radiant heart anchored in the center of the body and radiating in all directions.

will include experiential sharing as the presenter (or facilitator) leads a short
meditation/visualization/imagining.
Dear Friends,
The February meeting
for "Connections" will be February 9th, Thursday, at 7 pm. Chris Haynes
has graciously volunteered to share his experience and lead this session. He will
focus on chakras, subtle energies and the associated mudras (see following description).
'Chris
Haynes will present an introduction to our subtle energy system from the perspective
of Yogic science, with emphasis on the principle chakras (energy centers) and
their relation to the five-fold division of subtle energy (pranas) and the five
elements. A sequence of 10 hand positions (mudras) will then be introduced that
are associated with these chakras, subtle energies, and elements, along with basics
of conscious breathing. Used regularly, these constitute a profound technique
for activating and purifying our bodies subtle energy system and deepening our
connection with our environment. This
provides an introduction to Datta Kriya Yoga, a distillation of ancient Yogic
wisdom by Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji, who has qualified Chris as an instructor.'
