Become an Active Learner, and Embody the Theory of Meditation.

Many modern people read yogic and meditational texts, and they make of it what they want. In turn, meditation becomes something aligned with the modern wellness industry. But this is not the traditional way.

In order to truly integrate yogic worldviews and wisdom, you have to engage it with curiosity, adventure, freedom, and open-mindedness. Meditation is an important set of practices that allows you to break the cycle of "passive learning" and engage traditions in a deep, transformative, first-personal way.

What is the ultimate nature of one's self? What is the ultimate nature of the world? What is reality, in the first place? What is the divine, or god? What is the relationship between these entities?

In understanding metaphysical realities, we are on the way to recovering the nature of our self and its capacity to access an innate bliss beyond the fluctuations of transient life. This is what traditional yogic teachings tell us and what this course is all about.

Participants will explore what doesn't get talked about enough: why and how meditation works. This knowledge isn't important simply for the sake of some intellectual exercise. By engaging with the theories of meditation, we empower the practice of meditation itself. Like when a physical therapist helps us understand why we experience certain physical symptoms and we are inspired to do the prescribed exercises, it is similar with regards to meditation. Knowledge inspires practice.
