Reality Never Asked To Be Understood, Return To The Peace Of Unknowing - Spiritual Awakening Guided Meditation & Satsang-Style Discussion [Copied]
With Corin Bryant
This session begins with a simple yet powerful meditation in which we discover the true inner peace possible through a powerful 'Return To Unknowing' this natural practice is a return to a relaxed and harmonious state of being by letting go of the need to control, analyze or understand. Simply observing what already is is more than enough for true inner peace and spiritual awakening.
This meditation will be grounded in the principles of pure presence, non-attached awareness and mindful observation of the present moment through the five senses. This session is designed with practicality in mind and will contain practices and pointers on how to utilize meditative and spiritual principles in daily life to reduce anxiety and stress and develop true inner peace and wellbeing.
Almost ALL traditions, practices, philosophies, religions, beliefs and sciences emphasise the importance of staying Present as a means to inner peace and happiness, so there is no singular origin for the teaching in this session, however those familiar with Buddhism and Eckhart Tolle's work will find the principles familiar.
The guided meditation will be between 20/30 minutes and followed by an informal Q&A with continued guided practice (Satsang style) All of these sessions contain advice on how to carry this practice through into daily life and pointers on deepening spiritual and meditative practice.
Theses sessions are often light-hearted and often includes references to artifacts in pop-culture to illustrate the principles. Metaphors are often taken from films like The Matrix, Lord Of The Rings, Truman Show, and Shutter Island to open discussion and make the philosophies discussed accessible.
(The relative individual practice of Emotional Healing and Shadow Work as they relate to meditation and Spirituality will be covered in the Sunday sessions.)
