LEARN YOGIC MEDITATION
"In service to our community, I invite you, friends, & family to join me in learning yogic meditation so as to start, establish, & maintain a practice. As expressed by Pantanjali in the Yoga Sutras, "YOGA IS CONTROLLING THE THOUGHT WAVES OF THE MIND". This is the ultimate goal of our yoga postures, to purify the body and mind physically so that we can discipline ourselves to sit quietly, direct our energy and focus inward, and experience our true nature, free from the "mental chatter".
For many, this can be uncomfortable at first because we, in not developing a practice of stillness, have by default, trained our minds to run rampant, untamed...However, we all know that thoughts not only effect our emotional state, but also, manifests our reality...how we experience our lives and the world around us. In order to change things positively, we must address the mind, we must develop healthy practices that clear our mental space, center ourselves, quiet the noise, and connect us to our "higher self", the "SELF" that sees the planet and all beings within a greater, intelligent universe, that therefore carries the wisdom that is bestowed when we function from that perspective, that therefore opens in compassion & service to all beings, that sees and feels all as one!
Meditation is a powerful means also, of activating the pineal gland which is responsible for
hormones such as seratonin and dmt that allow for feelings of well-being, bliss, healthy dreaming and unity. It is also responsible for melatonin production that insures better sleep.
As yoga means "union", this is our aim...unity through meditation or mindful stillness. We cultivate and come to know not just the word "union", but more importantly, how it feels to be ONE! We must imprint or register this feeling within our being by residing in it for periods of time...longer and longer periods of time so that we can return to it, know when it is lacking, and especially how to use it to self-manage and improve our lives. Mental equilibrium and sense of wholeness is what the world needs! We see this need all around us, in the news, media, entertainment, in our personal lives & drama of the day to day...so join me in this practice of peace...
Join me to help establish ourselves as peacekeepers by returning to the quiet stillness of our original nature, our highest self!

What a fabulous Yogic Meditation class on Dec. 22. Prema Trish is so welcoming and loving... Class members got to know each other by talking about past meditation experiences which ranged from advanced to beginner. We had tea and fruit before meditating together for about 20 minutes, then we spoke what meditation brings to our lives and, perhaps more importantly, what meditation pushes out of our lives. Unwholesome behaviors and relationships can be hard to let go of, but Prema Trish was loving, supportive and experienced. A wonderful evening of spiritual connection.
