Who We Are
Brahma Kumaris meditation center is the main center of the Brahma Kumaris in New England. It started back in 1984 and is managed entirely through a network of volunteers from many different professional and cultural backgrounds. They are the teachers and students of Raja Yoga.
The Meditation Center offers a reflective environment for all to enjoy a place to detach from the daily pressures of life, a place to re-energize the spirit and a place to learn about matters of the heart. It is a place where the mind opens to deep transformation and finds the key to living a peaceful, contented and happy life.
Spiritual practitioners come to the Center everyday in the early morning for their meditation and class. The place is open to the public for evening meditation from 7 to 7:30pm Monday through Friday. Raja yoga meditation and many other self development classes are offered every month. Private classes are also available on an as needed basis. All classes are offered free of charge and contributions are accepted. For more information about the events please check the calendar.

What We Do...

In a world filled with unrest, sorrow, anxiety and fear what is required most is to go within ourselves and find the strength to overcome these. Meditation is the journey inwards, a journey of self-discovery or, in fact, re-discovery. Meditation is time taken for quiet reflection and silence, away from the hustle and bustle of daily living. Taking time out enables us to come back to a centered place of being. In our modern world, the pace of life is growing ever faster and we are losing touch with our true inner peace and power. When we no longer feel grounded, we can experience ourselves pushed and pulled in many different directions. It is at this point that we start to experience stress and a feeling of being trapped. Gradually, over time, this feeling leads to illness and disease, as our mental, emotional and physical health is thrown out of balance.

Raja Yoga Meditation
|
Raja Yoga meditation is a form of meditation that is accessible to people of all backgrounds. It is a meditation without rituals or mantras and can be practised anywhere at any time. Raja Yoga meditation is practised with ‘open eyes', which makes this method of meditation versatile, simple and easy to practice. Meditation is a state of being in that place just beyond every day consciousness, which is where spiritual empowerment begins. Spiritual awareness gives us the power to choose good and positive thoughts over those which are negative and wasteful. We start to respond to situations, rather than just reacting to them. We begin to live with harmony, we create better and happier, healthier relationships and change our lives in a most positive way.

Food For Thought
|
Peace of mind is one goal of a spiritual practice. Regular meditation helps a lot by strengthening our own innate reservoir of peace. It helps us retreat from the stresses of life and recharge our battery, so we are full of peace to face the day. But what happens when we start interacting with others? Some of the biggest challenges....
