***UPDATE**** if this meetup is full and it looks like it will be, call me or come anyway....theres plenty of floor space if we run out of chairs!*******

The topic for our next Meetup is POSITIVE THINKING. There will be a speaker from the Brahma Kumaris Raja Yoga Meditation world organization. They offer free lessons, seminars and retreats on different topics as a community service. This mini-course ( due to time frame) is a precursor to yoga meditation.
Their website is www.bkdallas.org Some of their teachings include how to meditate for peace of mind and inner strength, to make your mind your best friend, to lead a stress-free life, to develop positive values, to be free from negative emotions like anger, worries and fear.
Please give me some feedback after the meetup or email me if you are interested in doing a weekend retreat with this group. The retreat will be the complete teaching of Positive Thinking.

Below is an excerpt from their website:

POSITIVE THINKING- workshop
The energy of the human mind is thought, the greatest but least understood energy. During this workshop, individuals journey into the mind to identify thought patterns and their consequences over time. Models and methods are discussed which provide direction on how the mind can work in a more productive and beneficial way

Raja Yoga meditation
Try to experience the stillness of mind of being a peaceful soul as other thoughts emerge in the mind do not judge or focus on them but repeat ............ I am a peaceful soul ............. I am a peaceful soul ............ My mind is filled with peace .............. I radiate peace to the world ............... I feel the gentle waves of peace flowing across my mind ........... As these peaceful thoughts emerge in my mind I feel the stillness and silence envelopes my mind ................. I am the peaceful soul ...... I am a peaceful loving soul ............ My mind feels light and free from worries ........... I realize my real nature is peace .......... Peaceful thoughts flow through the mind and I feel the self becoming light ...................... I am a being of light shining like a star ....................... I radiate peace and light to the world ...................... The light and peace envelopes me and the waves of peace and light shine like a lighthouse............................................. This is the wonderful journey of self discovery.

Raja Yoga Meditation philosophy

The basis for attaining an experience in raja yoga meditation in to understand the self and the mind. The human mind is the most creative, powerful and wonderful "instrument" we possess. Using this energy called mind we have been able to search the deepest oceans, send humans to the moon and scan the molecular fabric of the building blocks of nature. But have we found our true self? We have become the most educated and civilized society in our history, but are we civil towards each other?

The soul has three main faculties; the mind or consciousness, the intellect and the subconscious.

Thoughts flow from the sub conscious mind to the conscious mind. Feelings and emotions form in accordance with the montage of thoughts flowing in the mind. Therefore our state of mind at any given moment is determined by the thoughts in our consciousness, and also with the feelings that we associate with those thoughts. Since our sub consciousness contains all our previous thoughts and experiences, it is necessary to selectively control the flow of thoughts that emerges from the sub conscious mind.

The intellect is the controller which is used to discriminate so that only positive and benevolent thoughts flow into our mind. With meditation or deep contemplation, the individual is able to strengthen and sharpen the intellect. The end result is a constant state of well being. If we are able to understand the self as the source of energy that creates our feelings, then the following will become our aims.

Become aware of our state of mind and of the thoughts that flows into the mind from our subconscious.
Strengthen the intellect so that the individual can discriminate and thereby only allow positive and peaceful thoughts to flow into the mind.
Through this process of self development the individual develops more control over the mind.

These meditations have been taken from the knowledge as taught by the Brahma Kumaris Raja Yoga meditation organization. Raja Yoga meditation organization .
