Meditation
Index of Articles: Basics of meditation:
Below are
several introductory articles on meditation. It is very useful to have a
personal reason for meditation, as well as a regular time and
place.
Expanding meditation:
Building on the Basics of meditation, one expands those
practices gently and patiently over time.
Witnessing: Seated
meditation and meditation in action are both times for
witnessing the external and internal worlds.
More advanced practices: The
phrase advanced practices is not one I enjoy using, as all people
are walking this path of life. The fact that one person might be on the
bow of the ship and the other on the stern should not matter very much.
However, advanced is a word we are all accustomed to seeing, so
that is what is used here. After one learns the basics of meditation,
and adds a few more complementary practices along the way, there comes a
time when the subtler practices are of interest. The articles below
describe some of the further practices.
-------
This site is devoted to
presenting the ancient Self-Realization path of
the Tradition of the Himalayan masters
in simple, understandable and beneficial ways, while not compromising
quality or depth. The goal of our sadhana or practices is the highest
Joy that comes from the Realization in direct experience of the
center of consciousness, the Self, the Atman or Purusha, which is
one and the same with the Absolute Reality.
This Self-Realization comes through Yoga meditation of the Yoga
Sutras, the contemplative insight of Advaita Vedanta, and the
intense devotion of Samaya Sri Vidya Tantra, the three of which
complement one another like fingers on a hand.
We employ the classical approaches of Raja, Jnana, Karma, and Bhakti
Yoga, as well as Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Laya, Mantra, Nada, Siddha,
and Tantra Yoga. Meditation, contemplation, mantra and prayer
finally converge into a unified force directed towards the final
stage, piercing the pearl of wisdom called bindu, leading to the
Absolute.
