I just posted a new course in meditation that starts on May 14 after I get back from CA. I am so stoked about this one on Listening and Sound.
Meditation, Listening, and Sound
A New Meditation Course with Marcia Miller
Sound has always been a part of meditation practice. Mantra, for example, is the repetition of sacred words that can be chanted or repeated aloud or silently. It feels wonderful to be bathed in sound, to feel the essential vibration of life itself. Sound vibrations quiet the mind, which always feels like a relief, even though a quiet mind is not at all required for meditation.
In this 8-week series, we’ll explore simple practices that bring ease and a sense of openness to our ears and even sense our whole body as an instrument of listening and sound. We’ll explore the sacred sound of OM in lots of ways. We’ll listen to the world outside and a vast interior world as well. Join us for what will be a fun, interesting and relatively easy way to meditate. For sure you will have a new and heightened experience of vibration inside yourself. As part of Sutra 16 of The Radiance Sutras says,
The sacred power of space will carry you
Into the dancing radiant emptiness
That is the source of all.
The ocean of sound is inviting you
Into its spacious embrace,
Calling you home.
And as a special experience, the final class will be a sound bath offered by Lori Bower.
Wednesday May 14 through July 16 (no classes June 18 or 25) In person or livestream, with recordings.
And this Saturday is the other program I’m deep into preparing that everyone needs. You especially need it if you do any kind of healing work, provide therapy for others, or are feeling overwhelmed by the world we are in.
Energy Cleansing and Filling
These days, our world is filled with conflicts and people who are in great need. Whether you are sensitive to the cries (or crises) of the world, are a healer or helper who brings home the unhealed energy of your clients, or need a way to shift your energy after reading the news, this workshop has something for you.
You’ll learn your style of dealing with the energy of others in the world—are you a composter, a backpacker, an open window, Velcro, a river, or a protector? Understanding this will help you decide which practices are the best for you, including simple and powerful techniques that help you cleanse and clear your energy field when you feel cluttered or overwhelmed by the world. After you are cleared, you’ll practice techniques that help fill you up, glow you up, so you are shiny and strong. When we are radiant with Lifeforce it is harder for the world’s challenges to penetrate us. We can still be compassionate and loving, but we don’t need to carry anything that is not ours.
Practices taught come from a variety of sources including Yoga and Meditation, Reiki and Qi Gong.
It’s this Saturday, from 1:00 to 3:30p ET In person and Livestream. Sign up an more info is here.
