Saturday, Feb. 16: Valentines For Saraswati Kirtan & Fire

 

Saturday, February 16, 2013

Valentines for Saraswati Kirtan & Fire Ceremony


Saraswati Sacred Fire 6 pm
If you live within commuting distance of central NJ, please join us for this very special event at my 
home studio near Princeton, NJ. Weather permitting, we’ll hold an outdoor Fire Ceremony. Since it gets rather cold as the night deepens, we’ll light the fire around 6 pm. This way, bhaktas among us can sit around the blaze, chanting mantras and making offerings without risk of frostbite...

Valentines for Saraswati Kirtan 8 pm
Suzin Green
w/ Dan Johnson, tabla
& Karttikeya, percussion

Pot Luck Supper will be served all evening.
Please bring something to add to the bounty.


Saraswati is traditionally celebrated at this time of year. Although “she” comes down to us through the Hindu Goddess Tradition, Saraswati belongs to all. Considered the origin of music and creative power of the arts, she is also the light of insight intelligence and eloquence -- and the rapture of aesthetic bliss. Along with these sublime aspects, Saraswati is the energetic root of truth from which knowledge and excellence spring.. This is an archetypal field we do well to cultivate.



This event will be held at my home studio in central NJ.

Private Sessions w/SG



Private sessions offer spiritual guidance and coaching that empowers the way you move through all aspects of life. The process enables you to be seen and heard on your own terms and develops the ability to stay present with whatever is arising. Sessions also include Eyes-Closed Work. This meditation-based practice fosters that sense of internal spaciousness from which all things are possible.

Private Sessions can help you: 


  • master listening and communication skills 
  • re-invent yourself in a rapidly changing world  
  • decipher the riddles of relationships, career, or calling 
  • ease the experience of living with illness or pain
  • neutralize harmful effects of stress
  • unravel emotional knots and harmful patterns 
  • open creative blocks
  • cultivate emotional intelligence
  • experience deep relaxation 
  • live with a stronger sense of grounding and stillness in daily life

Office hours in NYC and Princeton, NJ. 
Skype and Phone Sessions are also available.
If you have questions or would like to schedule a session, 
please email: suzingreen@gmail.com

Meditation & Chanting





The Monday Night Blog
w/Suzin Green
An Online Resource for Meditation, Chanting, 
and Cutting Edge Wisdom from the Ancient and the Sublime

The Monday Night Blog started as a place to collect wisdom text excerpts and sacred poetry I brought to my Monday Night Meditation Class at the Princeton Center for Yoga & Health. The blog's content slowly grew and I began adding audio clips of dharma talks, class chanting, and guided meditations. In this way it took on a life of its own, drawing visitors from all over the world. Thanks to the easy-access and interactive possibilities of the internet, the Monday Night Blog is now the gathering place for class. You can join anytime, any place. I look forward to meeting you here...

FAQs about Eyes-Closed Work w/SG



What is Eyes-Closed Work?  

As you rest in a comfortable position, I guide you into a relaxed state, conducive to self-discovery and inner vision. As memories, images, or physical sensations arise, a rich inner journey unfolds. You may “travel” to metaphorical places, re-enter a dream, meet previously unknown aspects of yourself, dialogue with totemic beings, explore roots of chronic illness or pain, re-frame memories, or rest in a state of stillness. The varieties of experience are endless. In my role as traveling companion, witness, and guide, I offer careful nurture, insightful counsel, and unconditional safety and support.


How will Eyes-Closed Work help me with
issues or concerns in my daily life?

Eyes-Closed Work develops greater clarity and presence, increasing your effectiveness in the world. Family relationships, workplace performance, community service, creativity — all benefit from this work. There is a paring down to your essential self, a simplifying that allows you to see life as it actually is. You become rooted in your personal power and live with more equanimity and joy.

How long is each session?

The ideal session runs approximately two hours. If you require a shorter time frame, 60- or 90-minute formats are available.

The Autumn Garden





I was recently walking in a perfectly manicured September garden. Summer blooms had been replaced by the more humble offerings of fall and the garden had a sparseness and simplicity that took my breath away. I've always loved the magnificent abundance of the Fall: the harvest, the foliage, the moon. This year though, I'm experiencing Fall through different eyes: autumn eyes. Eyes that seek out spaciousness and simplicity; eyes that find comfort in brown grass dying back down into the earth. There is a softness to the autumn garden I've not seen before. And a silence that roars in my heart.

The silence speaks its own special language, pulling me deep inside myself. Absorbing me in that inner sense of knowing. This listening to silence has a fierceness to it. It moves me into unexpected places, pushing me up against notions of who I am and why I'm here. It laughs at me too, testing my trust in myself. Am I willing to rest in the air of my being. Am I really okay with how fluid the ground I want so solid beneath me truly is. Can I sit still, can I wait, can I look and see what is, rather than what I want it to be.
