Identity Theft ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm

External things-from objects to people to roles- are necessary to live in this world. The problem begins though when we start making them ‘ours’ – owning them and identifying with them, when we make them ‘me/ myself’ and forget I. Behind all the me’s is the I that we all are- our identity.

Karma and How it Works

Afternoon Workshop

Sunday 1:00 to 6:00 pm

What goes around comes around, what you give, you get back – that’s the law of karma, the philosophy of action and reaction.

Does karma always find a way to get back to us? Does it come back tenfold, a hundredfold? Does it have a deadline? Can we break out of the cycle of karma? How to rise above negative karma? Maybe turn it around? And does the law of karma run the world? Should we just let karma sort everything out?

What is karma, really? Well there are many misunderstandings and mythologies surrounding this fascinating topic. Join us to understand the meaning, the significance and the process of karma and how it works.

Going Into Silence ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm

A type of silence for Raja Yoga meditation is not one to make my mind go blank or to create ‘empty’ silence, it is rather the time that I take to look inside in order to come into the awareness of the inner being that I truly am. Deep at the core of every human being there is inherent goodness, love, truth, beauty and dignity. The purpose of this type of silence practice is to enable me to realize and re-connect with this core.

Silence Meditation Retreat

3 Day Retreat

Thursday 6 pm to Sunday 5 pm

Access peace, creative expression and your inner wisdom 

Whether you are an experienced or beginning meditator you can benefit from a period of silent meditation to quiet the mind and reset your priorities. Clearing through the mind with the aid of silent meditation, we discover that just below the surface of our thoughts and emotions, there is a clear and peaceful mind and heart that offer creative and clear directions. This creativity and self-awareness connects us with our deeper selves and each other.  Learning to deepen this process of silent meditation in a group is easier than meditating alone, as the collective resonance enhances the experience. Join us and access your true potential. Side effects may include feeling joyous and content.

Key Takeaways:

1. Ability to easily tap into the power of inner peace and wisdom at any time
2. Cultivate concentration skills that enhance creativity and clarity
3. Experience exercises that improve energy, flow and overall well-being

Schedule includes: Guided meditations, creative exercises, nature and labyrinth walks, hatha yoga, movement, community service and yogic breathing practices.

Facilitator: Jay (Janardhan) Chodagam, MS, is a meditation trainer since 2001 based in San Francisco. He regularly conducts meditation retreats in Marin and hosts the weekly San Francisco Meditation Meetup. He is also the producer of the annual Peace in the Park festival in SF and SPIRIT Summit in India. www.about.me/chodagam

Awake and Aware ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm

When we are conscious of our own identity our intellect is naturally awake. It becomes alert and we are able to see and discern the thoughts in our minds. We are able to exercise the power of our mind the way we want; we can channel the energy of our minds in direction we want to go. We are then able to hear our inner knowing (conscience) and its direction (wisdom).

Finding the Flow ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm

The question to ask isn’t ‘How do I find the flow?’ It is ‘How do I unblock the flow?’ You are the flow. We are energy. This energy can’t be seen; we do know it though. It is the energy that says I am; the energy of pure awareness. The natural flow of us is for our energy to bubble up, like a fresh water spring, out of our consciousness and flow out into life.

Without Blame ~ Tuesday evening at Anubhuti

Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30 pm

Meditation allows us to see both my strengths and my weaknesses. Seeing this I stop the blame and the judging and instead choose to educate myself appropriately. Negative thoughts close the heart and it becomes unfaithful to the head. Create positive thoughts so the heart can begin to trust once again. When the head feels the energy of faith it will look after the heart.
