Guided Meditations via Zoom

Guided Group Meditations

⚪ Guided meditation can be applied to assist with creative visualization, relieving stress, escaping the endless ramblings of the “monkey mind”, experiencing your own true nature, as well as for endless therapeutic applications such as to provide relief from insomnia, anxiety, PTSD, chronic fatigue, chronic pain such as fibromyalgia, and so much more.

 

⚪ Yoga Nidra meditation returns you to your own inner Self, giving you a chance to experience that perfect peace and Self-born bliss that is beyond the mind and body. The benefits of experiencing that state while awake are truly beyond description; it re-energizes you on the deepest level possible. Encountering your own higher Self truly is the greatest form of Self-empowerment”. Sri. Devidas, — “Yoga Nidra”

 

⚪ MiamiNetwork.org coordinates online guided meditations and small group sharing of Adyashanti’s practical guide-book, “The Way Of Liberation”. Additional holistic practices such as “empathic listening” related to Carl Rogers, Edwin Rutsch, Marshall Rosenberg’s NVC work, and ACIM are also fostered and encouraged. Participation is open to everyone and donations are not required for attendance and of course, they are always welcome for our sustainability.

 

⚪ Online meditations are scheduled here: https://empathymatters.org/now/contact/

 

⚪ Notes related to Adyashanti’s teachings: https://empathymatters.org/now/way-of-liberation-notes/

 

⚪ Introduction to NVC for your review: https://empathymatters.org/now/nvc-info/
