At this time of crisis and transition, there is a great need for spiritual energies that stimulate human evolution and development in the right direction. By practicing Transmission Meditation we transmit such energies, which nourish and transform our world for the better.It is a group service activity, in conscious co-operation with the Masters of Wisdom, for the creation of a pool of higher energy for the benefit of humanity and the planet.This activity is a combination of two yogas: Karma Yoga (yoga of service) and Laya Yoga (yoga of energies or chakras). It allows us to come into closer and stronger contact with our own spiritual nature and use that awareness in service to the world.No previous experience required. Not suitable for children below the age of 12/14.
