	Learn Still-Mind Meditation: Eight Steps to Stillness 8 week course, $195 (inc GST) Sessions (by school term): Wednesday 19^th October, 2011 Morning (10.00am) and evening (6.30pm) classes available. For these sessions, you must be prepared to sit in still-mind meditation. No visualisation, imagery, ESP, visions or spirit guides, only Stillness!
	Meditation Evenings: Bliss Out No Charge Next Meditation Evenings: · Friday 16^th September, 2011. 7.00pm – 10.00 pm. A chance to sit for three hours in meditation. The real discipline of YOGA lies not in body movements, but in learning to observe the mind and getting out of the habit of identifying with the things the mind fancies. The route is through stillness meditation. You won’t know how good it is unless you try it!! Short breaks to stretch the muscles - and it’s ok to wriggle or adjust if you need to!! A light refreshment is offered afterward.
	Enquiry Groups: The other half of meditation – mindfulness of self The longer lasting benefits of Enquiry Group work come from persisting a while, till it becomes automatic to be truthful with ourselves. Therefore the booking time is 10 weeks. There will be some flexibility in how you take the 10 weeks – you can swap between times, or take leave if necessary. Enquiry Group The Enquiry Process brings the wisdom of a long lineage of Yogic wisdom into the personal experience of relationship and feeling. It was developed by Swami Shankarananda as the Shiva Process. With his encouragement, Swami Shantananda brings it to ACCY as the Enquiry Process, threading elements of her training in cognitive psychology into the process. I can’t stand those sorts of groups, they are so judgmental and self-righteous There is no judgment or advice giving in these groups, and we do not see them as therapy groups.  They are a practice of Yoga – being ok with what you are, how you are, when you are.   But that’s pretty uncommon.  Most of us are too busy trying to be what we’d like to be, or what we’d like others to think we are. It is recommended that you participate for several months or even for the long term, as short periods like a month really only touch the tip of the iceberg. What’s in it for me? Enquiry group work helps you find clarity and self-acceptance.  With that, you are likely to handle your situations with greater kindness to others, too. It is a means to mindfulness, a way to be in harmony with yourself. The process is not there to judge you for your faults, nor find a way to fix them, and it doesn’t provide advice. You do, however, discover something of, and shape, your inner state within these groups. “I’m still excited and delighted with the Enquiry groups.  The work is simple and sweet, and the number of people reporting shifts into clarity, or peace, or empowerment, is just astonishing.” – Swami Shantananda · Monday, 2010. 6.30 – 8.00pm · Tuesday, 2010. 11.30am – 1.00pm · Thursday, 2010. 8.00 – 9.30pm $135 for 10 weeks.

	Self Enquiry via Skype Mataji holds Self-Enquiry courses at the Australian College of Classical Yoga.  Based upon the Shiva Process, the Enquiry Process uses chakra investigation, cognitive psychology, Yogic development, and Mataji’s own innate wisdom to explore the self, the mind, and the heart.  Many times during our life – even during one day – we experience happiness, sadness, anger, jealously, envy, spite and joy, without understanding the source or underlying reasons for our emotions.  By investigating the reasons for our experiences, and learning to understand the root mental and emotive causes, we can develop a state that is simpler, sweeter, and calmer – and those around us may find us a little easier to live with as well! For those interested in Self-Enquiry but are unable to journey to Blackburn South, Mataji runs Skype-based sessions.  These are by appointment only!  If you are interested, contact Mataji or call The Australian College of Classical Yoga for more information.  Payment is accessible via PayPal from this site (below) but only if appointments have already been booked.. Session Time 1/2 hour $45.00 AUD 1 hour $75.00 AUD Only for confirmed appointment Contact the College for bookings or further information about the Enquiry Groups
