Fr. Joe and Sr. Archana, come from the Atmadarshan Centre
in Patna, India to offer these days of holistic awareness
of one's own person as body, mind and spirit using yoga, Vipassana,
meditation therapies blending Eastern and Western wisdom to
bring healing and relaxation.
AMR (Awareness Meditative Relaxation) is a process of awareness
meditation to bring about relaxation in the human person as
body, mind, and spirit, for healing, empowerment, and spiritual
integration. AMR Workshop utilizes the insights of Yoga, Vipassana,
Meditation Therapies, Healing Procedures, Counselling, Psychotherapy,
and Eastern and Western Methods of Prayer. These experiences
will bring about greater peace and harmony in the entire human
person.
A Way to Love, Peace, and Joy
The root cause of all human problems is lack of experience
of love. Where there is no love, darkness of fear reigns. Fear
often turns into anger or sadness in the human heart. The result
is that we live in the darkness of our ego enveloped by fear,
anger, and sadness. This ego blocks radiance of love shining
at the core of our being. AMR helps us to penetrate the darkness
of our ego blocking the radiance of love. In this process fear
is turned into love; anger is turned into peace; and sadness
is turned into joy.
The basic insight of Awareness Meditative Relaxation Therapy
is that awareness of the rising and falling of the stressful
sensations in the body brings about therapeutic healing.
Awareness Meditative Relaxation is a unique experience to
bring about harmony in the human person.
