MEDITATION RETREAT
Integrating Yoga, Buddhism and Breath
with Christopher Baxter

June 11, 2006
Sunday, 9AM-5PM

6 hours Techniques

TUITION: $90

In both the Buddhist and Yogic traditions, meditation is they key to release our suffering and awaken our hidden potential for unlimited joy, compassion and kindness. In this retreat, we will explore a realm of meditation that is common to both traditions - the awareness of breathing. From the Buddhist tradition, the Anapanasati Sutra gives the Buddha's own instructions on how to use the breath to enter the realm of profound awareness. From the yogic tradition the multitude of pranayama techniques strengthen and heighten the awareness of the life force. Combined together the mix of Buddhist and Yogic

techniques provides an easily accessible yet wonderfully powerful method to bring us to our own true self. Although we will be primarily focused on direct experiences of the meditative state, when enhanced with a moderate amount of asana practice, the integrated experience of ourselves is one of relaxed energy, joyful and free.
