Deep Bang, Less Bucks ~ New Format for Breathwork at The Hub

This week marks the beginning of a new format for Breathwork classes at The Hub.  We're endeavoring to bring the actual experience that the Breathwork opens up to as many people as are ready to Soar!  Rather than full-on workshops, these sessions will now be 1 hour dives focused primarily on the experience of the Breathwork at the drop-in rate of $20 (or less if you're using a series pass that includes access to yoga, meditation, and breathwork classes)

 

Friday, July 17 ~ 8-9pm ~ The Hub (West LA)

Going Further

What is further for you?  In a safe, strong, loving container, this Friday night, you’re invited to Go Further.  Further into love, Further into self-acceptance, Further into the Unknown, Further into the Truth of You.

I’m also feeling called to bring in more work with Sound.  The Hub has a number of profoundly resonant quartz crystal singing bowls.  The vibration from these quartz bowls moves through the physical and subtle bodies, melting through old structures, old beliefs, melting them back into simple vibrant energy that can be used as fuel for Anything.

Using simple tools of PERSPECTIVE, Awareness, and Breath, you’ll strengthen your tools for deepening your own process of Freedom...

Breath Deep. Heart Awake. Body Soft. Attention Clear and Present.

Join Us.

These ECSTATIC BREATHWORKSHOPS are nothing less than a journey deeper into the experience and expression of who and what you are, a journey into the Heart of Freedom within.  Through a simple and powerful breathing meditation, you gain and deepen the tools for seeing past your former limitations, gain muscle for being your own best ally, teacher, and healer, and deeply taste a place free of insecurity, full of self-love.

Enjoying Meditation, Tasting Freedom || Wednesday Nights 7:45-9pm @ The Hub

 

ENJOYING MEDITATION, TASTING FREEDOM  ~  Wednesday Nights at The Hub  ~ 7:45-9pm

Every week I’m more excited than the last for these Wednesday night gatherings.  There’s a building momentum, and a gathering depth, that’s creating a strong, safe, and vibrant container/space to go deep into the world of Freedom that meditation can open.  Each week we’re standing on the shoulders of the previous week’s growth.  Each week, we’re diving deeper into the direct experience of Silence, Love, Stillness, Renewal, and in the presence of others.  Doing this work in a group setting is silently encouraging an unraveling of what it is to be deeply yourSelf in the midst of others. 

Meditation can be FUN, and enjoying is a skill you can learn at any point, a skill that scales out to infinite depth and breadth and will impact every single area of your life. 

Come!

We've made it super-affordable for you...priced like a yoga class so you can experience the cumulative effect of sitting with a group, the exponential expansion over time...

In a recent newsletter, friend, mentor, and the teacher who trained me to teach meditation, Sally Kempton, writes ~

"As a teacher, I've learned that the way something is said can literally shift consciousness. This is especially true of meditation instructions. When your inner field is open and receptive, a few words of guidance or a pointing-out instruction will open up pathways that can take you into the heart of being itself. That's one reason why meditating with a teacher and a group can be so instrumental in awakening your deepest experience in meditation. Because the words that point to stillness carry the energy of stillness, you can often go deeper inside with the right words than you do on your own. Then, when you're meditating on your own again, the pathway that the instructions have kindled is there to guide you."

What’s occupying you?  Where is your Attention (thoughts, feelings, and awareness) pulled consciously AND unconsciously?  Is it the Truth of what you truly are as unfettered Freedom?  And if you have glimpsed the Truth of what you and I are, where is there room for it to be more fully EMBODIED?

Using simple tools of PERSPECTIVE, Awareness, and Breath, you’ll strengthen your tools for deepening your own process of Freedom...

Awakening Power through Tenderness and Strength this SUNDAY 5/8, 6:30-8pm at The Hub

TENDERNESS AND STRENGTH = POWER

In the process of growing up and waking up, and building Strength, a vast number of us have lost touch with Tenderness....or have gone the other direction and built a sort of Tenderness that is missing Strength.

Tenderness without Strength can create relationships of massive codependence, carrying pain for other people as way to get love, blurred boundaries, and a painful sort of ultra-sensitivity.

Strength without Tenderness can produce human "islands", lone wolves, and an absence of real Communion with other people and groups.

I've been studying this in myself, sanding off the crust of old battle scars from my Heart, stretching its edges wider than is comfortable, and finding this incredible Power.

Which side are you more anchored into?  Where is there room for more freedom?  More Communion that includes your strength, that's grounded, present, and able to really Feel this world in a way that's not only empowering to You, it becomes a gift to every Community you're a part of, to the World as a whole.

This is an Exploration.  We don't have answers.  We're curious about what's truly Possible in Happiness, in Love, and in Freedom.  With Awareness, Breath, and Trust, we're exploring.  Join Us!

ENJOYING MEDITATION, TASTING FREEDOM ~ Wednesdays at The Hub ~ 7:45-9pm

 

I am over the moon about this new class.  Having fallen so deeply in love with my own practice over time, I'm compelled to infect as many people as possible with what the Poet-Saint Hafiz calls "The Happy Virus".  Meditation can be FUN, and enjoying is a skill you can learn at any point, a skill that scales out to infinite depth and breadth and will impact every single area of your life.  Come! And we've made it super-affordable for you...priced like a yoga class so you can experience the cumulative effect of sitting with a group, the exponential expansion over time...

In her latest newsletter, friend, mentor, and the teacher who trained me to teach meditation, Sally Kempton, writes ~ 

"As a teacher, I've learned that the way something is said can literally shift consciousness. This is especially true of meditation instructions. When your inner field is open and receptive, a few words of guidance or a pointing-out instruction will open up pathways that can take you into the heart of being itself. That's one reason why meditating with a teacher and a group can be so instrumental in awakening your deepest experience in meditation. Because the words that point to stillness carry the energy of stillness, you can often go deeper inside with the right words than you do on your own.

ENJOYING MEDITATION, TASTING FREEDOM  ~  Wednesdays at The Hub  ~ 7:45-9pm

·       What if you could meditate easily and deeply enjoy it? 

·       What if meditation could open you to expanding your ability to consciously live from Joy, Love, and Freedom independent of your circumstances?

·       What if meditation could give you potent and infinite access to the very Source of creative energy fueling the greatest expressions and innovations in Art, Music, Business, Science, and Awakening?

It can, and you’re ready, exactly as you are.  Whether you’re new to the practice of meditation, a seasoned meditator, or somewhere in-between, these evenings are for you.  Drawing on a timeless lineage of Living Wisdom, we’ll dive into this deep well of Inspiration, Rejuvenation, and Revelation, using these Wednesday nights to expand your ability to access deep meditative states and bring more ease, grace, and Freedom to every area of your life.

Meditation is so much more than a daily event, it’s a place to live from.

“Meditation is also a skill.  It takes time to develop your inner ‘muscles’ of focus and to learn how to let go into the inner world.  It takes practice to discover how to let yourself move along the pathways of the inner shakti, to stay aware without thinking, and to hold an inner state when it arises.” –Sally Kempton

“Many people have difficulty when they begin to meditate.  They attempt to ‘conquer’ meditation, as if it were the enemy.  That will never work.  One must drift naturally into the meditative state.” – Dr. Svami Purna

Each week we’ll work with different entry points to deep meditation through several guided meditations and Q & A.  You will leave these evenings armed with tools to continually deepen and enjoy your own experience of mediation, yourself, and life!

Chair and floor seating are both available.

 $20 – Drop In /  $75 – 5 Class Series  /  $140 – 10 Class Series

Suggested Reading ~ Meditation For The Love Of It, Enjoying Your Own Deepest Expereince  by Sally Kempton available for purchase at The Hub.

The Truth Will Set You Free by Dr. Svami Purna available at Amazon.com
