Guided Meditation With Rumi

With The Drunken Monk

Meditation & Poetry Combined "… the space in the gaps between the words… that's where your essence is waiting…” While listening or reading poetry, we are shifting our attention from just reading words and thinking about them, to an openness of their essence. The mind becomes calmer as we are creating a space within for profound insights and meaning to arise. With poems, the world of symbols and imagery opens and connects us to our deeper and more authentic wisdom. Meditation then enhances this unique ‘space beyond’ and helps us to embrace it fully on a holistic level (mind, body, spirit, emotions). Through the harmonious combination of Rumis poetry and the meditative space, we can connect with the real jewels of our authentic wisdom. Then the practice becomes a rich nourishment and ‘food for our soul’.

The Drunken Monk
Prague, Czechia

Peter has been on the Path since he can remember asking the questions, "Who am I?, What is purpose?, How do I work this?" Over the past 40-plus years he has looked for the answers in the world of Psychology, Psychotherapy, and Modern Spiritual research. However, it was in 2004, when Peter finally had his own direct experience of 'Satori' ( a glimpse of Enlightenment) while participating in the Enlightenment Intensive process. Peter then spent the next 12 years unpacking its secrets and understanding the keys that created this shift in consciousness. Since 2017 he has been working exclusively to serve others. He shares how a direct experience of self-realization is openly accessible and available to everyone free from the need for any scripture, guru, or religious structure.

Lesson 1

I Have Come To Shine

We begin our journey with a summary of the foundations to the practice of presence. It is by moving into the still point of the moment that we are best able to receive the essence of Rumis words in each of the poems shared. For the first session we start with the moving, ' I Have Come To Shine'

Lesson 2

Within Your Living Being There Is A Spirit.

Within us all there is you, free from the tension of the conditioned mind. We take the practice a little deeper and allow body, heart and mind to open ready to receive the gifts of Rumis words. All that you are is already within you. You only need to open to that and to allow the feeling of expansion to arise.

Lesson 3

You Are The Drop And The Ocean

Sometimes it can really help to move into stillness after movement. The session begins with an invitation to stretch, shake, breath even make sounds to release any trapped energy or tension in the body and mind. This can be a powerful tool to move into the sweet spot of the present moment ready for Rumis wisdom to enter your heart.

Lesson 4

Don't Go Back To Sleep

It take a while to build the habit of moving into presence on a regular basis. To help sustain your daily practice Peter shares the four steps to a breath. It can serve as a practice anytime during the day that takes only the time to draw and release one breath. Rumis wisdom is filled with love and guiding words to stay with your practice, every day!

Lesson 5

The Guest House

One of the most famous and profound of Rumis poems is featured in the last session. It is The Guest House. Rumi guides you to be at peace with loving kindness to whatsoever shows up in your experience. This treasure shows you a way to inner stillness, no matter what is occurring in the world around you.

This course has brought me great peace and comfort. I am finding myself waking to random moments, finding presence and equanimity outside of my formal practice time which is unexpected gift for which I am most grateful.
