Welcome! 
This page is for the Friday meditation group.
During our meetings we do a variety of meditations from different traditions, as well as various Sufi practices, breathed, spoken, or chanted: the Beautiful Names, breathing exercises, visual concentration, zikr.
We explore what capabilities we, as humans, have that would allow us to reach for the Reality. Can we, somehow, use our embodied beingness for just that, or should we aim to be released from the grip of the physicality in order to obtain the true freedom?
Cleaning up and connecting with the Source is, essentially, all we need to return back to the *real ourselves.* So that is what we are doing in these sessions — letting go, clearing all our “stuff,” and connecting, connecting…

The state of our chakras determines not only how healthy we are, but also how happy we are, how open, how connected, how ready to go for our dreams… even whether we are able to have those dreams at all! That is why it is so important to keep them in the best possible light – metaphorically and literally. Here we do a long process* of tuning, adjusting, clearing our chakras.
You can pause the recording at any point, but please be aware that it is necessary to complete the whole cycle for the results to be sustainable. AND, it is a good idea to do this daily ))) (don’t worry, it gets faster over time!)
