RESIDENTIAL COURSE: How to Deal with Change
Editions
Choose a specific edition for more informationDescription
Eventually, you will pass beyond every shadow of bad karma, beyond all tests and difficulties, and will behold at last the dawn of divine fulfillment.
In that highest of all states of consciousness will come freedomfrom every last, trailing vapor of misfortune."
Courage, calmness and confidence are the secrets to dealing with any difficulty life may present. The 'impossible' becomes manageable and can be perceived as a stepping-stone to greater inner strength. Everyone can be courageous, calm and confident because these are qualities of the soul and are innate within each of us. Hypnotised with material thinking and desires, many of us have lost touch with our inner power. The course is based on the potent book of spiritual wisdom with the same name, in which Paramhansa Yogananda shares the most effective steps for reconnecting with our divine nature.
In this course, you will learn how to:
- Access powerful soul qualities;
- Overcome the great obstacles of worry, fear, nervousness and anger;
- Attune to the Divine within you through concentration and meditation;
- Use scientific healing affirmations to transform your thinking and thereby your experience of life.ù

Your teachers:
Nayaswami Uma Macfarlane is a Kriyacharya, Counselor and Raja Yoga Teacher. An astute counselor and teacher, Uma offers a number of classes on Raja Yoga at the Ananda Assisi center.A student and teacher of yogic philosophy and spiritual science for 40 years, Uma lived for many years at Ananda Village in California, where served for a time as secretary for Swami Kriyananda.
She has taught at Ananda communities in the United States, as well in India and many parts of Europe. A native of the England, she brings wonderful wit and charming warmth to her classes as well as obvious depth of experience. She is currently serving in our Assisi, Italy retreat.
Nayaswami Premi shares: "In 1995, the most important event of my life happened, my meeting with my master Paramhansa Yogananda. He ignited in my heart the ardor to live for God. Through reading his writings, I felt that I was in touch with Christ, and this opened me completely to the Light. This is what I share with the people who come to visit us at Ananda, the community where I have lived since 1997.The key reference point in my life has been Swami Kriyananda's spiritual guidance and the enlightenment that he shared by his example of discipleship.
So, in my service to Ananda as a teacher, I wish to share with others all the good that God has given me and continues to give me through Master, Swami, and so many dear people in this beautiful community."
