Free MP3 Meditation and Autumn News

September 7th, 2011, Posted in Newsletter, Uncategorized

Dear All

The energies of summer have bathed us in their radiance, and now we take the opportunity to breathe in the falling shades of autumn as climate and mood shift perceptibly, offering us shorter days and longer evenings to sit down with a a good book or a favourite meditation.  Autumn offers a time for us to take stock after the high-energy phase of summer, allowing us the opportunity to focus on regeneration, renewal and healing.  As the sun loses height, shadows lengthen, reminding us that we need to take stock now, as nature does, drawing in our energies, centering ourselves in this period of transition.  Often there is the temptation as winter approaches to draw inwards, and this has tremendous benefit, but let us also offer something of our inner radiance to each other as we come together for prayer, meditation or roll out our yoga mats with a feeling of community and belonging.  

 For my part I am delighted to be collaborating with The Light and Energy Channel (www.thelightandenergychannel.tv) to produce a series of channelled Archangel Chakra Balancing Meditations, featuring the beautiful channelled music of Thaddaeus.  This series of seven meditations will be available to purchase through the shop on my webiste, either individually or as a set.  As a taste of what you can expect, we are offering a free MP3 meditation download which is designed to compliment the series and serves as a great introduction to the seven major chakras, their locations and colour associations.  To access the meditation follow the instructions and the link at the end of this e-mail.  We hope you enjoy and would love to receive your feedback.

What is Integral Yoga?

The Teachings of Integral Yoga
What is Integral Yoga?

by Sri Swami Satchidananda

“The goal of Integral Yoga, and the birthright of every individual, is to realize the spiritual unity behind all the diversities in the entire creation and to live harmoniously as members of one universal family. This goal is achieved by maintaining our natural condition of a body of optimum health and strength, senses under total control, a mind well-disciplined, clear and calm, an intellect as sharp as a razor, a will as strong and pliable as steel, a heart full of unconditional love and compassion, an ego as pure as a crystal, and a life filled with Supreme Peace and Joy.”
- HH Sri Swami Satchidananda

Integral Yoga® is a synthesis of the various branches of Yoga. It is a comprehensive system for the harmonious development of every aspect of the individual.  The limbs of Yoga all of which are contained within the Integral Yoga® system are:

Hatha Yoga
Focuses on the physical aspects through asanas (postures), pranayama (breath control), mudras, kriyas, yogic diet, and deep relaxation.

Raja Yoga
Balance and control of the mind through ethical practices, concentration and meditation.

Bhakti Yoga
The path of devotion, by constant love, thought, and service of the Divine. Bhakti Yoga can be practiced by everyone. All that is needed is faith and constant remembrance of God.

Karma Yoga
The path of action and selfless service. Serving without attachment to the fruits (or results) of the action.

Jnana Yoga
The intellectual approach. Through the knowledge of what really exists, that is, what is not changeable, one who engages in the Path of Wisdom realizes Oneness with the entire Universe.

Japa Yoga
Japa means repetition of a mantram – a sound structure of one or more syllables which represents a particular aspect of the Divine Vibration.
