Thanksgiving Morning Class

11/20/2022

The Sagittarius New Moon on November 23 brings waves of fresh energy, inspiring us to clear the old and welcome the new. If there is an area of your life that is in need of a reset or past challenges you want to leave behind, this New Moon will be on your side! My intention is for you to access some of this fresh, reset energy and infuse it into your own life.

For this virtual class if possible please have handy:

Pen and paper
Aura cleansing tool of choice (smoke from herbs or incense, bells, selenite wand, etc.)

I look forward to seeing you there!

in love & light!

Guru Ram Das' Birthday Full Moon Healing

10/4/2022

The Aries Full Moon on Sunday, October 9th is here to heal. But, this healing doesn't come in a neatly wrapped package, instead, this healing comes from reaching that point where there is nothing else left to do but surrender.

October 9th is Guru Ram Das' birthday...known as the Lord of Miracles....including miraculous healing.

Come be held in community on this special evening.

Healing for all

Akaaaaal

Sat Nam all,
Please consider chanting Akal for our dear sister's husband who recently passed. Ram Kaur's husband, John Bloebaum, died on Aug 27 from a heart attack.
Here's a short article on this mantra that supports the soul's transition from the physical realm.

Monthly Healing Circles

Please join Guru Surya at Lighthouse Yoga each month during the full moon for a Healing Circle.

Open Lotus Heart Meditation

When the Heart Center is strong and open, old wounds can heal and defenses begin to drop away.
We are most aligned with our real Self when we have the strength to stay open and connected.

May 13 - June 21

This is our "All Camp Meditation" that we'll practice together during our Solstice gathering. Practice for 3-11 minutes. Use your own sound current or chant along with a recording. We like Ram Singh's.

Full Moon Meditation

Ravijot Kaur is hosting a Full Moon Meditation on Thursday, Jan 28. Please join in if you feel called - all are welcome. We'll begin at 6:30pm with meditation and have some social time afterwards.

Sat Nam, I'm Ravijot, I'm a KRI Certified Instructor and have been practicing and teaching Kundalini Yoga and Meditation for many years. I moved here last August from Pasadena, CA with my husband Jeff. I'm looking forward to leading this month's Full Moon meditation.
The Shabd Guru is central to my spiritual path. I like to include elements of my practice and what has inspired me when I teach. On January 28 we'll practice a short kriya/meditation for the "Elementary Adjustment of the Brain" and then a core alignment meditation, that uses jappa (mantra recitation), for "Keeping You Steady & on the Path."
Wahe Guru!
