The Yoga of the Mind
by BK Denise Lawrence
Raja Yoga is the Yoga of the Mind. It brings evenness of mind. It strengthens your intelligence, refines your conscience and provides you with an endless source of inner power.
The inner self, the spark of life, the being of light within is not your body. Your mind operates between your soul and your body.
​
Inside your being is your Will – the power that leads your mind. Yoga means what your mind is connected to, and then, what you experience in your mind. Yoga with the Supreme Being enables you to experience peace, love, bliss within your mind. Otherwise, you experience physical sensations in your mind.
How do you practice Yoga of the Mind. You focus your mind upon itself, turning your attention within. Then you focus your mind towards the light beyond – the Source, the Force, the origin of all virtues and inner powers. You taste the sweetness of that peace and love, and draw it into yourself. You fill with that spiritual strength and become empowered to be your true self.

A film written by Innerspace Manila
The journey of the human spirit and how a change in consciousness turned our world around. We now live in a period of re-awakening and transition - a time to return to a true awareness about ourselves, back to our natural qualities of peace, love, joy, kindness - and reclaim our spiritual power. And in this journey, we are not alone. The Supreme, the source, the divine - God Himself - is available to bestow his knowledge and energy, empowering us to rediscover our original and the best version of ourselves.
God Consciousness: why it's essential in our life
by BK Rajni Daulatram
God means goodness, all the good qualities are in God. In my everyday life I need good qualities. Raja Yoga Meditation is the highest form of prayer where I think of the highest qualities of God and experience that quality in my relationship with others.
Whenever I have questions, I need to remember God who can provide me the answer. Whenever I have a problem, I think about God’s quality and I will get the solution.
God means goodness and in everyday life I must be good. What does it mean to be good? An example here is patience. Patience is a Godly goodness so if I do everything with patience, I bring God’s goodness in my life. When I use patience that means I use the quality of God, and I enjoy His positive energy in my life.
Another example is the quality of peace. God is the Bestower of Peace, the Giver of Peace and I'm also the child of God who is peaceful. When I listen and interact with others in a peaceful way and when I behave in a peaceful manner I contribute peace. Peace, which is a Godly quality, goes into my action.
So to connect with God is to bring goodness into my everyday life. God, then continues to give me new thoughts and new feelings when I sit in meditation - the highest form of prayer where we think of the qualities of God.

Silent Conversations with God: a meditation experience
"We've searched all our life for true love. All of us invest our hearts a lot in our relationships...we give everything. But there's a huge dilemma in human life and that is that no relationship is permanent, whether it's change, time, separation, death, the object of my love goes.
And this is why in this silent conversation we're exploring the one relationship that is permanent that is always there - the lover of the soul. In these conversations were going to reconnect with the lover of the soul and fill our mind, heart and conscience with that purity of silence."
In 2014, the Philippines was fortunate to have Brother Charlie provide a deep experience of sweet silent conversations with God. You can read the transcript here or watch the full video to follow the actual 45 minute experiential commentary.
