MEDITATION AFTERNOON
Will help them to connect with the inner-self and reduce the stress of modern lifeGET SOME INSPIRATION BY LOOKING BELOW,
AND SCROLL DOWN TO LEARN MORE FROM YOGA TEACHERS!
BEGINNING
PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERE
Create a beautiful environment, with a decorated room, burning incense, etc… At the beginning, you can help them relax by doing simple stretches, sitting comfortably or laying on mats and listening to the sound of Om, or the vibration of the singing bowl.
SASTRIC TOPICS
DEVOTION IS LOVE & THE PERFECTION OF YOGA
You can speak about the meaning and power of sound and the mantras, the difference between spiritual sound and material sound, etc…
We talk about love in different ways: attachment, lust, some about no strings… love is unconditional, so devotion is a little bit like that: sending your love to someone and you do not expect anything back from them.
TECHNIQUES
MANTRA MEDITATION
Then, you can guide them through a simple meditation: based on japa, on kirtan, mantras like Brahma Samhita or simple pranayama. Help them with their posture, their breathing, their pronunciation, their concentration. You can even invite them to dance. In an unconscious way their mind, which is usually spinning at 100 miles an hour, is suddenly calmed and stopped because they are focusing on the chant.
FOLLOW UP!
At the end, create a circle and ask them how the experience was for them. Try to generate a group feeling through comments and dialogues! Give them Prasadam. After the meeting, you can do a follow up and also share videos. If they have kids, you can have a room in your home for children to paint mandalas and play, do this together with someone you trust.

Mantra Meditation
THE MIND IS SUDDENLY CALMED AND STOPPED!
because they are focusing on the chant, but if we make them just sit still for so long, it is not going to happen. It is very hard for someone to just sit still suddenly. With mantra meditation everyone can get into chanting. Who does not listen to music?
regardless of who they are
DEVOTION IS LOVE
devotion is sending your love to someone and you do not expect anything back from them, you are doing it because you love them. You know you are doing it for the satisfaction that you feel by giving them love and not by “oh, if I give you a little bit of love, you are going to give me a little bit of love”.
