Lesson 1

Introduction to Teaching Meditation

This introductory audio is for those who want to start teaching meditation or add meditation to their clinical or teaching skills. You will receive guidance on how to speak from meditative awareness and to organize the structure of your classes. When you start your first class knowing who you are speaking to and giving them the acknowledgment for their wanting to learn meditation, your classes start in the most relaxed and cohesive way with good group dynamics.

Lesson 2

Infinite Peace: Guided Abdominal Breathing Technique and Mantra Meditation

You can play this lesson to become familiar with the beginning breathing (pranayama) and mantra meditation methods and for a direct experience of how they work. You can then replay it a few times to learn the language and methods for teaching this to your students or clients. You will receive a mantra that is passed down from teacher to student for initiation into the path of meditation. Amaram hum madhuran hum, I am immortal, I am blissful, pure, free, and forever.

Lesson 3

Infinite Peace: Alternate Nostil Breathing

Shree guides you in the process of alternate nostril breathing. This method brings about an automatic calming effect for the body and nervous system. It elicits a relaxation response and makes it much easier to sit in meditation. You can listen and practice yourself and study the instructions so that you can guide others in this pranayama breathing technique.

Lesson 4

Transformation Meditation Foundation Series Classes 1-3

This gives you instructions on how to set up your classes with the lesson plans for the first three classes in your series. It starts from the first class where you are getting to know your group or student and brings you through to the fourth session of understanding sound vibration and mantra. The Infinite Peace audios in lessons 2 and 3 will guide you through the techniques so you can share them with your students and this audio in lesson 4 will give you the content from the benefits of meditation, the stress response, and the difficulties and troubles that arise for the meditator. And brings you to the de-identification process and the understanding of mantra and sound.

Lesson 5

Infinite Peace: Deep Relaxation

Shree guides you into yoga nidra, deep relaxation. This is experience is known in the yogic system as pure space. It is when all the thoughts are absorbed for some time in the space of Pure Beingness, similar to deep sleep. In deep sleep, you are blessed and in yog nidra you are awake but totally relaxed. Through this guided practice you will become familiar with these instructions to be able to guide your students in this technique. This method has also been shown to be one of the best techniques to help those who have trouble sleeping.

Lesson 6

Infinite Peace: Three Breathing Techniques and Meditation

This will give you the knowledge of how to guide your students into a full program of breathwork and meditation. You will be guided in abdominal, deep yogic breath, alternate nostril breathing, and kumbak, breath retention. Then you will be guided in various methods to allow your students to be able to most easily and effectively get into breath and mantra meditation to receive the maximum benefits.

Lesson 7

Transformation Meditation Classes 4-5

Classes four and five give you an understanding of the sound vibrations that come from repeating the mantra. This meditation is a technique that allows them to see the mantra coming from the center of the space in front of their closed eyes and attend the Knower, the one who is knowing the mantra coming from the center of the space. This is practiced in the Infinite Peace recording. The fifth class is a full session of deep relaxation, breathing techniques, and meditation as practiced in the Infinite peace audio lessons 5.

Lesson 8

Infinite Peace: Mantra of the Whole, Om Poornamida Chanting

The Om Poornamida Mantra is in Sanskrit which is a vibration language whereby the meaning is experienced through hearing or singing it. The meaning is, you are the whole and nothing can be added to you to make you any greater, and nothing can be taken away to make you any less. I always end the classes with this mantra so that the students will enjoy this vibration and meaning in their own system throughout the day. You can sing it with them or play this recording.

Lesson 9

Transformation Meditation Teacher Training Intermediate Sessions

This intermediate session contain knowledge from the Patanjali Yoga Sutras and more advanced breathing techniques This includes: four stages of mantra meditation, four types of pain, the troubles that arise for the meditator, the gunas (human qualities), and the solution to all of these pains and troubles. Plus the Eight Limbs of Yoga culminating is samaadhi (transcendence in meditation).
