Learn to watch thoughts with BK Raja Yoga sessions

BK

 

 

 

 

 

 

Brahma Kumaris Raja Yoga Meditation offers us many things, but spiritual power is the most important. It shows us how to choose happiness rather than sorrow, how to decide on victory rather than defeat. In this, the oldest form of meditation, we don’t attempt to empty our mind. We learn to watch our thoughts and gently direct and focus them.

 

 

Friday 2 to Sunday 4 May

The Power of the Mind

How often have you resented being told to ”˜mind your own business’, not realising it is probably the best advice ever. Only I can nurture, train and harness the power of my mind. It is the most valuable thing I have in life”¦isn’t it? Maureen shares that scientists are now helping us to understand the magic behind our meditation experiences.

Meditation for the World

Friendship

What the world needs today is for us all to experience a loving relationship of true friendship in our everyday lives. This will inspire everyone. The truth and love that exist in our friendships are there to give other people an understanding of the meaning of life. When we extend good wishes and pure feelings to everyone and see their innate goodness, any weaknesses they have are removed and their goodness can emerge. True feelings of friendship really do work in this way.

Defusing your Anger

Many situations in life trigger some form of the emotion of anger in us. This robs us of our peace and happiness and affects our vision of ourselves, others and the world in general. By becoming aware of the triggers for your ”˜anger’ reactions, you can empower yourself to defuse your anger and become an instrument for peace in the world.

Self ”“ Respect

The whole world seems to be distressed because people want to be given respect. But if you ask for respect, you can never receive it. There is only a little bit of respect in the world and a great deal of defamation. We may encounter praise, but only for a short while before we have to put up with more defamation. The key to gaining respect and finding happiness is honesty. Where there is honesty there is love, and where there is love there is also respect.
