AWARENESS MEDITATION

FIVE-LESSON FOUNDATION COURSE

with PETER WRYCZA, PhD

In this five-lesson course, we provide instruction in the theory and practice of the basic method of ‘Awareness Meditation’ - an important part of the daily routine at Nirarta.

The basic practice of Awareness Meditation is simple and effortless. It does not require any prior knowledge or ability. Anyone can practise it successfully with a little instruction.

Awareness Meditation naturally facilitates the awakening of consciousness and its integration in daily life. As a result, we come to enjoy more stability, clarity, creativity, health, and delight in all we encounter.

During the programme, we take time to review experiences and to deepen our understanding of the practice of meditation, so as to support our ability to draw on meditative states consistently in everyday life.

During this coure, you are also invited to join the group practice at Nirarta. Meditating together as a group, as we settle deep into our own awareness, we also enliven the group field of consciousness. This strengthens and deepens our own experience and helps build a sense of community.

Awareness Meditation is normally taught at Nirarta over two and a half consecutive days in five lessons, each approximately one and a half hours in length.
