Morning Meditation with Mary Thomas
Tuesday mornings, 8:00am-8:45am
Affirmation, prayer, chant and meditation to fill the world with God’s light. Morning meditation sets a positive tone for your day, aiding with focus, an increase in productivity, uplifted energy, and sense of well-being. Regular daily meditation is also known to reduce stress, promote physical healing, develop mental and emotional clarity, will power and intuition. The highest purpose of meditation, however, is spiritual awakening – to discover your Highest Self. Guided and silent meditation.
“Everyone who makes a sincere effort on the spiritual path will surely reach his goal.” — The Essence of Self- Realization, Paramhansa Yogananda

Monthly Kriyaban Satsang
1st Wednesday evenings, 7:00pm-9:00pm
This satsang is intended to strengthen our sense of community as Yogananda’s disciples and kriyabans by supporting each other through our journey home to God. We have an opportunity to be one of the “small harmonious groups” that Master spoke of in 1945 as a model of peace and harmony to the world. Before we can inspire the world, we need to inspire ourselves and each other.
We will begin with a prayer to invoke the grace of God, pranayama to relax our bodies and quiet our minds, and chanting to awaken our hearts and deepen our devotion. We may share information intended to help deepen our kriya practice followed by a guided kriya yoga meditation. The host will be happy to answer any questions following our kriya practice.
Kriyabans, contact mike@limauro.com if interested in participating. The Zoom link will be sent individually.

Monthly Divine Will Healing with Mary Thomas
1st and 3rd Saturday mornings, 9:00am-10:15am
Our Divine Will Healing techniques originate from articles on yogic healing by Paramhansa Yogananda. Divine will is omnipresent, residing in every unit of Cosmic Energy or Universal Prana. An opening prayer, affirmation and simple devotional chant are followed by a short meditation. In this way, the heart and mind are prepared to offer individual and world prayers.
Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, taught specific techniques for awakening healing energy within each individual. These techniques have been found to overcome physical, emotional, and spiritual difficulties including serious illnesses. He emphasized that we should use our God-given powers to heal ourselves and others, but not think of them as our own powers. He stated that darkness cannot remain where the Light is present. Attuning ourselves to God’s Light (that which is present in every atom of creation) through meditation, prayer, affirmation, and other means can drive away the darkness of disease in a person’s body, mind and soul.
“The instrument is blessed by that which flows through it.” — Paramhansa Yogananda
