SUMMARY:Meditation and its Practice
DESCRIPTION:This six-day programme is as much appropriate for beginners as for more advanced seekers treading the path of spirituality. The foundation stones of meditation will be approached in a scientific and systematic manner. Preparations and progressions of meditation practice will be shared step by step. This course will give you the tools to establish and pursue a regular personal meditation practice. \nIn his book Meditation and Its Practice\, Swami Rama of the Himalayas wrote: \n“For thousands of years\, the science of meditation has been studied and practiced by aspirants who sought to make their lives more serene\, creative and fulfilling. Meditation will give you the capacity to improve your health\, your relationships and the skilfulness with which you perform your activities. This is because meditation can do something no other technique can accomplish – it introduces you to yourself on all levels and finally leads you to the center of consciousness within\, the higher self\, which is called Atman.” \n\nRecommended Readings:\n\nMeditation and Its Practice by Swami Rama\n“Beginning Meditation” in Night Birds by Swami Veda Bharati\nMeditation: Art and Science by Swami Veda Bharati\nAudio with book: Learn to Meditate (plus relaxation exercises) by Swami Veda Bharati.\nVideo: Treading the Path of Superconscious Meditation by Swami Rama\nThe Royal Path by Swami Rama\nHolistic Living Manual by Swami Rama\nConscious Living by Swami Rama\n\n\nRead More Information:\n\nAbout visiting the ashram – Accommodation\nAbout our other short-term upcoming events – Events\nAbout our ongoing short-term Ashram Immersion Program\nAbout how you may contribute towards the ashram – Donate
