Learn to Meditate
The Path of Kriya Yoga (Level 1)
Starts on Sunday, 23 March 2025, 11:15 am - 2:30 pm
Paramhansa Yogananda wrote, “Meditation is the highest form of activity a person can perform.” It is one of the most natural and rewarding of all human activities. It gives a direct, intuitive experience of higher consciousness, and is the cornerstone of deep spirituality. It also brings balance, rest, and growing inner peace.
This course is open to anyone who wishes to learn to meditate, regardless of religious or spiritual background. Whether or not you are new to meditation, these lessons can help you establish and develop a deep, consistent practice and help awaken within the peace, joy, and divine love that are a part of your true nature. It’s step one out of four on the Path of Kriya Yoga but can be done also as a standalone course.
