Winter 09 Course: Now Enrolling

PRESS RELEASE :: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Meditation Course Available Free of Charge!

Meditation is a proven approach to manage stress, gain inner peace and balance. A free meditation course in Spring 2009 at the Stautzenberger Health & Wellness Institute in Livonia, MI.

Livonia, MI April 13th 2009 – Free meditation classes are being offered at the Stautzenberger Health & Wellness Institute starting Winter 2009. The weekly evening classes will provide instruction in meditation, advice to sustain a balanced stress-free routine and everyday relaxation techniques.
Meditation workshops will be conducted by a group of local meditation teachers from Great Lakes Meditation which specializes in meditation outreach through free meditation workshops, seminars and courses. Each class will consist of meditation theory, practice and application. Skills to understand one’s own and other’s subtle system of chakras will be taught.

Meditation research has shown proven benefits through reduction in thinking processes, which results in a calming state of mind, often called thoughtless awareness. The teachers are experienced in providing relevant feedback to aide student progress and teach hands-on skills in energy work. This makes the course engaging, enjoyable and relevant. Benefits are tangible almost immediately as the techniques are easy practice and do not require strenuous poses, specific clothing or dietary needs.

The group of instructors have taught meditation & conducted demonstrations at various venues in South East Michigan, including high school courses in Ann Arbor. The vision is to empower individuals to be self-sufficient in sustaining inner balance and be value adding members of society in the future. For the knowledge to be accessible and sustainable an open source model is adopted where the meditation knowledge is understood and applied freely without the need to license the further use or patent the processes.

The weekly classes will open up new opportunities to learn meditation, meditate collectively and become skilled at maintaining balance in the inner energy system of chakras and channels. Learn all about the course offering at the open house on December 13th 2008, 10am – 4pm at the Stautzenberger Health & Wellness location in Livonia (www.sitoday.com).
