The Daily
Meditator: December 2003
God Is for Everyone
"The spinal energy flows in two directions: up, toward
the brain; and down, toward the base of the spine. When the
upward flow is the stronger, one's consciousness rises also
and produces a happy, positive outlook. Thus, an interrelationship
exists between the directional flow of energy and that of consciousness."
— from God Is
for Everyone |
Dear Meditator,
This month's
issue of the Daily Meditator contains an excerpt from God
is for Everyone, a book by Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda.
This selection is from the chapter titled "The Science of Religion",
and is a wonderful introduction to the principles on which the science
of Kriya Yoga—and all religious experience—is based.
In 2004, I will
be teaching two weekend meditation courses in Northern California
at Ananda's guest retreat, The Expanding Light. The dates of these
two weekend programs are January 23rd - 25th and May 6th - 9th.
These courses will give you the chance to deepen your practice and
understanding of meditation in a very inspiring and supportive atmosphere.
I am very much looking forward to meeting in person many of our
Daily Meditator subscribers. I hope you can come!
If you live
far from California, you might consider coming to Ananda for a longer
stay. Our guest retreat has programs on various spiritual topics
through out the year, and guests participate in daily yoga postures
and meditation sessions. If you wish, you can also take a personal
retreat in one of our beautiful forest cabins. To find out find
out more about the meditation programs and the Expanding Light guest
facility, go to:

Expanding Light Website

For those of
you who live in India, you will be happy to hear that Ananda has
recently founded an ashram in New Delhi. Swami Kriyananda is now
staying in India and will be soon giving classes and satsangs. You
can find out more by going to the new Ananda
India website.
