Samyama's April Prana Pulse

In the Lounge this Month....

Back by popular demand, Joanne Brohmer has added a SECOND DATE to her Reiki I Certification Workshop.

What many Samyama visitors don't know about Joanne is that she is a Reiki Master, Cranio-Sacral Therapist and Family Constellation Facilitator.

If you have an interest in vibrational therapies, then open your heart and your hands on Sunday, April 10th from 10 until 5 PM and experience the healing energies of Reiki.

And stay tuned for Joanne's Reiki II Certification Workshop coming to Samyama this summer.

Compassion Cultivation Training (CCT)™ is an 8-week educational program developed by Stanford's School of Medicine's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education to help you improve your resilience and feel more connected to others - ultimately providing an overall sense of well-being.

CCT combines traditional contemplative practices with contemporary psychology and scientific research to help you lead a more compassionate life. Through instruction, daily meditation, mindfulness, and in-class interaction, you can strengthen the qualities of compassion, empathy, and kindness.

Coming to Ascension this Month....

Now and Then: Asana and Philosophy with

Anirudh Shastri will meet on Sunday, April 24th from 1:15 to 3:30 PM.

Patanjali draws a map of what may most likely happen if and when we lose our balance and squeeze ourselves out of the imprisonment from a factor called Time. At each stage of our life, our perception of time varies. In the Vibhuti Pad of Patanjali, we are given a key to the door of this prison of Time termed as "Samaya." Our awareness of time leads us to Samyama , the present moment , which is the real juice of living a happy life.
