Hello and welcome to all the registrants for the First Course in Meditation in Livonia starting **this week April 29th (Wednesday)**
Thanks for registering, since seats were limited but now we have almost closed registration with 1 seat left. Not bad!
This also helps me to create the right amount of CDs for you all to take home.
The course is designed to be experiential with less emphasis on theory/academics of meditation. Apart from your primary instructor, I have invited experienced meditators to attend the classes to share their experience and wisdom as we progress through the course. The first day we will spend a little time on housekeeping matters relevant to the entire course.
We will begin at 7pm at Stautzenberger. If you don’t know the location, here is the address and map:
9449 Hix Rd
Livonia, MI 48150
Let me know if you need anything. Here is a 4 minute breathing meditation if you want to have a little taste of what is coming up:

At this point, we have spent almost two weeks mastering basic meditation, balancing our energy channels and learning how to guide energy using our hands.
In the next class this Wednesday, we will finish learning the rest of the hand movements. Why do the hands movements work so well for directing our energies? We will answer this question by exploring the nature of the inner energy within us. The disc for week 3 has three guided meditations that will help you to master the complex hand movements. These optional hand movements are great for getting into meditation faster and spending more time enjoying meditative bliss and less time getting into it!
Here is a preview of the third audio compilation:

Please remember to bring your footsoak tub, disc #2 and your learning tracker card!

PRESS RELEASE :: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Meditation Skills Now Highly Accessible in South East Michigan
Meditation is a proven approach to manage stress, gain inner peace and balance. A free meditation course in Winter 2009 at the Stautzenberger Health & Wellness Institute in Livonia, MI. An open house introducing the classes will take place on December 13th 2008 10am – 4pm.
Livonia, MI November 22, 2008 – Free meditation classes are being offered at the Stautzenberger Health & Wellness Institute starting Winter 2009. The weekly evening classes will provide instruction in meditation, advice to sustain a balanced stress-free routine and everyday relaxation techniques.
Meditation workshops will be conducted by a group of local meditation teachers from Great Lakes Meditation which specializes in meditation outreach through free meditation workshops, seminars and courses. Each class will consist of meditation theory, practice and application. Skills to understand one’s own and other’s subtle system of chakras will be taught.
Meditation research has shown proven benefits through reduction in thinking processes, which results in a calming state of mind, often called thoughtless awareness. The teachers are experienced in providing relevant feedback to aide student progress and teach hands-on skills in energy work. This makes the course engaging, enjoyable and relevant. Benefits are tangible almost immediately as the techniques are easy practice and do not require strenuous poses, specific clothing or dietary needs.
The group of instructors have taught meditation & conducted demonstrations at various venues in South East Michigan, including high school courses in Ann Arbor. The vision is to empower individuals to be self-sufficient in sustaining inner balance and be value adding members of society in the future. For the knowledge to be accessible and sustainable an open source model is adopted where the meditation knowledge is understood and applied freely without the need to license the further use or patent the processes.
The weekly classes will open up new opportunities to learn meditation, meditate collectively and become skilled at maintaining balance in the inner energy system of chakras and channels. Learn all about the course offering at the open house on December 13th 2008, 10am – 4pm at the Stautzenberger Health & Wellness location in Livonia (www.sitoday.com).
