NSA/NC Salon (Mini Meeting)

Meditation, Creativity and the Power of Mantra

presented by Dada Nabhaniilananda, aka The Monk Dude

Sunday, May 18, 2014

2:00 -- 4:30 p.m.

Please arrive by 1:30 and enjoy some refreshments so we can start on time!

Meditation has many benefits. Among them is enhancing creativity and giving us more ready access to our mysterious inner source of ideas. In this presentation we will discuss how this process works and how best to avoid the pitfalls of mental instability suffered by many creative people. You will learn a technique of mantra meditation that will increase your emotional self awareness and balance and help you to connect to your inner source of love, creativity and wisdom.

In the second part of the session, we will practice a collective mantra singing exercises called The Heart Circle. This is pretty much guaranteed to give you an immediate, first hand experience of the bliss of spiritual meditation.

Dada Nabhaniilananda, aka The Monk Dude, is a yoga monk, a meditation teacher, a musician and author. Originally from New Zealand, he was ordained in India in 1979.
