YMSA - Mantra Meditation Studio Sunshine Coast - Classes


We offer our meditation program once a week. There are a small amount of people coming so far, but it is really personal which people seem to appreciate. The details of our program are below.

Deep peace meditation-

This session includes mantra deep breathing, Kirtan (mantra chanting) and a mini guided relaxation session. This is a very mellow and relaxing evening.

Mantra Meditation-

Mantra meditation is a process of hearing and chanting sacred Mantras. ‘Man’ Means the mind and ‘tra’ means to transport the mind away from the material realm and place it on the spiritual realm.

Singing the mantras in a group- 

This is called ‘Kirtan.’ This practice is very enjoyable and has nothing to do with having a
good singing voice, so don’t feel shy. It is done in a call-response style where you listen to the mantra being chanted by us and as a group everyone chants together in response to the mantra you heard. We usually play musical instruments also to accompany the tunes we sing.

Location-

We are located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Our programs are held in the Maroochydore area. Every Wednesday night 7.00pm – 8.30pm. No bookings required. Free Refreshments served.

 About us-

Each of us started our spiritual journeys in different parts of the world and at different times until one day we crossed paths. We have been practicing mantra meditation for many years on a daily basis and have experienced the wonderful benefits from it, which has motivated us to share it with others.

YMSA - Yoga Meditation Studio Kingscliff - Delicious Homemade Scones


  
 Scones                       
Quick & easy
Sweet or savory


Ingredients       
                                     
2 ½ cups organic self raising flour
(Unbleached or wholemeal is also suitable but must be self-raising)
½ cup full cream milk powder  
45g butter
1 cup filtered water                 
Milk for glazing

Preheat oven at 220c.

Sift flour into a bowl and add milk powder.
Rub in butter lightly with fingertips.
Pour in water and mix to a soft dough
(the less handling the better)
Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently.
Pat dough out to 2cm thickness and cut into rounds with a 5cm cutter                                                                         
Place close together on a greased oven slide.
Brush with milk.

Bake for 10 -12 mins.

Remove and cover with a clean tea-towel until ready to serve.     

Variations:  both these are yum! 
          
                              
Cheese & chive scones:

Add ½ cup grated tasty vegetarian cheese and 2 tbsp chopped chives before adding the water.
Brush scones with milk and sprinkle with extra grated cheese.

Note: I don’t usually have chives, so I mix in a bit of veggie salt.

Sultana cinnamon scones:


Add 1 cup sultanas and 1tsp cinnamon before adding the water. Brush scones with melted butter and sprinkle with a mixture of 2tbsp coconut palm sugar or raw sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon.

Scones are great, either hot or cold as a healthy alternative to shop bought bread or if you’ve run out of bread and want to make something up quick to have for dinner with a cup ofveggie soup. They can be eaten as is, or with toppings to make them extra special when expecting guests.
