A Renewed Sense Of Self

Sat 6th March 2 - 5.30pm
with Ishwara Kaur in Brighton

Our Sense of Self is based on beliefs and experiences from the past which prevent us from living in the present. When we begin to explore who and what we really are, we find many false beliefs. As we begin to connect with our True Self, then the false beliefs that sustain our identity begin to fall away. This is a gradual process of exploring and understanding ourselves at deeper and deeper levels, bringing joy and spontaneity into our lives.

During this Kundalini Yoga workshop we will explore what it means to have a Sense of Self as something separate from our identity. We will reflect on our existing identities in order to recognise some of our false beliefs. Through the practise of kriyas and meditation you will be encouraged to release these false beliefs, creating space to receive insights and experiences of your True Sense of Self.

Cost: £25 (£20 concessions). Call or email Ishwara to book your place now: 07980 928 386, ishwarak@hotmail.co.uk. For more info see www.anahata.org.uk.
