Meditation (Dhyana) is the natural state of our inmost Consciousness, our root Self-awareness. If you turn your awareness within, meditation is what you really are, your true nature beyond all sorrow. Join us in a meditative journey to this inner transformation.
True meditation is not an activity of the mind, which is not itself conscious or Self-aware. The nature of the mind is distracted, stimulated, and moved from the outside, a stream of changing thoughts, emotions, and sensations. The real meditative state is an awareness beyond the thought-based mind. Learning to access your thought-free awareness is the intelligence of Yoga.
Yogic meditation is first of all the state of the witness, sakshi-bhava, a state of detachment (vairagya) in which you hold to the steadiness of observation. Learn to be the silent witness of what you see, not controlled by it.
Yogic meditation is based upon a one-pointed awareness, ekagra-chitta, in which our thoughts are merged into a deeper unitary awareness. In this state, our Inner Seeing and Inner Listening (Drishti and Shruti) awaken, unfolding a new way of learning. Learn to open these inner yogic faculties within you.
Yet to make the mind one-pointed, we must first make our Prana one-pointed, as pranic disturbances through our senses and vital urges fragment our energy and awareness. We will examine yogic secrets of the unitary Prana of consciousness.
For true meditation, we also need the right intention, motivation, and determination. There must be a continual aspiration. Learn to bring a meditative intention into all that you do.
Yogic Meditation is an inquiry into our true Self, the ultimate question, “Who Am I,” moving into our true nature as pure consciousness beyond body and mind, the Purusha/Atman of Yoga. Learn a transcendent awareness.
Meditation is not an assertive activity. It is surrendering within, merging the mind into the spiritual heart (hridya) which is the seat of the Self and our connection to the Divine. Learn to surrender and gain the entire universe.
