Cultivating Positive Thinking - How to Transform your Life from the Inside Out

We will be exploring the nature and power of thoughts and the means to uplift one's life through developing mastery of thought. This program will be in Satsang format, and will consist of approximately 30% theory and 70% practice. 

Satsang is a Sanskrit term derived from two roots: sat meaning "true’"and sangha meaning community, company or association.

It can be translated as "associating with good people" or simply "being in the company of truth," and refers to the act of gathering with like-minded, uplifting people, especially those on a spiritual path.

Satsang may also refer to a group of people engaged in a spiritual dialogue. Although the term is generally used to highlight the importance of community on spiritual growth, by definition satsang can additionally be considered as a lone relationship with truth.

Satsang is associated with the inner quality of sattva (goodness or purity), which is one of the three gunas (natural attributes) alongside rajas (passion) and tamas (inactivity).

Sattva manifests as thoughtfulness, wisdom, contemplation and a peaceful demeanor. A sattvic person makes a natural satsangi, or "seeker of truth."
