The Torrance Meditation Meetup @ Ananda Meditation Center

Expand your sense of harmony, and gain an increased sense of God's loving presence in your life through the ancient and effective techniques of yoga-meditation, community, and divine friendship.

The purpose of this meetup is to help you discover that you can meditate, to help you meditate more deeply, and to support your spiritual growth through personal experience of your inner divine nature.

You'll be guided step by step through yoga techniques that will prepare you for a guided deep relaxation and seated meditation.

No experience is needed. We have chairs, meditation benches, and everything you need to sit comfortably.

Each meeting is unique. Meetings usually include spiritually oriented yoga practice and may work with chakras, chanting, pranayama (breath/energy work), and visualization.

We practice teachings and techniques in the tradition of Kriya yoga, based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, http://www.ananda...

and his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda. http://www.swamik...

    "Hi All: I am not new to meditation. However, the prana would be stable if the company is good and peaceful. When the prana is stable, mind does not take many forms and deviates. I would love to meditate with all of you if you allow me. OM tat sat"
