Practicing Metta meditation improves a person’s mind state and has lasting and profound emotional, physical, and spiritual benefits. Through scientific research, Metta meditation, or loving-kindness, has been shown to decrease migraines, chronic pain, and symptoms of depression and PTSD. It increases compassion and feelings of empathy, as well as decreases criticism of self and others. It can even positively affect the aging process and makes you more resilient to stress. Each session includes a guided loving-kindness meditation, short discussion on a mindful element of loving-kindness, a handout and time to ask questions. Join our co-facilitators Pema Antoniotti and Chris Lee-Thompson and be prepared for a lively discussion. In our fall 2018 series we plan to cover the following topics (order to be decided), and will often add topics as the sessions progress in order to take into account the group’s needs and interests. --Introduction to Loving Kindness --Science-based benefits of Loving Kindness --The brain and the heart --Aspects of Loving Kindness: Gentleness --Aspects of Loving Kindness: Working with the inner critic --Aspects of Loving Kindness: Not feeling inconvenienced by others --Loving Kindness and Compassion --Tips to prepare the body for meditation --A review of how to sit comfortably As Pema and Chris come from different faith backgrounds, they will offer these new topics during the series: --Loving Kindness and the Buddhist Sutras --Loving Kindness in Christianity --Interfaith perspectives on Loving Kindness This group is held online using Zoom. We ask that you register on our website at https://www.joyfulpath.org/event/loving-kindness-meditation-group/2018-12-05/ so that we can prepare the session appropriately and send you handouts when we use them in the class.

What we'll do --- weekly study group --- We are currently studying the book "Discipleship in the new age I" by Alice Bailey, please have your own copy. Meetings are via Zoom. Email ms-sydney@maitreyasangha.org to be sent an invited to the zoom link. --------------- LIGHT OF THE SOUL - The Science of Raja Yoga, or the "Kingly Science of the Soul," as laid down by its main exponent, Patanjali, will eventually find its greatest demonstration in the West. This is owing to the fact that—under cyclic law—the fifth root race (in its fifth subrace) must inevitably touch its highest point. That point, in the economy of the races, is seen exemplified in the right use of the mind and its utilisation by the soul for the achievement of group objectives and the development of group consciousness upon the physical plane. Hitherto the mind has either been prostituted to material ends or has been deified. Through the science of Raja Yoga, the mind will be known as the instrument of the soul and the means whereby the brain of the aspirant becomes illuminated and knowledge gained of those matters which concern the realm of the soul. * All are welcome and the group now consists of 5-10 regular members (most of whom are not meetup "members"). Weekly study every Wednesday 7:30-9:30pm. There is no fee, however donations are gratefully be accepted.
