YMSA - Meditation Kirtan Studio Suffolk Park Byron Bay - Meditation Evening, Vegetarian dinner


The most basic teaching of the yoga system is that a person is not the material body, or the mind, but the eternal spirit soul, residing only temporarily within the body.

“Where there is a material body there is also a spiritual body.”
 (1 Corinthians 15:44)                                    

"Know that which pervades the entire body is industructible. No one is able to destroy the imperishable self."
(B.G 2:17)
  • Just as the body needs food in order to survive and be satisfied, the soul also needs spiritual food in order to feel truly alive and happy.
  • Meditation is the activity of using the mind to deeply reflect and focus continuously on spiritual matters.
 Invitation:

Our family gets together about once a month, with a group of friends to practice a very enjoyable and easy to do meditation. This meditation involves the use of sacred mantras and is a very ancient method of meditation, based on scientific principles.
The natural outcome of this practice is peacefulness, serenity and the gradual awakening of spiritual insights. This is the perfect meditation for this age. 

A beautiful voice is not necessary for this practice, but we do encourage people to listen carefully to the mantra's and sing from their heart. We use musical instruments to support our meditations so if you play an instrument and would like to bring it along with you just let us know.

We would also like to invite you to share a simple but delicious vegetarian dinner with us. You are welcome to contribute a vegan or vegetarian food item if you feel so inclined. That would be most appreciated. You can contact us if you are not sure what to bring. On saying that, let me assure you that there is absolutely no pressure or necessity to bring anything apart from yourself. You - having your first meditation experience with us is what is most important.  

We Live In Suffolk Park:

We have a nice relaxing meditation place in Suffolk Park so you will be comfortable and we're pretty sure you will have a nice evening.

Suffolk Park is only 5 minutes from the centre of Byron Bay, offering visitors a more leisurely pace. Most of Byron Bay’s residents live in Suffolk Park which understandably creates a more laid back atmosphere and unhurried tranquility away from the typical touristy spots in the Byron town centre.

Our local area has a carefree charm about it. Sandwiched between the Cape Byron and Broken Head headlands, you will find the splendid Tallow’s beach surrounded by natural bushland, great surf breaks and unspoilt stretches of white sand and blue ocean. A perfect back drop for a leisurely stroll and a great spot to practice meditation.

If you are a visitor and are all "beached out", you can also take in the peacefulness of ‘Byron Bay’s secret tea tree lake’. This lake is a sacred and traditional site for the local indigenous Bundjalung women and a beautiful spot to visit and experience the therapeutic and refreshing waters. Nothing like a good soak in the lake followed by a little relaxing meditation to help counteract stress and unwind.
If you are in our area and would like to join us to learn more about this wonderful practice of  meditative kirtan we would like to invite you to contact us.
Leave a comment below and include your details. We will get back to you as soon as we can.

Namaste

Uke lessons for beginners - Palm Beach

Hi yoga meditation fans

We welcome you to Ukulele for beginners with JT Mondays 7pm. 

Here's a little uke trivia: 

The Hawaiian word “ukulele” comes from uku (a flea) and lele (to jump).

 According to dictionary.com it was originally a “nickname given to British army officer Edward Purvis, who popularized the instrument at the court of King Kalakaua, in reference to his lively playing style.” 

Another theory holds that the term comes from the nimbly flying fingers — “jumping fleas” — of an accomplished player of the Portuguese machete, an ancestor of the ukulele. We play coz it's just so easy and so much fun. Come along sometime and practice with us.

Namaste
