Sunday 12th May "Beyond Happines" Meditation Workshop with Prachar from Australia

…be inspired
Inspiration is the guiding star of our spiritual life: the spark that awakens us from inertia, rekindles our love of life, and points us on the pathway to perfection. Without inspiration, we cannot grow, progress or succeed. But where to find inspiration, and how to keep it ever glowing?
…be happy
Happiness always seems just around the corner. We grasp it... it slips through our fingers. True happiness cannot be founded on outer circumstance, actions or renown, which are ephemeral. Happiness is a state of being, an effulgence of our soul, not contingent on anything moveable or variable. But how to achieve and maintain this elusive state?
…be grateful
Gratitude is the master key to open all hearts, starting with our own. Our most loyal friend, gratitude sweetens, lightens and purifies our consciousness; obliterates negativity, overcomes obstacles and quickens our spiritual progress. But what exactly is gratitude, and how can we achieve this treasure?
…be true
We cannot be true to ourselves, if we do not know ourselves. We are not our physical appearance, our moods, opinions, beliefs or even our personality. We are our souls. To embody truth and authenticity, we need to live in and from our soul. But where and what is the soul, and how to begin our search?
…be sure
We are uncertain and insecure because we rely on our thoughts, emotions and beliefs, which are changeable as the weather. Only our spiritual heart lives in permanent sunshine, so to be safe and sure, we must realize our sense of self with our spiritual heart. But how to relocate our dwelling to our heart-home?
…be free
For millennia we have fought for freedom – religious, political, economic, intellectual, creative and personal freedom. We are now more free than ever. And yet – we remain enslaved to our own thoughts, fears, desires and delusions. How to liberate yourself from yourself, and fly high in the freedom sky?
…be YOU
You are all you ever hoped or dreamed or longed for – and much, much more. You embody your highest ideal, spanning heaven and earth. You are the promise of world transformation, the pre-dawn of perfection.
How?
Learn to meditate

“Meditation and music cannot be separated. When we cry from the inmost recesses of our heart for Peace, Light and Bliss, that is the best type of meditation. We cannot meditate twenty-four hours a day, but we can meditate, say, for two hours a day. Then we can play music or we can listen to music for a couple of hours a day. Next to meditation is music. But it has to be soulful music, the music that stirs and elevates our aspiring consciousness. When we play soulful music, psychic music, then immediately we are transported to the highest realm of consciousness. “When we play music soulfully, we go high, higher, highest.” – Sri Chinmoy

Meditation ist ja bekanntlich die Kunst, dem Herzen zu lauschen. Wie man seine innere Stimme wahrnimmt, welche verschiedenen Stimmen in uns wirken, welche die echte innere Stimme ist und wie wir zu einer intuitiven und intelligenten Lebensführung finden und   mit Hilfe der inneren Führung und der positiven Kraft, die wir von innen Schöpfen, unser Leben neu ausrichten können, werden an diesem Abend mit einigen praktischen Übungen behandelt.
