Kriya's

Deep work is often accompanied by a profound growth movement. Several people have shared with us that they have had intense emotional and/or physical experiences during and after retreats. These kinds of healing events, sometimes distinctly unpleasant, are called kriyas. Kriyas, both pleasant and unpleasant, are actually experiences we should come to expect as we continue to explore the deeper realms. Even the unpleasant ones are part of a process of helpful growth.
Kriya is a Hindu term for a natural, spontaneous, and often unexpected movement of energy, either physical or emotional, often quite intense, which is deeply healing. It means energy is moving and at work at ever deeper levels. Of course, not everyone will experience their growth in this way, but, you may. If so, playfully, with love, remember to male or female ground, explode the pictures that get lit up (address cords, contracts, whatever seems appropriate) update your 3rd chakra, and embrace a graceful flow and self acceptance.

Love,
John and Gloria

 

 

 Seven Planes of Consciousness Teleconference
with John Friedlander

 

Exciting News! Seven Planes Class Recording Available!

Announcing a change of policy.  People are invited to listen to the cd's as often as they wish. They will help keep our energy clear of one another if they are scrupulous about letting my energy come to them. Jumping into my space to get the info is bad for them and for me, but letting the info go to them, and then sending back any that gets stuck is great.

The cost for the CD's of the Seven Planes class will be:

$35 plus $10 shipping and handling
If you'd like to order the class, please send a check for the amount together with your mailing and email address to me at:

John Friedlander
7026 Suncrest Drive
Saline, MI 48176

Love, John

Workshop Description

This class will explain and teach you how to find the 49 specific energies of the seven planes, each with seven sub-planes, as described in the Theosophical literature of the early 1900s.  The Theosophical writers brilliantly described the whole scope of human potential; synthesizing eastern, western and channeled material in a relatively easy to understand schema of the 49 sub-planes. While their descriptions were rich; at the time, there was no systematic training one could follow to turn the theory of the 7 planes into an accurate awareness of these energies. We are unaware of any other place where one can learn systematically how to find these specific energies. In this class John will explain and channel each of the energies several times, allowing the participants to understand the concepts, and more importantly, to match and identify for themselves each of the energies of the planes and sub-planes. The very specificity of the Theosophical description of the mystical universe allows otherwise fuzzy and unstandardized concepts like soul and spirit to be encountered with accuracy and skill.  Finding these energies adds powerful tools for healing and growth.
John expects also to teach students to perceive the various spiritual bodies as the early 20th century Theosophist clairvoyants did, a vision quite unlike any of the psychics today of whom we are aware. Beginning around the 1960s, it seems a more emotionally centered perception became the psychic norm for people not trained before that time. The new perceptual style served the necessary purpose of centering the spiritual practice of perception on the encounters of every day life.  Revisiting now the perceptual style of the older Theosophists will add a depth and power to the more modern and emotionally authentic path that is the norm today.
Large parts of the class will be channeled and by basking in the channeled energy, both conscious and uncounscious changes are made that open us to respond more resourcefully to events in the present and prepare us to understand advanced topics in the future. Those who come can expect quite a ride, with multiple benefits in many planes.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

We each have a bubble of spiritual energy surrounding us called the aura.

These techniques help us find our own psychic energy, clear blockages and repair our chakras and aura. This is a basic class in John Friedlander's system.

Workshop Description

The ability to hold a steady focus is central to accomplishing more powerful transformations such as opening clairvoyance and changing our bodies through etheric energy. We began exploring how to hold a steady focus last year. Even though last year's focused meditation seminar produced powerful breakthroughs for many people, this year's is radically changed to integrate what John's learned with a year's experience.

The core tools we use will grow less out of will power and more out of the fundamental process of creating our reality. We will get better at relaxing and calming, and better at holding a focus; while increasing our skill and understanding of the creative process itself.

Try out this new registration system with us!
We're experimenting with a new online registration system for workshops and classes. We're hoping it not only simplifies registration on our end, but helps provide you with a more convenient and streamlined method of learning about and registering for upcoming classes.
You can click on the link below to go to the registration page where you can tell us you're coming or will be attending by phone. As you recall, we can't accept money at the Lodge so please mail your deposit or full tuition.
We'll try this for a few classes and workshops to give it a good trial. Let me know what you think.
Sincerely,

Workshop Description
In "Etheric & Magic" we'll focus on balancing energy flows through the etheric to improve health and our ability to focus.
We will be adapting yogic breathing exercises to clairvoyant practice and balancing out the energies of various planes.
Through these practices we will learn to generate the kind of power and focus that will allow us to work more magically with form and manifestation.

October 7-Day Intensive 2010
With John Friedlander
in Cincinnati
Oct 25-31

 
     Twice a year we gather for an advanced meditation session, using the luxury of dedicated time and group energy to leap forward in our psychic and spiritual life. The format of these sessions is spontaneous and largely channeled. In the seven day Fall sessions we concentrate on one chakra a day. This allows us to get to deep levels of each chakra. These deep levels of the chakras contain unobstructed trance levels from which we can access various perceptual and healing powers. Used wisely, these new abilities become powerful tools to clear one's aura and to engage everyday life with skill, compassion, creativity and joy.
 
Prerequisite: Level I or instructor's permission
Suggested Reading: Harish Johari's. "Chakras: Energy Centers of Transformation"
 

Terwilliger Lodge in Dulles Park
(Community of Montgomery)
10530 Deerfield Road
Cincinnati OH 45242
