The Image: Beginner's Mirror Meditation
With Beth Ciesco"To know the self as the only reality and all else as temporal and transient is freedom, peace and joy. It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things as imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face. The thought 'I am' is the polishing cloth. Use it.” — Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj For most of us, and with rare exception, we live in a state of disconnect from our True Nature. We may have intellectual understanding of it or even experiences of union, long or short, of being the Self. But by and large, as soon as life demands an interaction or action (or reaction) of us, we simply forget. Even if we are well-anchored in our Divinity, that nature is pure potential and an ever-expanding mystery to our human side. In other words, for the little self, there is always more to discover or experience. Mirror Meditation is a form of meditation that makes it easier to learn to distinguish the facets of our life-experience as both human and Divine. In this introductory course, the first and only training of its kind, you'll develop practices for genuine self-transformation and realization. Lay the groundwork of understanding in 10 informational and practical lessons. You’ll learn foundational theory and important concepts to developing a successful practice. Then apply what you've learned in guided practices to acquaint and deepen your experience with this amazing path for a meaningful mirror meditation practice. So start today for greater self-acceptance, broadened awareness, and a deeper connection to True Self. Mirror Meditation is a path for earnest seekers and those of sound mental and emotional health. As you work through the lessons, please take your time. Don't be surprised if you find you need time to integrate between practices before moving on to the next lesson.
A Sacred Practice for Divine Communion and Awakening to the Self.
