Free Sunday AMI MEDITATION
January 31, 2021 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am
IMPORTANT CLASS INFORMATION
The health and well-being of our AMI community is of the utmost importance. Out of an abundance of caution, AMI is taking a proactive approach regarding COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and will be streaming Sunday Meditation online only. We are monitoring the situation closely and following the guidelines from the Center of Disease Control (CDC) to reduce the spread of the virus.
Until further notice, no one will be permitted to attend in person. We have discovered that meeting virtually is extremely rewarding and has allowed participants from all over the country and even across oceans to join us. The connection between us is very strong during our time together.
WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR SUNDAY AMI MEDITATION AND SATSANG?
The schedule will be approximately:
9:30 – 9:35 Welcome and announcements
9:35 – 10:10 Guided meditation by Leonard (Ram Lev)
10:10 – 10:30 Leonard (Ram Lev) will share a reading
10:30 – 11:00 Satsang (a practical, interactive discussion led by Leonard (Ram Lev) and Jenness Perlmutter)
WHAT KIND OF MEDITATION DO YOU PRACTICE?
The seated meditation practiced at AMI is known as mantra meditation. You simply sit in a straight-back chair with your head, neck and trunk straight, or on the floor with your legs in a cross-legged yoga posture if that is more comfortable. You will be asked to close your eyes and concentrate your silent attention on any name of the Divine Reality that you are most familiar and comfortable with.
Do not worry if you have not been given a mantra from a qualified teacher; that is true for a large number of the participants. Here are some suggestions from different traditions:
- Jesus
- Lord Jesus Christ
- Ave Maria
- Barukh attah Adonai
- Allah
- Rama
- Om namaha Shivaya
- Om mani padme hum
The actual period for meditation begins with the sound of a bell. A reading and group discussion follow the meditation.
HOW SHOULD I DRESS FOR THE MEDITATION SESSION?
Loose, comfortable clothing is best.
IS THERE A CHARGE?
No, the Sunday AMI MEDITATION and satsang is free. When we met in person, we gratefully accepted donations. If you are so moved, you can always make an online donation here to AMI to support all our teaching classes, workshops and visiting speakers.
