Break Free from the Chaos and Discover the Power of Daily Sādhana in this Half-Day Live Event
Getting off the householder hamster wheel for a couple of carefully curated moments every day has become increasingly important. We could say that the rise of meditation reflects a necessary response to the trend of scheduling every fleeting moment of our lives with something to do, with some way to “be productive!” Meditation and contemplative practices in general are timeless and found throughout the world’s wisdom traditions, but perhaps at no other time has its benefits been so exhaustively in demand.
But which form of meditation is right for me? And what about the rituals and practices that one does before and after meditation? What is the point of these other “limbs” of practice? How do I fit meditation in when my day is already completely full to begin with?
In this half-day workshop, you’ll learn:
- The benefits of transforming meditation from an occasional practice into a central pillar of your life.
- A cycle of practice that takes you from the “gross” body (light postural yoga) to the subtle body in meditation.
- The theory of sound and vibration in yoga, and how it relates to practice.
- A number of Sanskrit chants that you can incorporate into your personal practice.
- A journaling reflection exercise that helps to integrate the experience of meditation.
- The philosophy and science of nāda yoga (the “inner sound”)
- The practice of uccāra (the “upward enuncation” of mantra)
- The practice of nyāsa (the practice of “placing” mantras on the body)
Facilitated by Jacob Kyle, Founder and Director of Embodied Philosophy.
