Step into Health - Paramjit Basra - Tuesday 8th April 2025 - Stanmore

We live in a world where something unexpected can happen at any moment and this leads to fear and uncertainty. It throws us off guard and brings up a well of feelings. So we learnt to protect our heart. When we realize what has happened to our heart, we can begin to let go and experience the pure peace and happiness of the real authentic heart. This will allow us to feel the beauty of the self and freer to enjoy life.

As much as we would like to move away from chaos, it seems that it keeps coming back in various forms to challenge our inner peace and the world! This is when clarity plays such an important role in restoring both our heart and head before we can act in accordance with our highest spiritual values. A simple receipt for maintaining inner peace!

From Chaos to Clarity - Tiding as a Path to Inner Peace - Eric Le Reste - Tuesday 8th July 2025 - Stanmore

When we place our sense of self value and self-respect on our job, relationships, health etc., it will fluctuate depending on those external factors. That in turn creates all the negative reactions of stress, anxiety, control and anger. Raja Yoga gives us the understanding that we each have intrinsic value. We don't have to prove ourselves. When we really experience that, it creates a deep stability and sense of self worth. In this talk, we will be looking at how we can create that sense of innate value.
