NEWS: WEDNESDAY NIGHT ADVANCED MEDITATION IS BACK
Hello meditators!
We're bringing back Wednesday night meditation, an exciting return to mid-week wholeness. Zoom Invite below...
This is a great opportunity for those who want to launch into additional teachings beyond our Basic Meditation classes.
It's also great for people who just can't make our daytime classes.
To bring meditation to more people...I'll request a per-class token of energy exchange, ie. a donation of $15. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
What is Advanced Meditation?
As you may know, many students have been taking my classes for years now. I would say they are now experts in experiencing personal sanctuary. There is always more to explore.
This weekly class will feature the same core focus: Breath Awareness, Grounding, Feeling Awareness, Heart-Centering, and Visualization.
However, since this class is on my own Zoom Channel, as opposed to public channels like the LA Libraries, I will be free and easy with dropping more esoteric knowledge from our favorite traditions, including Buddhism, Taoism, and Carl Jung's work, to name a few.
We'll also explore more psychic (mind-body-spirit) tools that offer additional protection and positivity, in the same spirit of our basic meditation course, but with more explicit instruction.
Some of these tools include Rose or Lotus Visualization, Balancing and Releasing Negative Energy (from the mind, body, spirit), as well as Channeling Earth & Cosmic Energy.
We'll also explore a shameless connection to The Source. We might simply call this The Self. We might call it the Higher Self. We might call this Supreme Being. We might call this the One Infinite Creator. Many words for the same thing.
As always, The Human Spirit is primary. We invite people of all faiths, religions, paths, and yogas to join us in the journey of self-knowledge.
And don't forget...it will be fun!

Basic Class Outline:
We begin with the foundation of breathing and move through subsequent body scans, touching upon the human energy centers with emphasis on the belly, heart, and head.
We move through an exploration of feeling — your faculty of weighing and measuring your experience.
We often explore the heart—whatever that means to you. This can be your own way of cultivating self-love or neutral self-understanding. Or it could just mean “centering”.
Finally, we center in the head to explore visualization. Here we envision the energy we’ve cultivated through feeling and understanding, sometimes utilizing specific symbols like the mandala, the flower, or the star, containers that express the inner and outer duality of being.
We finish our meditation with a positive placebo we call the golden sun. This is a creative image we conjure up in the mind that represents our true essence. This comes from you and no one else. Since this comes from the space of the imagination, it can be as big as the universe (representing our ability to transcend an experience union). It might also be as small as a tiny spark (representing the infinite source of energy within). We pepper this image with any quality we feel we might need in present-time to achieve balance, be it peace, harmony, love, resilience, humor, or creativity.
We let this creative visualization travel back through our being in a reverse journey, this time from the crown to the root.
