donation appreciated)\n8:30 – 9:00: Vegetarian soup (suggested donation $3)\n9:00: Evening Prayers and Clean-up

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: "Community Music Night with Chris Young!" - September 19\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – September 19\, 2019\n Community Music Night with Chris Young!\nA wonderful way to enjoy\, grow\, and maintain community is through playing and singing devotional music together. Expressing ourselves through music is a natural way to deepen and strengthen our relationship to the Divine\, to others\, and to ourselves. We’ll play some kirtan songs from popular artists\, some english language songs\, and maybe others! All meant to focus attention towards and open the heart to receiving a positive vibration. There will be lyric sheets with chord symbols and some percussion instruments available for those who would like to sing and play along (if inspired to\, please bring an instrument)\, or just come and enjoy the sound and community! \nThis is meant to be a community experience\, not a performance. As such\, we will intend to enjoy the silence between songs in order to deepen the experience of a rising and dissipating vibration. It is an opportunity to express; to receive and give without concern of skill level or musicality. We just want to make a joyful noise! \nChris Young is a longtime initiate and member of The Meditation Center\, and also a pretty ok musician! He has studied the yoga of sound since becoming a musician in his teens\, and loves to share his talents and joy for devotional music. \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone!

SUMMARY:Thursday Satsang: Nuri Hassumani Will Speak About His Book\, "Infinite Mind"- December 5\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thursday Satsang – December 5\, 2019  \nNuri Hassumani Will Speak About His Book\, “Infinite Mind” \n \nFollowing his presentation signed copies of his book will be available for purchase. \n“We are never supposed to be imprisoned in the “ordinary”\, the daily tedium that limits us to our five senses. We are nonordinary!  We are a part of an amazing greater whole\, which links us to infinite intelligence and power. However\, as pointed out by scholar and teacher\, Nuri Hassumani\, PhD.\, we let our fears take over. Rather than embrace the available wisdom\, we filter it out. And so\, we remain small. \nWeaving together stories of extra-special events and the science of the miraculous\, Nuri reveals our true potential. The seemingly supernatural abilities like healing\, telepathy\, remote viewing\, manifesting\, and interactive dreaming are inherent to us all\, because we are a part of the conscious universe. By accessing this skein of brilliance\, we can join the quest for the exceptional. Every sentence in Nuri’s book left me breathless and ready for more\, committed to rising above the mundane to dance among the stars.” Quote regarding Nuri’s book from Cyndi Dale\, author of 27 bestselling books about energy medicine and healing. \n  \n6:00 p.m. Hatha Yoga\n7:00 p.m. Meditation with Swami Radha Bharati\n\n7:30 p.m.  Presentation by  Nuri Hassumani\n\n8:30 p.m. Vegan Soup and Clean-Up\n9:00 p.m. Prayers and Meditation

SUMMARY:Sunday Satsang:   At The Center with Michael Smith and Jim Nelson 10:00 a.m. – 12 Noon
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Satsang:   At The Center with Michael Smith and Jim Nelson 10:00 a.m. – 12 Noon\n\nTime:  10:00 a.m. – 12:00 Noon \nThe general theme in the Sunday Sessions in 2019 has been space-clearing (on all levels) — external objects\, physical toxins (as with Ayurveda)\, emotional baggage\, unhelpful thoughts\, bad habits etc. – especially pertaining to taking Vanaprastha Vows. \nA new phase of our studies begins this week as we delve within into the study of the mind. \n Swami Rama said\, “You are the architect of your life\,” but new research on neuroplasticity tells us that we can be the architects of our minds. \n  \n* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * \nThis Sunday we will review what was covered on December 22nd and discuss \nTen Questions from FINDING MEANING IN THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE  by James Hollis  \nIs the life you are living too small for your soul’s desire? \nWe all retain an intuitive tie to that great\, immortal sea from whence we came – hence the re-cognition\, the re-membrance. Additionally\, there are moments in one’s life when things are meant to happen\, when outer and inner are aligned. We have mastered the language of the outer world through physics and chemistry\, but the principle of synchronicity acknowledges that there is an inner world of causality as well. When the moment is ripe for us to hear\, then the word is spoken. Perhaps the word is always being spoken\, but it takes our readiness to hear. \nWhy does the idea of the soul both trouble you and feel familiar\, like a long-lost companion? \nThe soul (anima\, alma\, ame\, Seele\, psyche) is simply the word for our intuited sense of a presence that is other than the ego\, larger than the ego\, and sometime in conflict with the ego. The soul is the archetype of meaning and the agent of organic wholeness…. \nThe idea of the soul…asks something of us; that is\, it summons ego consciousness to an accounting. The soul asks for a larger frame of reference\, to an eternal perspective amid our time-bound egos and their reductive\, fear-driven agendas. Such a presence reminds us that we are never alone when alone\, that is another that provides continuity to our fractured days\, organic unity to our broken selves\, and transcendence to our fallen condition. The soul is intuited in childhood\, pushed aside by the adaptive choices of consciousness\, and recovered in adulthood only when we are willing to open to it. \nI was in my fourth year of analysis at Zurich…before it really hit home to me that there was an active place of wisdom\, deeper than my conscious knowing\, that had been speaking to me all the while. What an obvious recognition\, yet how recalcitrant my consciousness had been. That trek from head to heart took four years. \nWhen we ask the meaning of a mood\, reflect upon our history\, inquire into the dynamics of a physical symptom\, ponder a dream\, we are in dialogue with soul. When we are wrung by life\, flung into dismal depths\, then lifted higher than we thought possible\, transformed from what we were to what we become\, we are in the presence of soul. \nIn a poem titled “Autumn\,”  Rilke describes how not only the leaves are falling\, but all things\, this heavy earth\, all falling through space\, and we with it. Yet\, he concludes: \n“And still there is one who in his hands gently \nHolds this falling endlessly.” \nThe poet does not name the one whose hands hold the cosmos\, but he does intuit that all that fall are sustained nonetheless by something even larger. So the idea of the soul\, the felt presence of the soul intimidates while is sustains\, and the summons to the ego is to relinquish its fantasy of sovereignty and be held in that fall. \nConsider these questions. Answer them honestly to yourself or they will prove of no value. If they hurt a bit\, or intimidate a lot\, then they are hitting home for you. Answer them honestly\, and you are on the way to the insight that leads to wisdom\, the wisdom that leads to change\, and change that leads to a larger life\, and the larger life that ultimately provides healing because it is the life the gods intended for you. \n  \n***************************************************** \n  \n \n  \nSunday Community Gathering (Satsang)\nSunday Satsang sessions are informal gatherings of people who are interested in refining their meditative practices and their lifestyles following the teachings of the Himalayan Yoga Tradition. \nSenior Teachers Jim Nelson and Michael Smith host each session: \n\nMeet from 10:00 AM – 12 Noon\n45-minute Guided Meditation\nPresentation and a Discussion\n\nThere are some Sundays when Sunday Satsang is not held or when other events and presentations replace the Sunday Satsang sessions.

SUMMARY:Jim Nelson's Talk has Been Postponed Until February 20th - Thursday Satsang - "Conscience—Gateway to the  Superconscious Mind and Perfect Wisdom" with Jim Nelson - January 23\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:Postponed until February 20th. Thursday Satsang  – January 23\, 2020\n“Conscience—Gateway to the\nSuperconscious Mind and Perfect Wisdom”\nwith Jim Nelson\nPsychologist Jim Nelson (Jiminy Nelson—Jiminy Cricket’s half-brother) will facilitate an exploration of the importance of coordinating the four functions of our mind\, if we are to enliven our yoga sadhana. The four interconnected functions of mind are: Manas (sensory—logic mind)\, Chitta (unconscious mind)\, Ahamkara (ego driven mind)\, Pure Buddhi (Conscience/intuitive mind). Each of these has an essential role to play in our sadhana. \nIf\, however\, our thoughts\, words\, and actions aren’t aligned and guided by Conscience and pure intuition (downloads from the superconscious mind)\, we are destined to suffer physically\, mentally\, emotionally\, relationally\, and spiritually. In an interactive forum\, we will explore how to coordinate the four functions of our mind. And\, importantly\, how to purify our buddhi and open to intuition insights\, so our conscience will serve as an unblemished mirror receiving infallible guidance from the Superconscious mind. Then we can walk in the Tao with enthusiasm\, creativity\, and joy. \nAll are welcome! Come for the entire evening\, or join at any time. There is no need to make reservations. Simply show up and enjoy yourself!\nWeekly Format:\n6:00 – 7:00: Hatha Yoga for Everyone!
