Meditation Master Class

EXPERIENCES FROM MASTER CLASS



CYPRUS – MASTERCLASS 2011


The 6th meeting of Masterclass organized this year in Cyprus by Conny Larsson, my meditation and mantra teacher, made me feel delighted and I still feel like that since my return. I feel magnificently with it and sometimes I ask myself if it is normal to enjoy every second of my life whereas most of people keep complaining all the time on everything.

Today I know that every single person was born to enjoy his life not to complain and suffer. I found it out when I was 50 and my life and health were a total ruin. I was searching for solution to recover from a crisis and trying to find my own destination and place. I was fortunate, because at that time I encountered Conny Larson, who taught me meditation and mantra. I will never forget his words to me: “ Ania, it is easy, just sit and meditate. Mantra will lead you to the place where you can find the silence and everything you need”. It was hard for me to believe in it but I placed my trust in Conny and I meditated. I went through all mantras – keys and they led me to the source of the silence and elicited my present state of mind, which I would not turn into anything else.

This year’s meeting was led under the banner of “silence, unity and love” and we were able to feel it every single day during lectures, meetings and meditations. Although 50 people were gathered in one room still the silence and unity reigned. Everybody had an opportunity to present his program, share his knowledge without imposing anything on others. Every day we had a pleasure to listen to Conny Larson’s wonderful lectures enclosing messages concerning our times. He appealed to us to find our own positions, get strengthen in it, apply appropriate means and measures, use our potential and implement his program. He gave us three powerful mantras – keys to help us to accomplish our programs and guide us through our times to the new reality. I was very pleased to be accompanied by Małgosia, Jola, Agnieszka, Beata and Wojtek. We were able to learn and feel those strong emotions, support each other, discuss and rest together. It was amazing time.

Today my physical body is a source of information for me which I use in my ordinary life. The keen intuition I gained thanks to meditation guides me and helps to discover new arcane and to enjoy it. Sixteen years of intensive work to straighten my bones with asanas of hatha yoga jointly with meditating with mantra calmed down my mind. What is more, I became fond of myself and my body, which tells me now what I should or what I shouldn’t do. Today I am able to enjoy every moment of my life whatever is happening. Nobody and nothing is able to make me feel bad. The harmony I was looking for all my life is now inside my heart and I know it will stay there forever. The silence and inertness during meditation are awards for me for my hard work and determination in search of the source of divinity inside my body. This is the source of my strength, power and wisdom, which I share with people and make a use of during my every day activities. Everything I say and do is a part of this divine silence. I feel it clearly, hand it over and spread it around me on others and on the whole universe, whereas the cosmos sends me people, measures and means which I need and which help me to enhance and perfect what I do. Today I am not afraid of anything, make brave decisions, because I know that I will be supported by the divine source that I am in contact with. From the bottom of my heart I am grateful to my first teachers: Dr Maria Stróżyk and Conny Larson for the indication of the way to the divine source.

MASTERCLASS CYPRUS 2010


Masterclass 2010 was continuation of last year’s divine play in which all participants took part in line with cosmic order. The leading theme was sharing and learning how to remove ignorance from everyday life. Each day brought everyone surprising solutions and clearly indicated where they are and what role they had been given in that divine play. Conny Larsson perfectly arranged and led those meetings. His sharing, full of profound meaning, gave the participants ready-made answers to their questions and advice as to how to act to enjoy life and take on greater and more responsible roles.

Each of us is responsible for our life which we create every day. If we follow the cosmic order, we will not suffer and will be able to enjoy life. We will know by the results if we are going in the right direction. Wrong direction is marked by illnesses and suffering. Following our programme we always have to remember key principles – values, such as truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence. One value arises from another. Truth comes from the kernel of existence itself, i.e. from the source of love where everything has its beginning. Throughout life we should always say and spread the truth. We have to be honest to ourselves and others. Even the worst, painful truth arising from love is better from that which is pretended and better than concealment in the name of the so called good. Every action, every lie comes back in the form of karma and causes suffering.

During mantra meditation we feel the closeness of God, who helps us cut through all the layers of ignorance and get through to the source of love, where everything already is available. Mantras lead us peacefully and safely to that source, from where action is simple and easy. When we get through to the source, we immerse in silence and clearly hear the voice of God, in the form of our intuition, which tells us what is good or bad, what we should and should not do. All the time mantras take care of us and let us know if we are going in the right direction. When you are with the mantra, the mantra is with you and lets you know when you want to do something stupid for which you will have to pay one day. I feel it clearly, enjoy it and I am certain that mantras play the role of my teacher and lead me in a good direction.

During this year’s Masterclass I experienced joy every day. I was happy to have with me there teachers from my Centre – Jola, Agnieszka and Kasia and that we could all together participate in meetings with spiritually advanced people. We learned a lot of interesting things and we shared our emotions arising from that process. Jola, my great translator of English, helped me, as usual, understand everything in every single detail, and I could express what I felt and share my knowledge with others. Every day gave me confirmation that the “direction of yoga” I adopted 15 years ago was embedded in my divine programme, which I have been following every day in line with divine order.

During Masterclass I felt as if I had come to Cyprus to accept the greatest reward or play the leading role. My joy is enormous. I am happy with everything around me. I feel divine care and I am not afraid of anything. I have wonderful, devoted people around me with whom I work and I keep walking on without looking back. My heart is filled with gratitude, especially to my first teachers who showed me this path and who - when things got rough – supported me and assured me that the direction was good. I will never forget dr Maria Stró?yk, who taught me for 10 years how to straighten my crooked physical body through yogic asanas. Her determination in maintaining order and discipline in everything you do, has stayed with me forever. That is why I can enjoy today my body, health and life. Conny Larsson, on the other hand, is a teacher specialising in broken hearts and lost souls. Like nobody else, he can motivate everyone to act and brings out the best in them. He has been and still is the engine behind my actions. I know today how important it is to have a healthy and strong physical body to experience joy arising from discovery of one’s spirituality. I was fortunate to have met them both on the path of my life.

REPORT FROM THE 4TH INTERNATIONAL MASTER CLASS 2009

During 2 weeks of October 2009 teachers from many parts of the world assembled at the yearly Master Class meeting at Top Set Hotel in Northern Cyprus. The theme of this year's Master Class was transformation. Earlier Master Classes have worked to create a unified field state of consciousness amongst participants and teachers. Having established a firm foundation of cooperation in knowledge, we were able to initiate a step by step transformative process that had its basis in ancient Vedic traditions.

On the first day of the Master Class the group experienced a Shaman Journey to ask for power for this year's Master Class process.

From day two the program started every morning with the chanting of 21 Aums followed by a Puja from the Shankaracharya tradition. We then formed different constellations within the circle in order to represent or hold energies that needed to be healed, both individually and on a global basis.

Persons in the outer circle had a triple function: 1) as protectors 2) as transmitters of energy 3) as receivers of energy. We all then meditated using specific mantras for specific purposes. The individuals placed on the inside of the circle were thereby able to establish a powerful contact with their higher selves for the purpose of healing thanks to the unified field created by the meditating outer circle.

Each morning of the transformation process we worked on a specific theme:

Day one - Upplifting of the male and female dharma for couples.

Day two - 4 ladies living on Cyprus representing 4 different but complementary energies were placed in the middle to be strengthened and to be entrusted with their respective spiritual positions on the island.

Day three - In the middle was a 7 person star formation, each person representing one chakra of the human nervous system, with the 8th person focused in the center in order to purify the unbalanced chakra within each individual. The 8th person in the center acted as a transformer in order to assist the other individuals to be able to let go of imbalances and receive energies from their higher selves.

Day four - Two senior teachers from two different spiritual traditions were placed in the center, one a man, the other a woman. Each one represented the higher male and female aspects of their lineage. As the outer circle meditated, the inner couple was able to once again act as transmitters, creating a balanced male and female energy for the whole Master Class process.

Day five - Persons who had been victimized by various circumstances in life were placed within the circle for a special healing process. In the center one of the male teachers was placed in order to receive and then transform these patterns.

Day six - Four women were placed in the inner circle, of which 3 ladies were dressed in purple (a seeming coincidence) and one was dressed in white. The three ladies represented the 3 qualities of the relative: Creative, Upholding, and Purifying (Sattva, Rajas och Tamas.) The fourth lady was acting as the pathfinder for the other three.

Day seven - The Master Class was guided by the lady in white (a dowser by profession) on a walk through the mountains to certain sacred places. During the walk the 3 ladies in purple were guided by the dowser to a specific stone formation called the "Hand of God" where we discovered 3 small, delicate, purple flowers growing within the formation of the hand.

Day eight - Each participant was given the opportunity to ask a specific personal question answered by a teacher in tune with the level of Ritam Bara Pra Raghya - or the Akashic record.

Day nine - This was a process for those persons who had reached the Vedic Age, in hindu tradition 55 years and over. They were placed within the circle, facing the outer circle. The meditation of the younger persons in the outer circle energized the elders in order to enable them to move forward and merge with the higher purpose of their final years.

Day ten - The holder of the Shankaracharya Tradition inspired by the knowledge of the first Rishi of the Vedas and the person responsible for transmitting the blueprint for the transformation process was then put in the center of the circle. The persons in the outer ring meditated for him thereby recharging and giving back the energy that had been given out during the Master Class transformation process.

The very last exercise was a concluding Shaman Drum Journey for the purpose of assimilating the healing received during the October class process.

To summarize the October 2009 Master Class transformation process, we can return to the rainbow colored umbrella we mentioned in this year's invitation. The work done each day represented one of the rainbow colours of the chakras within the human nervous system, starting with the red of the root chakra and concluding with the eighth (the aura field) and ninth chakra (representing the universal love light of the divine creator). Afterwards it became evident that this process was preparation for next year's Master Class theme, the year of initiation.




Dear Conny, dear Judith,

first of all Thank you for your very hard work before the Masterclass starts and the work during our fantastic beeing together this year.

It took me a while to know what I will write you because I couldn´t find any words. So I will start in 2007:

After our masterclass in 2007 I was so deeply touched. Everything made me crying- the birds in our garden, the beautifull trees, the clouds in the sky..... everything was so beautiful and wonderful.

In 2008 after my masterclass I felt settled. We had much trouble outside but that trouble didn´t touch me inside. The situations were same, problems were same, people were same but I didn´t feel attacked anymore.

Now- the world seems to be changed - not me the world around me ! Suddenly there is no trouble anymore outside. Customers are so friendly, people in the supermarket are suddenly very easy, people are driving carefully car ( in Germany!!!!), everybody seems to be very going easy. What happened? I really don´t know but it is mysterious and wonder-full at the same time. It is so peaceful.

I often have a leck of time. I´m reading a book and when I look at my watch, it is 2 hours later- that is impossible. Last week I went to my friend Claudia who is doing my footcare. Usually it takes max. 40 minutes to finish my feets. Last week it took her 2 hours. We were shocked. We both had the feeling that she was mucher faster than in former times but the clock told us something different. My mind is asking " What is time? Where is time? Are we sleeping or in a deep meditation between doing things?" I often red that time is an illusion- and now I´m in. Now I understand people who wrote these words.

What still is deeply deeply touching me is that we are able to heal ourselves. I know, for me it is easy to heal myself because I ever had a very deep connection to my grandma who died long time before I was born. And my life was much easier than for other people. But during that healing process people who tried so many things to get freedom inside of them, they felt healed during that short time on Cypruss. The healing of the first 3 Chakras worked ! Thanks to all energies and masters ! I know- or my mind knows- that energy is there at anytime- but when it is happening, I´m sooo deeply touched. Thanks.

Thank you for all these experiences.

Lots of love and light from

Anja


I have been home now for two weeks after my holiday on cyprus. It was a good time. Meditating together with so many people was very deep and good. I like the stillness in our meditation. And the workshop was good. We listened to many new things about energy and so many other things. Now i am back into my daily routines and meditate regularly with my new mantra and it feels good! I want to say thank you for organising the master class and all of what you have done for us. I send lovely hugs and wishes for a good time to Conny and Judith.

Doris Thewes


Dear Conny!
Dear Judith!
Back at home I still feel my heart wide opened and so very thankful for all those wonderful experiences I had during these special meditations in this year\’s masterclass in Cyprus.
Besides that I learned a lot from the teachers speaking in the afternoon.
Thanks to all of them and of course to you two.
Much love

Marlies and Wolfgang from Germany


The Master Class this year 2009 was Amazing.
It is like The Master Class every year gives a new dimension of life that works from within. What last year gave me of inner sight and inner directives towards the unfolding of my own inner potential, turned out to be for me actually a new birth. My inner call “pulled” me back this year. If the three Master Classes I have attended before have been exactly what my inner just needed, this years Master Class became a booster into what the time and era we live in need and call for from me and all that were present. I am beyond words deeply grateful to the love and cooperation from you Conny and Judith who made this Master Class happen. I am also deeply grateful to all fantastic beings that as a united family attended, shared and supported so tenderly lovingly, and of course also to Cypress with the innate love from Aphrodite calling for our cooperation and synergy. There is also a special name to reveal regarding the core that created and awakened the quality, energy, wisdom and love that these days of the Master Class manifested; that name is Vyasa. How auspiciously graceful it is to experience such days!

Love & Light

First of all a big Thank you to everybody.

I have used very long to come again here. And am not partial still again properly here. At home I felt the first week again as very heavy because it was never so noticeable for me, how big, nevertheless, the energy differences are.

Even if two weeks of the transformation process were very hard for me, I am to full gratitude for this process. He has caused a quite big change with me that I feel. But it was like one seed of the time now to grow needs. At the moment I feel a big gratitude for everything, a lot of love in myself and, above all, to myself. I leave a big bag behind myself and feel lighter around a lot. I feel thus a deep devotion for what I have experienced which has won knowledge I, however, above all, for the feeling of the attachment with all what is. I do not feel any more separate and this is so a wonderful feeling that I cannot touch at all in words. My trust to me and to my life has grown very much. I could write still a whole novel, but I think the lines I now has written express everything.

I owe you all from the bottom of the soul for this process.

Thank you the fact that I might be a part of it and also may become be furthermore.

Completely a lot of light and love

Tanja


Hello Conny and Judith,
How the time flies and another Master Class has come and gone. This year the Master Class was particularly deep for me. The Master Class is like taking a visit to an oasis and drinking deeply. This year felt particularly transforming in a very safe and supportive environment. The daily meditations with honouring the sacred space and the idea of the rainbow were deeply moving. It is difficult to put into words, however I do feel that I am supposed to be on the island and that I have work to do and will be shown the way. This was confirmed by being in the circle and participating and making connections with women, while at the same time honouring the men. My connection with Mother Earth has strengthened.

Thank you for bringing us all together. Go well with joy.

Helen


Dear friends of the masterclass,

first of all I want to thank the initiators of the masterclass. It's a lot of work to organize this event and I think it's important to thank you that you make these experiences possible every year. And in the second part I also want to thank all participants, cause every one helped to create this wonderfull, pure and high energy.
About my experiences I want to tell you that it was very special this year. I started more than the last years to talk to everyone, it was a good feeling of opening myself more for the things and persons around me and I feel better in general.
I have to explain a little bit before I continue. Two month before the masterclass a girl from middle america contacted me. We started to chat a lot and fell in love. I decided to visit her for two weeks at the end of the year. During the masterclass Iwas told I would do an adventure, but it wouldn't happen what I expect and I shouldn't be disappointend.
The process went on very fast. Only four days after I was back at home the girl told me that she decided to break the contact with me.
Since that day I just got one short email from her, that was all. Of course I felt sad about that, but I didnt get depressed how I normaly do in such situations.
Maybe another adventure will happen to me, I don't know yet.
I also want to share with you, I realized back home that in my case it's hard to keep the energy ,we created at cyprus, in that high level. At home you easier get back into old habits, cause of work and the daily life it's hard to focus on myself. I meditate as often as possible and I like the fourth mantra very much. So I can stay positive.

Greeting to all friends of the masterclass

Arndt, Germany


This was my fourth year participating in the Master Class. The former years have been very fine experiences, but this year's Master Class went way over my expectations. The Puja ceremony and the following group process every morning were so beautiful, sa exceptional, so healing. For me this process was something completely new and the result of it has remained in my body, in every cell. I don't need to think about it and should not think about it...it is just there all the time. So wonderful. Great thanks to you all and especially Vyaasa, Conny and Judith.

Per-Arne Ytterman


First week: only peace Second week: Quiet, quiet, calm much inward listening, a lot of clarity, awareness 3 + 4 weeks: Again, appointments, but consider what has time, much sleep needed From 5th week: still much sleep needed, but a lot of announcements, a lot of awareness in all areas

Important things are done easily, but I don`t do it myself really, it is done somehow.

Much more awareness, a lot of clarity, still very much sleep needed.

I can do much more, but I do things not on my own.
Example: If I can not set a deadline, it will be canceled by the other person.

Everything is just right, just as it fits.

I'm the middle of a situation, but also left out, I always get immediate confirmation about things.

I am very much connected to people. One night I thought of my sister from Berlin and did not sleep but packed a present for Christmas for her. Next morning I called her, she told me she could not sleep, thinking of me, being sorry not being able to give me money that she used to give me for Christmas every year.

Realization: Old patterns are no longer so present and materialism can be released easily by us people going the spiritual way, neither for others so much.

All good thoughts.

We are always connected.

Baerbel

Conny, I wish you fort he next year health, satisfaction and luck.

Many greetings from Germany.

MASTERCLASS, CYPRUS 2009

It is difficult to express in words my experiences from the fourth Masterclass in Cyprus. What fills my heart now is gratitude. Gratitude for being able to be there, for participating in divine transformation led by Conny Larsson; gratitude for meeting on my path 15 years ago Maria Stróżyk, PhD, my best hatha yoga teacher and for meeting Conny Larsson, my wonderful Vedic Mantra meditation teacher 3 years later. These two showed me the road to light on which it is impossible to get lost.

I was feeling gratitude rising within me for the whole two week stay in Cyprus. Every day the feeling transformed into overwhelming love for everything around me. I had the impression that I was participating in a perfectly cast divine performance in which each participant had an important role to play. I met many interesting people from whom I learned a lot and realised again that each of us is important and has tremendous chances for successful life. Conny Larsson is a master at leading and organising such meetings. There were teachers from many corners of the globe, from different traditions, very advanced on their way to light. There were also very young people who were just starting their journey and played the role of observers. Both groups participated in meetings, learned and shared their knowledge. It was wonderful. No difference or distance could be felt, and everyone could benefit from advice and knowledge of the more advanced. We discussed how spiritual knowledge could be combined with academic knowledge to help the suffering and the sick, e.g. people with cancer. Two young doctors – surgeons from Sweden who meditate and use their spiritual knowledge in treating their patients, gave amazing examples of healing seemingly hopeless cases.

During the lectures we learned a lot of important things about the history of Cyprus. We visited interesting energy places located high in the mountains. It was extraordinary. Each day was filled with work, interesting meetings and unforgettable experiences. We also visited a completely new and beautifully done Wellness & Serenity Spa with hotel accommodation. The Spa is managed by a person who also has special healing abilities and who can help everyone who comes to him.

I think that out of six stays in Cyprus, this one was by far the best. This time my heart is filled with the feeling of gratitude because I understood how important a role it plays in our life. We should thank and be grateful for everything that happens to us in life and then life will take care of us and give us what we need. For this to happen, we always must bear in mind five most important human values such as: truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-harming. The person who forgets about them, or worse yet, their actions differ from what they say, will never achieve anything in life, even though they meditate.

By meditating we become better people, we gradually discard what’s not good for us and for others. We make the world around us better, learn the principles and rules coming straight from the heart, which we should not break. To achieve inner peace and calmness we must find harmony within us and bring into the reality around us. A wise person lives in harmony with everything around them because they found happiness within themselves.
We should never forget our first teacher who showed us the road to our happiness. With his/ her assistance, care and support we will always be able to follow the road safely. I will never forget my first teachers: Maria Stróżyk, PhD, and Conny Larsson. They told me what to do to find the way towards light which I am following today. Thanks to them I live my life to the full, have no problems or concerns and everything around me unfolds in a non-problematic manner. Problems, stresses and concerns, which in the past ruined my health, are now long gone. The people who caused them left or changed, and the new people who now have come into my life bring only joy and happiness which fills my heart and which I can share with others.

I took with me to Cyprus two wonderful persons who made the stay a very good one and beneficial. Jola Kulig, our best English translator of all meditation courses with Conny Larsson and international yoga vacation courses, helped me to understand in detail everything that was going on and I could also say exactly everything I wanted. Alicja Jeziorecka, a multi-talented artist with passion for photography, documented everything on beautiful photos. While we were experiencing those wonderful moments and broadening our knowledge in Cyprus, here in Poznań in my Yoga Harmonia Centre life was going on as usual, in line with the schedule. The remaining teachers: Małgosia, Terenia and Agnieszka, with the support of Ewa and Teresa, worked in high gear, so that nobody could feel our absence. And this is what happens when there is harmony and the flow of divine energy which we just need to follow.

Masterclass and vacation in Cyprus 2007

This year’s, fifth in a row trip to Cyprus, Masterclass and two week-holidays gave me yet deeper experiences, which touched me on deeper levels and enabled me to better understand the nature of life. During the stay I received the ninth technique from Conny and I realised that it is a pass to acting on my own, especially that Conny proclaimed the whole next year the year of his silence and rest. We managed to plan only our trip to the Himalayas at the beginning on 2009.

I have no intention to rest because my work is my passion. It gives me everything I need. I recover my strength working. The ninth technique I got from Conny made me even more confident that I am going in the right direction. Every day while practicing asanas of hatha yoga and meditating with mantra, I discover an extraordinary source of power in my body. I practically exercise and meditate at the same time, and I feel the flow of divine energy that gives me strength and power, which I happily share with others.

Conny Larsson and meditation he taught me, for which I am very grateful to him, enabled me to discover the source of love in my heart and find happiness inside me. All the mantras I went through cleansed my chakras one by one and gradually opened and healed that grievously hurt source of love. I believe that the ninth mantra, the last mantra, with which I feel wonderful, will take care of the rest and only pure and true love will flow from my heart and then I will be able to share it with all people in the entire world.

Now I know that everyone who wants to help others must first get to know and love themselves, must reach and cleanse their source of love in the heart, and only then can teach others how to open their hearts to the flow of divine love. Once this happens, love will flow like a wide river stream to all the corners of the world and will come back to the one who sends it.

The combination of hatha yoga and Vedic mantra meditation accelerated my development by at least 20 years. Now I know for sure that starting hatha yoga at the age of 50 I would not have been able to do even half of it if I had not incorporated Vedic mantra meditation into my practice. I also think that everyone who wants to develop spiritually or consider themselves as such, should also make sure they have a strong physical body because our soul wants to live in a healthy body. It was the key message of my lecture at Masterclass for which I prepared an article titled „How to act and what to avoid on the path to spiritual development.

I spent the last two weeks of my stay on vacation together with a group of 8 girl friends and friend Marcin from my Center. It was wonderful. I enjoyed it and was with them when they were experiencing strong emotions during meetings and workshops with interesting people, lectures and meditations with Conny Larsson. We felt great meditating and practicing asanas at sunrise while listening to the gentle murmur of waves and breathing fresh sea air.

I am proud of the development of my students whom I could bring with me on an incredible trip to their inner self.



Ania Rykowska-Grzywna




It was my fourth very special and the best vacation in Cyprus. In the first week I participated in Masterclass meetings organised by Conny Larsson. The meetings were attended by people from all over the world who presented their achievements on their way to spiritual development. I had an occasion to meet with those people and learn how one can work and travel to the same place, where everyone will once meet, using various roads. There were also interesting presentations of scientific methods of working on spiritual development.

Every one of us had one full day to present their program in detail. We could ask questions, discuss and learn from others. I presented how one can help oneself and others through practicing Hatha Yoga and meditating with mantra. My presentation attracted wide interest. I proved on my own example that through regular asana practice and meditation one can discover their inner potential and activate more percentages of the dormant brain. I presented how I had been reaching my mind by fixing my physical body and how I had turned from a 50 year-old person, exhausted physically and mentally, into a balanced person who enjoys life and perfect help.

I found a way to my mind through the physical body and it feels great. Every day during my practice I have a dialogue with my body and soul and I discover with joy that there is more and more space in my body through which flows divine breath that reaches my mind. The eighth mantra I received from Conny during my stay in Cyprus made me feel this space very clearly. I felt how my body was opening more and more to the flow of the whole love of the universe and how I became part of it. Now I feel like singing, dancing, enjoying every moment, working even more and sharing this love with people in the whole world.

I primarily owe my great health and wellbeing to meditation that Conny Larsson taught me. It is a 9-technique Vedic mantra meditation. There are nine main leading mantras given by the teacher. Each mantra helps us gradually remove stress, impurities and leads further towards the harmony of body and mind. In meditation we regain health, joy and find the source of power and wisdom in our body which is at our service. Mantras that we get from the teacher assist us in getting to this source effectively and safely. They are our shield and protection and lead us to our destination like a good guide. It is a long-term process and depending on our practice may take up to 10 years. I have been meditating for 8 years and now I have the eighth mantra. My joy and benefits of the practice are enormous.

Now I am 61 and have lots of challenging plans for the future. I do not intend to give up on anything. My calendar has turned back at least 30 years. Thanks to meditation I understood what life is about and what life is, who I am and what I should do to be happy. Ever since I stopped listening to others and started following only my inner voice I began to feel better, better and better every day. I also understood that everything that once happened in my life, which totally ruined my health at the age of 50, was necessary for me to be happy. Today I am able to thank my husband – alcoholic, whom I cursed in the past for my misfortunes, for being in my life and for having two wonderful children by him. Thanks to him I started my search and found my path, my destiny and I’m happy today. Ever since I understood that we are all one, that my sick husband is also a part of me, I started sending him light during meditation instead of getting angry with him. It turned out to be good for both of us. Today my husband is a healed alcoholic and has sorted out his life according to his plan.

During my 11-year yoga practice I understood that my physical body is as important to me as my mind and that is why, I would like to thank wholeheartedly also my first Hatha Yoga teacher Ms. Maria Strozyk, PhD. I met her on my path 11 years ago and she was the one who told me then: Ania, nothing but asanas of hatha yoga can help your crooked spine. I believed her – I cried with pain but practiced asanas.

Accordingly, Ms. Maria Strozyk and Conny Larsson are my best teachers. They showed me what was and what is best for me. For me it was like meeting my second parents. I am very happy about it.

This year’s meeting of spiritual masters from all over the world in Cyprus, organised by Conny Larsson, made me realise even more what is the most important in life, what we should be guided by in life what we should remember and forget. I will never forget the wonderful atmosphere created by the participants, meetings, interesting lectures and meditations. It was a great idea Conny!

The remaining two weeks with a group of Swedish and German people were also wonderful. Together we could practice Hatha Yoga, meditate, listen to interesting lectures delivered by Conny and see beautiful landscapes of Cyprus.

We have been at Cyprus again! For the third consecutive year we have visited the Island of Aphrodite to see old friends, to meet new people and to make new friends.

We feel that Cyprus, for us, have become a power place where we want to go for contemplation, meditation and recreation. We took part in the Tourist Class during two weeks, week 43 and 44.

To sit together with people of the same belief and meditate is just unbelievable. The power we receive during our meditation is fantastic. Because of the relaxed atmosphere we have the possibility to receive power and strength in our own pace.

Our thanks to Conny for the contribution he make to our world. Together we pull down all the negative walls that exist in the world. Together we take part in the process to be healed to our body and soul. When we are together with people with the same belief we make a contribution for each other and for the world. To meet and practice the art of the Vedic Mantra Meditation is wonderful. Then miracle will occur!

At spiritual practice positive bundles of energies are born which are spread like circles at the water. These circles will wake up other seeking souls to wonder why we are here and what is our duty in this world.

Meditation gives power and strength!

A visit to Cyprus is also a possibility to see places of great historical interest. The history of Cyprus go back thousand of years and you can see remains of a number of cultures. You can actually feel the wing stroke of ancient cultures.

We stayed this year, as well as two years ago, at TopSet Hotel, a family hotel some kilometre west of Girne (Kyrenia). The hotel is very quiet and pleasant, and at this time of the year the number of other guests are very few. We will take the opportunity to recommend the hotel for everybody who is going to visit Northern Cyprus.

We can, we are - UNITY!

See you all at Cyprus - the Island of Aphrodite - next year!

With love from Marie and Jan (Sweden)



I was deeply inspired during the days at Cypress with you Conny and the group that came together in a Master Class meeting. The place the atmosphere and the different presentations by the participants was an answer to my heartcall of how to meet with people. And to share myself in such a group is of deep importance for my own spiritual growth. Adding also the opportunity we had to listen to some extraordinary spiritual inspiring teachers living at Cypress, and to become familiar with the fantastic spiritual potential of Cypress made the week one of the best in my life.

My most humble thanks to you Conny for connecting to our old and deep friendship by your invitation and that you included "my man". Unfortunately we could only stay for one week, but it was for our individual lives and our life together not a matter of time but depth and quality of spiritual companionship. I feel deeply honored and blessed by Grace to be part of such an event, and in my heart these days stays as nutrition to the every coming day.

Much love

Meeting for the Masters' Class in Cypress was truly inspiring and an excellent example of how to spend a meaningful holiday. We were a group of teachers from several different countries, each bringing to the class an area of acquired knowledge and experience. The subjects were really quite diversified, which was both challenging and stimulating. Each teacher gave me a new experience and another direction from which to approach my own personal development and healing process. And yet we all seemed to belong to the same spiritual family so to speak, since it was easy to build a strong sense of togetherness in the group. Conny spoke about the seven different states of consciousness and also did some interpretations from Vyaasa, "the first Rishi, or Seer". That, for sure was an extra bonus at the seminar.

The island itself was beautiful, with a dramatic combination of ocean shore and high mountains whatever way your head turned.  The food was delicious.

I taught two subjects: "Establishing Contact with your Spirit Guide or Power Animal by means of a Shaman Drumming Journey", and "Dream Interpretation for Spiritual Guidance". We did experience som "growing pains" in terms of what method of communication we should use in the circle, so next year I hope to teach Group Dynamics and Co-counseling. It was wonderful to work with a gathering of people who were so experienced and open at the same time.

I really look forward to the next event of this kind that Conny organises!

I am most grateful for what I have experienced and learned in my two weeks at Conny's meditation group. I feel a deep change within after this yourney. Conny contributes with all his knowledge. Very exciting!
There was an interesting mix of teachers and lecturers. Ania is still going strong with her yoga. It was a pleasure to see and talk to the fantastic Irena Rutenberg. Her workshop Radical Forgiveness is very strong. Viola Edwards and Helen Jidds were two coulorful lecturers.
I am glad I met so many nice participants from Germany, Sweden, Poland and Cyprus.
I am also glad that we were back at Top Set Hotel. It is not too big, it is familiar and very kind. The rooms are fantastic! The situation of the hotel is perfect; near to the village, dolmuses to both Girne and to the countryside.
Every one, teachers, lecturers, participants, hotel staff, has contributed in her or his specific way to make this visit a meaningful inner and outer trip. Thank you all!
