### 为什么练习霎哈嘉瑜伽？ 在繁忙的都市生活中，我们往往忽略了身、心、灵的健康。霎哈嘉瑜伽冥想恰恰是现代人的需求。它给予我们瑜伽，即天人合一的状态，通过精微能量来帮助我们恢复内在的平衡。这个修复是自然而然的。 这个力量是我们内在精微系统的一部分，其中还包括了七个能量中心和三条经脉。当我们处于平衡的状态，我们并不受过去或者未来的影响，也能处于无思无虑的状态。而这个力量在梵文中指的是“昆达里尼”。 “霎哈嘉”指的是自然而然，而“瑜伽”的意思是连接联合的状态。霎哈嘉瑜伽仅涉及冥想，并不涉及任何体位瑜伽。 我们的课程： 每逢星期四傍晚7点半 地点：AZ building, 140 Paya Lebar Road, #07-15 Singapore 409015 报名方式：请联系杨小姐（98564587)

In our world there are 4 universal elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water. These four powerful elements represent the forces of Nature and work in perfect harmony to nourish one another. These elements are a profound and essential part of who we are and our origin. The element of Air represents the transforming quality of lightly and allow us the possibility to change softly and actively. In this sound journey, release any energy you might have taken on in daily life that is not yours; such as any old beliefs, any patterns, and instead choose to focus on ‘Being true to yourself’. This meaningful session focuses on opening up your mind to the universe, to the possibility of connecting to energy vortexes and receive healing energy from the universe to yourself. *\*If you have your favourite crystals, we suggest you to bring them along with you and use them for support during the session.*

Columbus libraries: [https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3262835) Location: [Knotty Pine Brewing](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/) [Menu, scroll to the bottom](https://www.knottypinebrewing.net/menus-1) Book summary: Adunni is a fourteen-year-old Nigerian girl who knows what she wants: an education. This, her mother has told her, is the only way to get a "louding voice" -- the ability to speak for herself and decide her own future. But instead, Adunni's father sells her to be the third wife of a local man who is eager for her to bear him a son and heir. When Adunni runs away to the city, hoping to make a better life, she finds that the only other option before her is servitude to a wealthy family. As a yielding daughter, a subservient wife, and a powerless slave, Adunni is told, by words and deeds, that she is nothing. But while misfortunes might muffle her voice for a time, they cannot mute it. And when she realizes that she must stand up not only for herself, but for other girls, for the ones who came before her and were lost, and for the next girls, who will inevitably follow, she finds the resolve to speak, however she can--in a whisper, in song, in broken English--until she is heard

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Our March speakers are Molly Gaines and Zack Parrish, co-organizers of the Secular Education Association: They will share their story of how a small group of Ohio parents grew into a national organization tracking released-time religious instruction and other church–state issues in public schools. The presentation will cover SEA’s early wins and hard lessons, what we’re seeing nationally right now, and how local advocates can play a meaningful role in protecting public education. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the landscape — and practical ways to get involved. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.
