An important key to spiritual Awakening is regular spiritual practice that relies upon natural surrender to the transcendent reality of who we truly are. Regular spiritual practice aligns us with our true nature, increasing our receptivity to its universal presence, and preparing us to receive the grace of Awakening.
The intention of meditation is to systematically transcend our sense of personal self through natural surrender into the growing recognition of our transcendent nature. For this, the process of “transcending” is essential. Transcending is like a snow plow that clears obstacles in our path to Awakening. Through transcending we become increasingly familiar with and aware of our deeper nature. With the systematic engagement of transcending through appropriate, effortless meditation we prepare for the moment when Awakening spontaneously occurs through grace.
Meditation must be simple, natural, and effortless to be most effective. Many of us mistakenly apply effort and vigilance to manipulate our minds, believing it will be helpful to our spiritual path. We may think this will quell our thoughts or feelings to our advantage, but it does not. Effort and vigilance reinforce our resistance to going deeper, limiting us, impeding our progress, and restraining the degree to which we can transcend mind and surrender to Divine Presence.
In the most sophisticated spiritual traditions, there are many stages and methods of meditation offered to students as they progress. This approach is often lost in modern teachings where a fixed menu of spiritual practice is offered to everyone. The value of an awakened peer who has an in-depth understanding of the subtle mechanics and benefits of each meditation method is of great value in assisting the meditator to determine what method is appropriate at each stage of one’s spiritual unfoldment.
There are many methods of meditation taught here, chosen to meet the needs of each individual. There is no one meditation that is maximally effective for everyone. A meditation method that is highly effective for someone today, may not be as effective a year from now. Experience and observation shows that those who want to maximize their results from meditation may need to shift to or add another meditation practice from time to time. A change or refinement in our practice can be a powerful catalyst to our spiritual growth.
Meditation is usually taught one-on-one to ensure proper and thorough instruction, though some practices offered can be taught to groups. Suitable group meditations are often part of Full Dawn Circle online gatherings.
Deep Cycle Meditation™
Deep Cycle Meditation™ is a group of effortless meditation practices derived from ancient traditions and modern exploration. Each practice relies on the native intelligence of mind, body, and attention to naturally carry through the cyclical flow of transcending mind, and the releasing of stress to go deeper into your true nature.
The process of deepening and releasing prepares you for the stroke of Awakening. With each cycle you draw closer to the realization of your true nature, the true reality of who you are, and the growing peace, love, joy, and light inherent in our source nature. Deep Cycle Meditation™ is taught in one-on-one vide conferencing in a series of 3-4 one-hour sessions over 3-4 days. Inquire about fees for meditation.
