MEDITATION CLASSES

Meditation in the Himalayan tradition is a tried-and-true, effective technique for improving mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Himalayan Heritage Center for Yoga and Holistic Health offers meditation instruction in the last three classes of the series of 10 classes on-site, taught by Ma Yoga Shakti. Mataji received her training at the Himalayan International Institute of Yoga Science and Philosophy, where she was a resident student 1978-1998. She was ordained as a swamini at the Swami Rama Foundation Trust Ashram in Haryana, India, by Dr. V. Anand Swami in 2008.

Individual consultations may focus on learning meditation also. This should be discussed with Mataji when scheduling the individual consultations.

Meditation is an "inward journey on which you come to know who you are, where you have come from, what your intrinsic traits and characteristics are...meditation introduces you to yourself. Once you know your true self it will be easy for you to figure out your relationship with the world, as well as your relationship with the Lord of Life...You will not be caught in religious conflicts. The real truth is the same truth for all..." Swami Rama, quoted in At the Eleventh Hour, by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, p.261.
