10:00 AM-11:30 AM IN SCIENCE 2.73 Awakening to the Oneness of All Things: Personal Transformation Leading to Unity Consciousness Part II
Ms. Leslie Temple-Thurston
In this second section of Leslie Temple-Thurston's program, she will explore practical techniques for awakening (meditation, samadhi and the reconciliation of opposites). Our world is a world of opposites and we are caught in the many dualities. For example: love and hate, war and peace, pain and pleasure, right and wrong, good and evil. By working to integrate the polarization's in the mind and the emotions, we will find the inherent unity of transcendent states. We will learn three simple techniques for balancing mind and emotions using the reconciliation of opposites. Leslie will give instruction on meditation and samadhi as ways of clearing past trauma, as well as a transmission to deepen your meditative practice. Ms. Leslie Temple-Thurston was born and raised in South Africa, and she currently lives and works in the United States. As a Western yogi, she teaches the principles of personal transformation and spiritual
awakening. She is author of the book The Marriage of Spirit, and is the founder of the non-profit organization CoreLight, which is dedicated to humanitarian service and to fostering world peace through developing personal inner peace
