Mindfulness Meditation

The Council of Solace is a special meditation where we gather to direct our spiritual energy to help bring about healing and peace to the world. Many people do this as part of a daily practice in service of others and find it to be a personally enriching experience that provides them with a sense of renewal. Please join us as we gather for a noontime meditation each weekday.

Co-creation Mondays are about reconnecting each of us with our own divinity and own inner creator, so we can live a more intentional life. That is exactly what we want. When we come together as a group, the energetic impact of this can magnify our intentions, and open us up to even greater inspiration for what we would like to have happen in life. These events are designed to allow for greater collaboration and connection within the conscious community and those adjacent to it while also empowering each individual to step more powerfully into their own life. No prior experience is needed for these events. Nor is any religious or spiritual affiliation, needed, though you will be guided based on what Chris has found to be true in his own studies of consciousness, spirituality, co-creation (sometimes called manifestation or law of attraction), various religions, and self improvement modalities. These events are currently by modest contribution (\~$15 is appreciated but bring or share as you can) to help support the space and keep a clean karmic energetic exchange. This is a karma-free event. There are also additional energy tools Chris uses to set the space before and after event, so that enhancement, inspiration, and alignment are what each participant walks away with. If this resonates, we hope to see you at an event soon! More people will be in attendance than on this RSVP. More than a dozen are at events. You will be in good company :) We begin on time. If you're running behind, quietly find an available seat if the meditation has begun. # **Agenda** #### **6:30pm: Doors Open** Arrive, grab a bottled water or sparkling water, meet others, and/or check out some of the books laid out related to metaphysics and intuition. #### **7pm: Intention-setting and Meditation** We start with brief introductions & intention setting then hop into a guided grounding meditation (about 12-15 min) #### **7:30pm: Intuitive Fun/Exploration** We will shift into a dynamic part of the evening when we do mini experiments in developing intuitive abilities. Previous times have included telekinesis, telepathy, energy healing, and practicing seeing/sensing the subtle energy body. #### **8pm: Social and Connection** Make new friends or enhance current relationships. This is a fun part of the evening where we can laugh and better know each other. Also a great time for inspiration and learning something new! #### **8:30pm: Parting Ways** At 8:30pm, we gather for a quick karma clearing exercise (takes 90 seconds) and then people head out. Sometimes people stick around a bit longer. Sometimes there's an invite to get food or go to another place. But it's a nice send off til we see each other again!

In-person meditation Every Saturday 10:30 AM Sahaja Yoga is a method of actualizing the pure state of meditation, through the awakening of our inner spiritual energy. This experience of inner spiritual awakening also called as self-realization leads to a profound state of silence, a state of “Thoughtless Awareness”, where the mind is silent, and you simply witness the present moment. Check our website for more info: https://austinsahajayoga.org/

Buddhist psychology teaches how to identify the habitual emotional habits that lead to unhappy states of mind. Simply noticing what your mind is doing can help you start to take control.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Here is the secret of being positive and free: Thinking positively is not enough. You also have to get rid of the negative thinking. Your mind is like a garden. You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden. A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed. You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there. So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out! The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
