Rise, Shine, and Connect with your Inner Light of Awareness amongst friends during Morning Mouna Meditation. In Sanskrit, the word mouna (roughly translated) means “silence”. Mouna provides us the opportunity to simply watch; to assume the Seat of the SELF...and to observe the activity of the mind without getting involved in it's antics. When we simply observe our thoughts as the SEER...and how they activate our emotions and drive our behavior without getting involved as the participant in our story, eventually the ego mind settles a bit and something else very precious arises; a stillness and illumined awareness that reveals the very nature of the “ONENESS” in everything. As it was said by Sage Pantanjali in Sutras 2 and 3 "Yoga is to the still the fluctuations of the mind. Then, True Awareness can abide in it's natural state."

PLEASE NOTE:

1. Meditation is a practice open to all faiths, creeds and belief systems. ALL ARE WELCOME!
2. Doors open at 6:45am and the sit will begin promptly at 7:00am ( the front door will be locked just before the meditation begins )...sorry...no late admittance.
3. Please bring your own mat and anything else needed to be comfortable on the floor (blanket, bolster, meditation cushion etc). ***If you are not comfortable being on the floor and require a chair, please let us know in advance.***
4. Please kindly enter the Yoga shala respectfully honoring the virtue of silence and remain in silence until you have left the Yoga shala.
5. This is a silent/non-guided meditation/sit.
6. The meditation will begin with the ringing of the tingsha bells and will conclude with the ringing of the tingsha bells.
7. Please kindly refrain from leaving the Yoga shala prior the end of the meditation as it disrupts the concentration of the practitioners.
8. A cash donation of up to $5 is appreciated and will be put toward the cost of the Yoga Shala rental.

About the Instructor:

Carolyn has been a psychotherapist for over 20 years and felt a calling to become a certified TranscenDance™ facilitator the first time she learned about it. She has a deep understanding of how trauma and chronic stress impact the nervous system and the importance of mind-body practices to promote holistic wellness. She has always loved to dance but recalls feeling “not good enough” and “body shaming" that deterred her from continuing dance lessons as a child growing up in Niagara Falls. Carolyn is thrilled to share the joy of conscious dance with others in a heart-centred and welcoming space where everyone’s authentic dance is safe to be seen.
