There will be refreshments provided after class during our Sunday Social.

Increasing the Power of our Mind - Reality comes from Imagination

The mind is full of creative power.  Each day our mind creates a multitude of thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through a special type of meditation called Creative Yoga, we can learn to see beyond the limitations of our ordinary thinking into the extraordinary possibilities for our life. This series will show us how to use visualization and imagination to awaken and channel our creative energy into greater peace and happiness, and eventually, if we wish, to the perfection of our human qualities.
