Freeing the Human Spirit
What We Do
IN MEDITATION, BEING ONE WITH OUR BREATHING IN SILENCE, SITTING IN A SPECIFIC POSTURE,
WITH NO THINKING, NO REMEMBERING, NO IMAGINING AND NO EMOTING, THE PRACTICE OF MEDITATION BEGINS.

In yoga, by being one with our breathing as we stretch and relax in the postures, both the internal and external body systems are helped. When we tune in to our breathing in this focused way, the practice of yoga begins.

no remembering, no imagining

...the place in which we are becomes an Ashram. With the practice of meditation and yoga, the ego gradually diminishes.
Zen Masters say that an over-active ego leads to offending behaviour. When ego is weakened by our daily practice, the life-giving
Sacred is gradually allowed to pursue its own course. Eastern religions say the Sacred returns to its spontaneity within us...
in other words, it does its own thing. Is Christianity any different when it says, "I live now not I,but Christ lives in me"?
Both meditation and yoga were originally practiced to experience the Sacred. Freeing the Human Spirit is designed for, and
dedicated to, helping inmates pursue this ultimate quest.
FTHS teachers accomplish their goal by conducting MEDITATION AND YOGA CLASSES in prisons, by leading PRISON STAFF WORKSHOPS and through our LETTER WRITING PROGRAM.
