Description
People sometimes ask, "Why do you meditate?"They also ask, "What do you do in meditation? Are you trying to empty your mind? What is the goal of meditation?Sometimes people ask if meditation will help them with their challenges: stress, fear, doubt, grief, depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, low self-worth, a lack of confidence, a desire to love more, a longing to be loved more, relationships, work, career, finances, concentration, school.Some people also come to meditation because they have a spiritual yearning. They wonder if spiritual awakening is real. If so, what is awakening like, how does one realize awakening, and is awakening possible for us all?Many forces can draw us to meditation. Reason can compel us. Intuition can also draw us. For most of us, both the mind and the heart bring us to meditation. There is an intellectual knowing that meditation will help us. There is also an intuitive sense that meditation will help us.A great blessing of my life was that I was born into a culture of meditation, mindfulness, and personal growth. I learned different forms of meditation, different mindfulness techniques, and different modalities for personal growth. Through this process, I realized there were fundamental skills common to all approaches. This course will teach you these fundamental skills. It will also give you the knowledge necessary to direct your personal growth and transformation.There are seven fundamental skills that you practice in meditation. These skills are what you "do" in meditation. As you gain proficiency with these skills, they become the outcomes you realize. These skills include balance, presence, focus, choice, relaxation, resting in stillness and silence, and doing nothing.In this course, we will learn and practice the first four of these seven skills.Meditation allows us to cultivate more BALANCEbetween the mind and the heartbetween thinking and feelingbetween doing and beingbetween controlling and allowing / accepting / loving / flowingBy gaining more balance between the mind and the heart, we live a more embodied life.Meditation also allows us to cultivate more PRESENCE so that we are more present in our life: for a conversation, for a cup of tea, for a business meeting, for a significant other, for our family. With more presence, we show up more fully for our own lives.Meditation also allows us to cultivate more FOCUS. With focus, we prioritize that which is important and spend time on it. Focus allows us to build a life that we value.Meditation also allows us to cultivate the power of CHOICE. The only place freedom is ever found is in choice. By cultivating the power of choice, we become more empowered, develop more self-efficacy, and have a stronger internal locus of control.Highlights of this course include:learn and practice the four fundamental skills of meditation:balancepresencefocuschoicerealize more connection with your feelings and your heartdiscover more enjoyment by having more presence in your lifeacquire clarity on that which helps you create a happy and fulfilling lifeovercome challenges by gaining a larger perspective of yourself and this existenceheal trauma by discovering the abiding love of conscious awarenessrealize how transformation and growth are possible for all of usnormalize the importance of receiving help and of helpingunderstand the actions to take if you are in dire circumstancesbecome more resilient so that you bounce back faster from life's challengesgain the ability to assess the efficacy of both teachers and teachingsmore fully understand and access your sovereignty and authoritybecome more responsible, accepting full accountability for your lifelay the foundation for understanding and realizing spiritual awakeninglearn to meditate using the world's most popular meditation techniqueunderstand how to physically sit in meditation using traditional meditation posturediscover how different meditation gear can help you sit in meditationacquire insight into the difference between meditation and mindfulnessdevelop the ability to be more mindful in all aspects of lifecultivate a warrior spirit within yourselfdiscover your life's purposerealize more happinessDescribed as “fun,” “entertaining," and “delightful,” this course will teach you how to meditate and practice mindfulness.
