Guided Meditation: Who Owns Your Own Happiness? 

Come join this informal meditation session lead by the Edison chapter of the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization!

September's theme is happiness. As human beings, we tend to look outside for happiness but happiness is an innate quality which the soul owns and we can experience it all the time.

​Raja Yoga meditation is a form of meditation that is accessible to people of all backgrounds. It is a meditation without rituals or mantras and can be practiced anywhere at any time. Raja Yoga meditation is practiced with ‘open eyes', which makes this method of meditation versatile, simple and easy to practice.

The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization​ teaches Raja Yoga Meditation as a way of experiencing peace of mind and a positive approach to life. To learn more, please visit www.brahmakumaris.us.

No experience is necessary. Open to ages 18+. Registration is required.
