Friday | 8:00am - 8:45am Morning Meditation with Ganesh Das Experience a healing meditation that begins with chanting a Sanskrit mantra to calm and purify the mind and atmosphere. After we go over detailed directions on how to sit and relax the physical body while maintaining a state of receptivity and attention, we'll practice the Jivamukti meditation method for 20 minutes. This involves following the breath while systematically letting go of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in order to awaken the witness consciousness (sakshi). We'll follow the silent meditation with a period of relaxation and chanting. Finally, we'll close with a reading and a question-and-answer session. Open to all.
