Escape the Pleasure Trap
|
| by Gurudev
 Every passionate pursuit or attempt to gain the
glorious dream of happiness and pleasure turns into a trap when attraction to
that pleasure becomes dependency. If you are dependent on pleasure for your
happiness, then you are also always afraid of losing that pleasure. That is why there is no freedom from fear.
You can make as many changes as you want and be as clever as you want, but if
you're not clever enough to be free from fear, all your cleverness is
foolishness.
Whenever you try
to trap happiness and pleasure, what happens is that pleasure traps you. That's
because you want to control the pleasure. The moment you have a need to control
it, you are automatically controlled by it instead through the fear of losing
the pleasure you searched for so persistently.

| Quantum Breath Meditation and Yoga
|
| September 3 - 5 Shambhala Mountain Center Colorado
Come visit the sacred Shambhala Mountain Center
nestled in the beautiful mountains of Colorado just as the fall aspen leaves
begin to turn. Gurudev will teach Quantum Breath Meditation. 95% of those attending are able to enter and
experience the inner depth of meditation the very first time. You will have a unique opportunity to learn
meditation from an authority in yoga and meditation for the past 50 years. Regardless of what meditation practices you
are currently engaged in, you will discover a new approach that will allow you
to create a quantum leap. The most
powerful part of this unique meditative technique is that it helps you make a
quantum leap from time bound consciousness to a timeless state of being; from
the dimension of "doing in time" to the "timeless presence" that you are.
This powerful technique creates a shift from doing
meditation, to being in meditation. Only
when the "doer" who is practicing a meditation technique disappears into
meditation has the technique served its purpose. You enter the sacred dimension of meditation where
"doer" disappears in the doing, and subject disappears in the object. You enter the experience of oneness where
meditation happens.

Amrit Mala - using integrative intention to heal our conflicting
relationship with money.
Have you ever reflected
on how much of your time, energy and attention goes into either earning or
spending money? How about trying to save money? And what about all the
conflicting emotions, desires, worries and resentments that seem to revolve
around money? Have you ever experienced a relationship, business or personal,
that changed dramatically when the issue of money was introduced? Now here's a central question for everyone on
the planet: is the way you spend your money reflective of your deepest priorities
and your desire to serve your Higher Self? Or are you unconsciously allocating
the money that is flowing through your life toward things that are not serving
you, the people in your life, or the planet as a whole?
Money is a carrier of
intention. Amrit Mala is an opportunity to transform your relationship with
money by consciously allocating $1/day toward your integrative intention. You will be surprised at the power of this
simple commitment - and inspired to discover that you can afford to give $1/day to feed the vehicle for these teachings
that have fed and nourished you. Intention
is the shaping force of your reality. This has been investigated by seekers and
mystics for thousands of years and now is being proven by Western science. The most effective meditation technique is the
one we practice regularly. A daily commitment to your intention, symbolized by
your allocation of $1 a day, brings new strength and resolve to your yoga
practice, on and off the mat. In addition, each dollar coming to the Amrit Yoga
Institute is infused with the power of your intention, creating a
self-enhancing cycle of integration.
We have declared a desire
to complete our first Mala of 108 people by October of 2010. You are invited to
join and watch the power of integrative intention grow exponentially.
