Vajrayana

Hallo! Mein Name ist Michał und ich bin langjähriger Meditationspraktizierender und Bewusstseins-Coach. (Die Veranstaltung findet im GZ Heuried – Döltschiweg 130, 8055 Zürich statt. **Ich bitte um eine schriftliche Bestätigung deiner Teilnahme bei der Anmeldung.)** https://gz-zh.ch/gz-heuried/angebote/meditation-runterkommen/ In dieser geführten Meditation werden wir die Realität genau so beobachten, wie sie ist. Wir konzentrieren uns auf den Geist, den Körper und die Empfindungen im Körper. Die von mir geleitete Meditation ist in der Vipassana-Tradition verwurzelt und enthält Elemente der non-dualen Bewusstheit. Ich verwende keine Visualisierungen oder göttliche Bilder – sie ist so einfach wie möglich und meiner Erfahrung nach die effektivste Methode, die wahre Natur der Realität allmählich Tropfen für Tropfen zu erkennen. Diese Meditation ist für alle spirituellen oder religiösen Hintergründe offen. Der Abend besteht aus **einer Stunde Meditation**, gefolgt von **30 Minuten Fragen und Antworten**. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn du an diesem Abend teilnehmen würdest. **Gebühr – 20 CHF**. Wenn du finanzielle Schwierigkeiten hast, kontaktiere mich bitte, und wir können über andere Möglichkeiten sprechen.

Ergänzende Infos: Salsa! Kein anderer Tanz hat in den letzten Jahren eine derart steile Erfolgskurve aufs Parkett gelegt. Die Salsa weckt Sehnsüchte nach der Karibik und versprüht wahre Lebensfreude. Salsa wird paarweise getanzt. Ein Partner führt, der andere wird geführt. Bei uns werden hauptsächlich Kurse im kubanischen Stil unterrichtet, der Salsa Cubana, welcher seinen Ursprung in Kuba hat. Die kubanische Salsa wirkt eher spielerisch, rhythmisch und lebendig und setzt sich aus unterschiedlichen lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und Tänzen zusammen. Das wesentliche Merkmal des kubanischen Stils sind die Drehungen des Tanzpaares um einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt und das Kernstück des Salsa Cubana, die Rueda de Casino. Der Name Rueda rührt daher, dass alle beteiligten Paare einen Kreis bilden, wobei sie jeweils synchron die gleichen Figuren tanzen. Bedingt durch Partnerwechsel, die jeweils zu den getanzten Figuren gehören, dreht sich die Rueda bzw. das Rad. Der Kurs für blutige Anfänger oder für Leute, die sich mit den Basic-Elementen noch unsicher fühlen.

Während viele noch schlafen, kannst du bereits den stärksten Teil deines Tages beginnen. Diese kraftvolle Morning Session hilft dir, den Kreislauf zu aktivieren, Stress abzubauen und mit Klarheit, Energie und Fokus in die neue Woche zu starten. Eine dynamische Mischung aus Bewegung, Atmung und stärkenden Flows, die dich wach macht – körperlich und mental. Perfekt für alle, die montags nicht hinterherrennen, sondern bewusst vorausgehen möchten. ✨ Benefits: • mehr Energie am Morgen • besserer Fokus für die Woche • Kraft & Beweglichkeit • weniger Stress • starkes Mindset zum Wochenstart 📍 Yoga2Be Studio, Rötelstrasse 32, 8006 Zürich 🕕 Jeden Montag ⏰ 6:15 AM – 7:15 AM 💰 30,- or bring a friend and have both 5,- off [Save your spot here](https://eventfrog.ch/en/p/groups/stark-in-die-woche-power-yoga-montagmorgen-7453450485749523250.html) **Starte die Woche anders.

Dear All, This session is mainly for the people who want to learn kundalini yoga/meditation in a traditional way. Traditionally the master will transfer his/her kundalini energy to the student to activate his important chakras (energy centre) including Third Eye and Crown Chakra. The student can start to feel his/her Kundalini Energy is rising from their base of the spine and feeling the energy vibration(Consciousness) in the third eye (the space between the eyebrows) from the Kundalini Activation. This session is helpful for the beginners who want to learn simple yoga-meditation exercises also. This is a general session to experience your inner kundalini energy. But if you need proper kundalini activation(Shaktipat), then pre-registration is mandatory. **What is included in this session?** Simple stretching practices for Hip and Spine (not complicated, even beginners can do) Kundalini Breathing Techniques Sound Energy (Mantra) Meditation Energy Healing Techniques Formal Kundalini Activation (optional and only for pre-registered people) Chakra Meditation Yoga Nidra (Relaxation) **Some of the benefits of Kundalini Energy Activation are:** Keeps the body healthy Mind attains its natural peaceful state, so the meditation becomes easy. Breathing pattern will be harmonized Stress release and peace Clear & sharp intellect More intuition Inner happiness Clairvoyance and Clairvision and to the ultimate SELF realization (which will lead to the blissful state - our true state) with enough years of practise **DONATION BASIS** **About the Teacher who conducts this session:** The kundalini wisdom teacher Jayaprakash is practising kundalini yoga since 2005 under the guidance of Self Realized Indian Master "GuruMahan". He is teaching kundalini yoga since 2008 as part of a non-profit organization "Maha Shakthi Yogam Switzerland". He teaches Yoga/Meditation/Pranic Healing/Stress Relief courses in various places of Germany and Switzerland. He is the authorized kundalini yoga wisdom teacher from UPF(India) to give kundalini initiations (Shaktipat) with the Grace and Protection of his Master. All these events are conducted for non-profit purpose. Donations are collected on behalf of Swiss non-profit organization (Verein) "Maha Shakthi Yogam - Switzerland" **Eligibility:** Anyone can attend the session even if they don't have previous yoga/Meditation experiences. **Dress:** Wear a comfortable dress if possible yoga dress. We provide the yoga mat. **Please RSVP only you are really interested and coming ! Limited Seats !** **About Kundalini Shaktipat:** In every human being there is a source of natural energy that the yogis call the kundalini. In order to evolve in the yogic path, no matter what our path, the kundalini must be active. For most of us, the kundalini lies dormant at the bottom of the spine in the base chakra known as the Muladhar. When it awakens, it ascends through the chakras until it reaches the highest chakra, the Sahasrar. When that occurs, we merge with our True Self and attain SELF realization (our true nature). Shaktipat is the transfer of spiritual energy from the teacher to the student in order to awaken the kundalini. This process is compared to lighting one candle with another that is already lit and glowing. When the teacher is connected with the fully realized master and the energy is completely within his or her control, shaktipat initiation ensures that the student’s energy will remain active and stable. "Electricity is present everywhere, but there can be light only when the switch is turned on. Similarly the true master manifests the consciousness in the disciple through shaktipat.” **HAPPINESS is our TRUE Nature, which comes from within not from outside !**

Learn to manage stress and achieve self-growth through simple relaxation and Meditation. Heartfulness Meditation is a simple, modern, methodical approach to meditation. Rather than homing in on your breath or repeating a mantra, you simply focus inward, on your heart, to cultivate inner strength and serenity. Heartfulness meditation is gaining traction in recent years. It focuses on the heart, allowing individuals to connect with themselves on a deeper level, and ultimately achieve peace, relaxation, and clarity. It is a practice that encourages patience, self-compassion, and acceptance, helping cultivate a deeper appreciation for the present moment. This practice is offered with love and at no cost
