It is the way you live your life. It is a call to action from the underlying force that has given birth to every atom in your body, as well as the entire cosmos. Meditation invites you to turn into yourself and be a totally alive, spontaneous and authentic human being across all levels of your humanness: body, mind, spirit, heart, emotions, thoughts, speech and actions.The foundational practices of yoga meditation teach you how to welcome and proactively respond to each and every circumstance of your life so that your actions are in harmony, not just with yourself but with life itself. These foundational practices are designed to advance your understanding of meditation by supporting you to actualize forthright intentions within yourself and carry them with you in each moment of your daily life.In this module, you’ll be introduced to:The map of yoga meditationThree levels and two paths of mindfulnessFour phases of awakeningHow intentions nourish meditationInquiries to discover your unchanging inner resource of wellbeingThe function of the five senses, mind and egoThe role of the 7th sense of non-separationYour innate unchanging ground of wholenessSession 2: Waking In – Foundations of Meditation, Part 2Core Principles & the Neuroscience of Meditation (August 16)Certain core principles enable you to build a strong foundation for your practice of meditation. These principles help you learn meditation as both a daily practice and as a way of being and living in the world, enhancing your relationship with yourself and others at home, at work and at play.Understanding what modern-day neuroscience reveals can also help you engage and follow through with your meditation practice by showing you what’s taking place in your body and mind as you engage the various practices of meditation.In this module, you’ll discover:Core principles of yoga meditationFour neural networks involved with meditationTwo styles of focused attention that deepen concentrationHow to step out of compulsive thinking and emotional reactivityHow to open to insight and infinite possibilitySimple practices that nourish heart-centered presence of being in the worldSession 3: Waking In – Foundations of Meditation, Part 3Welcoming Opposites of Emotion & Cognition: Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Emotions & Thoughts (August 23)Your sensations, feelings, emotions and cognitions are ever-changing. Yoga meditation helps you recognize these movements as messengers, designed to help you respond, rather than react, so that in each moment you feel deeply connected to yourself and in harmony with the world around you.Meditation teaches you how to notice, welcome and proactively respond to these messengers of sensation, emotion and cognition. Your ability to engage them responsively, with right action, enables you to fully embody, actualize and individuate yourself as a unique human being so that you’re fully capable of navigating the ins and outs of your life and interactions. Your ability to respond appropriately grounds you and prepares you to navigate the realizations that are to come as you deepen your meditation practice.In this module, you’ll discover:How to work with emerging psychic material on and off your meditation cushionFour internal needs that help you meet each moment responsivelySix ways to proactively respond to sensations, emotions and cognitions as messengersHow welcoming and engaging opposites leads to insightThe neuroscience of emotionsSession 4: Waking In – Foundations of Meditation, Part 4Experiencing Joy & Wellbeing (August 30)Joy, wellbeing, love, peace, compassion and loving-kindness are qualities that naturally arise through meditation. Through meditation you can realize these as unchanging qualities that can exist alongside of, and independent of any achievement or changing state of your body or mind. The practice of yogic meditation doesn’t create these qualities. Rather, it helps unearth them so that you can recognize them as always present.Like your ability to learn a language, joy, wellbeing, love, peace, compassion and loving-kindness are yours from birth. This explains why, even in the midst of pain and suffering, loss and grief, or sadness and depression, you can still feel them. They are always present, no matter what else is. Meditation supports you in experiencing them alongside every changing positive or negative state you may experience.In this module, you’ll discover:The six innate and essential qualities that naturally arise through meditation: joy, wellbeing, love, peace, compassion and loving-kindnessHow to nourish these six essential qualities throughout meditation and your daily lifeHow these six essential qualities are good medicinesThe yoga of sleep that nourishes these six essential qualitiesThe neuroscience of joy and wellbeingSession 5: Waking Up – Advanced Stages of MeditationSeparation & Ego-identity Fall Away (September 6)There arrives a moment in yoga meditation when awareness makes a 180-degree turn upon itself, away from the objects arising in awareness, and inquires as to its source. Here, you wake up from the dream of being a separate self, and ego-identification and separation fall away. As you move beyond ego-identity and separation, your essential nature reveals itself as indescribable yet undeniably recognizable, as forever unchanging yet always fresh and brand new.In waking up, shame, blame, guilt, self-judgment and other negative emotions fall away. You realize your true essence as beyond time, space and boundary. This is your unchanging wholeness, which is always present, loving, compassionate and welcoming. Here, all searching falls away and you awaken into the underlying Mystery that has given birth to you and the entire cosmos.In this module, you’ll explore:The distinction between self and non-selfHow the triune brain creates separation and ego-identitySubtle barriers that obstruct awakeningThe natural process of release from ego-identityAwakening to what lies beyond separationEmbracing your impersonalness amidst personal relationshipsSession 6: Waking Down – Integration of Awakening, Part 1Being Fully Human (September 13)Waking up entails going beyond personal ego-based identity, where you realize your essential nature that lies beyond all conditioned beliefs of being a separate self. In waking up, you realize and celebrate your non-separate and impersonal interconnectedness with everyone and everything around you.The next phase of awakening, “Waking Down,” involves enlightenment of your whole body, where you learn to integrate your awakened disposition of non-separation into the world of daily life, which is steeped in separation. Here, you re-engage your body, mind, emotions and cognitions as messengers that help you survive and thrive in the world. But you do this now with your 7th sense fully awake, which knows no separation even as your mind and five senses perceive separation.Waking down entails stabilizing your ability to experience yourself as a unique personal-impersonal, non-separate expression of life, even as you go about relating and operating in a world that’s based on the myth of separation.In this module, you’ll explore:Paradoxes and myths of enlightenmentWho and what is in control of your lifeDifferences between detachment, dissociation, disidentification and non-attachmentEmbodying the personal and separation amidst the impersonal and non-separationDoing, thinking and living from non-separate beingSession 7: Waking Out – Integration of Awakening, Part 2Meditation as a Way of Living Life (September 20)In “waking out,” you integrate your awakened disposition of non-separation into all of your relationships. Here, you deeply relax into unshakable faith and trust that you always know how to respond to every circumstance that life brings to your door.Waking out entails living as the embodied, non-separate presence that you truly are, feeling interconnected with everything and everyone around you. Wellbeing, compassion and loving-kindness permeate your body, mind, speech and actions as effortless expressions of your essential nature.You live the heartfelt recognition of everyone and everything around you as unique expressions of the underlying Mystery that has given birth to yourself, to them and to the entire cosmos. Here, you live free from ego-identification, and wisdom and love blossom as you embody the heartfelt realization that everything is indeed your self.In this module, you’ll explore:Relaxing into effortless meditationDoing from beingBeing love incarnate: experiencing everything as yourself and yourself as everythingLiving from heart-centered presence in all of your relationshipsThe integration of meditation into every aspect of lifeConnecting with your community of like-minded practitionersNext stepsSalepage : The Art & Science of Yogic Meditation with Richard MillerPurchase The Art & Science of Yogic Meditation with Richard Miller courses at here with PRICE $297 $85
