PURE
MEDITATION is the Jewel Beyond Compare
The ancient, yet ever-new and blissful state of Pure
Meditation is
handed from Guru to chosen disciple and chosen disciple to others. In
no other
way can this Meditation ever be truly given. 'Guru' means 'dispeller of
darkness', thus to have a True Guru means that Light is shed over,
within and around us so that we can see more clearly our own true
selves and our own path.
As we progress in our individual and planetary evolution there comes a
time when we need to consciously enhance this process. Pure
Meditation is given by the Masters for this purpose.
This should not be confused with visualization, relaxation or other
meditative states.
Pure Meditation is a specific form of concentration which, in real
meaning, applies only in connection with consciously tuning in with
Cosmic Consciousness and cosmic supply. With the eternal
science and art of Pure Meditation, which includes the highest Raja
and
Kriya Yoga, you can gradually awaken the cosmic power to
control your
own destiny and prevent failure and dis-ease. By Pure
Meditation, we are withdrawing from our five sense telephones, relaxing
our muscles, heart, our complete body until we can transcend to a state
of bliss - extreme awareness, with blissful joy.
If you practice faithfully and with
devotion, this joyous state will stay with you night and day; it will
guide you to right action in everything you do and say. This
is true, and therefore all other desires will dwindle in comparison;
but you must try the 'fruit' of Pure Meditation yourself.
Then, and only then, will you know the true taste of Bliss and know
that what is said - is true.
Pure Meditation in essence is a way of
life, and should be put into our life, not separated from it.
This ancient art of Pure Meditation goes
back beyond time, and yet is now still full of truth, wisdom and
fulfillments. It has all the essence of its lineage, but with
science and spirituality going hand in hand, you get there faster - you
can fly to Self-Realization - why not?
Pure Meditation must be taught properly;
for like anything worthwhile, it has its pitfalls. If you
want to climb mountains you must have a good guide, who knows the way
and knows what the problems are. So it is with
true, Pure Meditation. It is our spiritual food;
without it we starve, as much of the world is doing today. It
gives us all we need to live our life in peace, with love and wisdom;
it helps deepen our work and play. We become at one with Life.
The Oneness in Pure Meditation.
The Centre teaches and guides you in
Pure Meditation under the guidance of Mata Yogananda
Mahasaya Dharma,
so that nothing in method or essence is missed, and all may be helped
to Self-Realization.
Pure Meditation students can develop further through Pure Meditation
Refreshers and the Blessing of the Kriya One Breath and Initiation.
Before enrolling in this course please ask to speak with
one of our Meditation teachers. Continuing Support is always available following any course or workshop.
The Meditation Foundation Class
Of value in all walks of life, Meditation Foundation training - which
includes the Meditative Peace breath - helps you to be in charge of how
you feel physically, mentally and emotionally. It takes only an hour to
learn and a few minutes to practice each day. A valuable first step
towards learning in-depth Pure Meditation, it is also complete in its
own right. It helps to reduce stress and emotional reactions and
improve concentration, so that natural talents, abilities and memory
can be developed.
Meditative Peace can be practiced anywhere - at your desk, before
interviews, meetings or performances, when studying or taking exams,
after a hectic day, before and after picking up the children from
school, for relaxation and to ensure a better night's sleep. It will
help to balance blood pressure, reduce the risk of headaches, help
relieve pain and tension, and can bring peace, serenity and health.
Meditation Foundation is for all ages from 5 years to 105. Individual
training by appointment and classes in small groups are offered at the
Centre.
Meditation Foundation may also be arranged at your location. Continuing Support is always available following any course or workshop.
