Create Inner Peace Through Expanded Awareness

Shift Happens: Introduction to Chopra Meditation is a five-class course that teaches Primordial Sound Meditation, a Chopra Center practice created by Dr. David Simon and Dr. Deepak Chopra. This powerful meditation style is a democratization of ancient truths, demystifying timeless Eastern and Western meditation traditions, making them easily and scientifically understood. This course demystifies ancient teachings, giving you a user-friendly meditation practice that’s applicable to today’s world.

A regular meditation practice builds total wellbeing by creating connections between body, mind, and soul. Just as physical exercise strengthens the body, and mental exercise strengthens the brain, meditation strengthens the spirit. A meditation practice also keeps us grounded and empowered in our everyday lives. Meditation helps us respond to, rather than react to events, circumstances, and other people. Learn how to co-create your life rather than feeling like a victim of it.

We all share a yearning to make meaningful and profound connections with ourselves and others. Primordial Sound Meditation creates expanded awareness, helping you to connect with your true self and to gain a sense of unity consciousness.

This course is a good fit if you are:

  • ready to create wholesome wellness and inner peace

  • looking for a sense of self-empowerment and sovereignty

  • wanting to mindfully make healthier choices

  • looking to expand your consciousness and spirituality

The best gift we can give ourselves and the world is our own personal and spiritual growth. Primordial Sound Meditation is a key to connecting to your true self–this course will show you how to use it.

In this course, you will benefit from

  • Five in-person classes that include, lecture, discussion, and meditation

  • Personalized attention and instruction (class size limited to four participants)

  • A personal mantra based on the time and place of your birth

  • Access to our on-demand library of Primordial Sound Meditations for five weeks

  • A handbook with worksheets and space to take notes

Exceeded expectations

I came to Meditation Bar for some assistance in meditation because I have a hard time focusing on meditating on my own. I was a bit nervous as the class I attended was 30 minutes. Tracy's voice was very soothing. The class exceeded my expectations and it definitely didn't feel like 30 minutes. I believe that is how it should be. I left Meditation Bar relaxed and with the ability to handle my tasks for the day with ease. I will be coming back.

Fantastic

Tracy is fantastic! After a rather tough week, I decided I could entertain the negative dialogue, or I could treat myself to some mindfulness and healing. The experience was from another realm of existence. I can't wait to go back! Sending Tracy positive and continuous vibrations!

Love flexibility

I feel like a 10 post meditation! I love how flexible it is to do from home.

Frequently asked questions

What is the format of Shift Happens: Soularize?

Soularize is a five week, in-person course offered at Meditation Bar. It includes class once a week, and recorded meditations for you to listen to in between class.

How much time do I need to complete the homework exercises? What will that look like?

That’s up to you. You’ll get the most out of the course if you spend some time in the week between classes journaling and completing the workbook. You’ll have a number of recorded meditations available to use as many times as you wish.

I’ve tried meditation before and I’m not very good at it. How do I know that this program will be different?

That’s OK! We hear this all of the time. This course will help you develop a practice and will give a better sense of what “being good at meditation” actually is.
