Oneness Blessing and Mediation With Kalyani

For more info contact Kalyani – 267 443 0390 kalyanima108@yahoo.com

"The Oneness Blessing or Deeksha is a gift of Divine Grace to reconnect or deepen our connection with the Divine within us in whatever way we experience it. This transfer of Divine Energy, over time, is designed to awaken you to your natural state of Oneness. Many experience a quieting of the mind and flowering of the heart. A change in perception of the world around us occurs. This allows you to live life more fully, to experience things as they are without the commentary and chatter of the mind. This significantly reduces the suffering in life. As you experience life as it is, and stop wishing it to be something else, a deep sense of peace and true happiness will dawn. Then true growth, progress, and an improvement in the quality of live can occur more easily. Don't take our word for it, come and experience it for yourself as hundreds in Philadelphia already have!"

Kalyani is Oneness Blessing facilitator (Deeksha giver).  She has been helping people in their personal and spiritual growth process for many years.  She is delighted to share the Blessing with you.

GIRISH

Dont miss this love filled evening of devotional chanting!

www.girishmusic.com

Girish is revolutionizing the world of chants with his funky, stirring style. He intelligently incorporates pop, jazz, and folk nuances into ancient Sanskrit mantras. His voice is well trained through years of studying Sanskrit and chanting for hours a day, year after year.

"I took mantras that are 10,000 years old and combined them with a musical style that makes the benefit of the mantras accessible and appealing to modern listeners," says Girish. But rather than translating the mantras, he kept the integrity of the Sanskrit sounds intact for a reason. "When you chant, the mantra acts as a portal to the presence of the deity whose name you're chanting. There's this whole energy field built up around a mantra that has been used for thousands of years and has this vortex of spiritual power built around it," he explains. "Sanskrit is the mother tongue of the English language and all of the romance languages."

For more info contact Victoria - breathing@victorialaddyoga.com

The harmonium is an amazing and wildly powerful instrument. Its vibrations have the power to raise the spirits of everyone in the room, especially the one playing it. Victoria has said that if her heart were an instrument, it would be a harmonium. Whether you're a yoga teacher or a harmonium lover, come see what it's all about. In this 2 hour workshop, we'll learn the basic mechanics of the instrument, discuss techniques on leading call and response style chanting, and we'll learn 6 mantras which you can play on your own or lead in a group. No previous experience necessary! Harmoniums will be provided, but bring yours if you have one!

Victoria first came to yoga while living in New York City. After each class, she began to notice that she felt lighter, happier, and stronger. She soon found that with a regular, devoted practice, she was better able to navigate the noisy, dirty commotion of city life- better able to see the natural beauty of the trees she had passed every day for years, but had never noticed were there. Soon after relocation to Philadelphia, she received her teaching certification through Wake Up Yoga. She absolutely loves teaching yoga, and cherishes the opportunity to share her love and curiosity for the practice with others. She feels honored to take the seat of teacher, and extends reverence and gratitude to all of her beloved teachers, and her teachers' teachers. When not teaching, Victoria enjoys living life, practicing yoga, playing her harmonium, and cooking.
