Visit of Pat Ambrosic in Twin Cities
September 21-23, 2007
Pat Arrived at the Minneapolis Airport and was received and welcomed by Arlene, Tom and Arvind. That evening Ashwini and Arvind hosted a dinner for Pat, Arlene and Tom. We all shared with Pat how excited we are about the potential visit of Maharaj Ji next year. We all discussed the satsangs progress, areas of improvement and general on-going planning efforts. Pat stayed at Arlene and Tom's residence during her Minneapolis stay.
Saturday-September 22 - Workshop - Spiritual Diary:
On Saturday Pat conducted a workshop on the diary for initiates. During the workshop, Pat shared her experience with introspection, true meaning of the diary and how transforming use of the diary is for our spiritual growth. Everyone asked her questions on various sections of the diary and how to best make use of them for our maximum benefits. Pat listened to everyone and answered all questions in her familiar loving calmness.
Saturday-September 22 - Three Birthdays:
After the workshop we celebrated the three birthdays (Darshan Singh Ji Maharaj, Mata Harbhajan Kaur and Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj) by cutting a cake and enjoying a delicious pot luck. It was a great coincidence that the video we were running also showed a cake cutting by Maharaj Ji and Mata Rita Ji. At the end of program people stayed longer and shared their spiritual experiences not related to meditation.
Sunday-September 23 - Workshop - Improving your Meditation:
On Sunday Pat conducted a workshop for initiates, non-initiates and meditation class students. Pat explored the individual belief system behind our thoughts and how to modify our beliefs to change the negative thought patterns. She explained the importance of the introspection diary to monitor the negative thoughts, and emphasized that constant introspection would bring changes in our negative behavior and improve meditation. Participants provided a very positive response about her workshop in the feedback. An enthusiastic interest was also noticed in the meditation class that followed the workshop.
