The Power of Mantra
Saturday, February 8
10 am - 2 pm
Mantra means ‘mind protection’. It is the supreme method to enhance the qualities of our body and mind. It can be used to help calm our mind by pacifying negative thoughts that give rise to suffering and it can also be used to go deeper and connect with enlightened power.
On this course Rob Lutz will explain the meaning of mantra, how it functions and the profound benefits of mantra recitation. This is a simple and powerful method to attain a calm, controlled and positive mind and creates special causes to experience the supreme inner peace of our enlightened mind.
