This 40 day immersion will expand your meditation practice with guidance in weekly sessions led by Siri Bahadur and the support of practitioners who will share your experience. Consistency is key with meditation and with the encouragement of community, we will make it fun and accessible to maintain a daily practice!
Together, we will focus on one mantra for 40 days. Meditating daily for 40 days will allow you to begin mastering the effects of the meditation, as well as create a life-promoting habit. It takes up to 40 days to form a new habit (or break an old one), so during our journey, you may find that you have created a habit that you won't want to miss! Whether you have attempted or completed a meditation for 40 consecutive days or if this will be your first, we are excited to embark on this journey together!
The weekly gatherings and the smaller supportive pods we establish with one another will support our daily practice. They will both enrich and empower our self concept and creative projection. We will have the chance to discover that we can investigate and make adjustments that elevate our life experience.
What is the mantra meditation for this immersion?
This 40 Day Meditation Immersion will offer the experience of "Ang Sang Wahe Guru." This mantra translates to: Divine Life exists within the very fiber of my being.
How does this meditation apply to my life?
It signifies a merging of individual consciousness with the universal consciousness, experiencing the divine presence within oneself. The mantra aims to dispel loneliness, increase courage, and connect one to the sacred essence of all creation. This mantra resonates deeply into one of the basic truths of existence; that Divine Creative Intelligence, or God or Life exists within and behind the fabric of All That Is. That Divine Presence is within every cell and fiber, every sub-atomic particle of your being. This means that Universal Mind which created everything didn’t just conceive of the Cosmos, say the magic words and then leave to do something else, but actually is present and active within each of us and all that exists. The power to be, the gift of co-creativity, and the Intelligence that holds everything in harmony, law and order is the Animator of you, Nature, mountains, oceans, bugs and the very air we breathe.
As we engage with the sound frequency of this mantra, we have the opportunity to go deeply into the realization of our relationship with Divine Life. We will have a chance to escape from our hypnotic existence of being self absorbed, ego-centric toddlers, who are obsessed with I, Me, and Mine, to opening our awareness so we can touch and relate to the Unconditionally Loving Source of all that is being.
In these polarizing and challenging times of being immersed in the us versus them orientation of ego-centric existence, we will instead find That which unites us, not only with one another, but with everything we can sense and experience from the densest of elements to the most sublime vibrations of beauty and wonder. Join us in the adventure of the search for Meaning and the Truth of Existence - the Lover, the Beloved and the Love that flows between Them.
In this course you will:
· Explore techniques for a successful 40 Day Meditative Practice
· Develop a deeper understanding of the Meditation and its benefits
· Learn how to maintain an impactful daily sadhana
· Partner with like-minded peers for integration and accountability between sessions
· Participate in advanced group meditations and discussions
· Opportunity to attend additional small group meet-up sessions to build community and meditate together
How will this 40 Day experience work?
We will meet each Friday (see schedule below) either IN PERSON or ONLINE to discuss, meditate and consider various facets of the mantra. Can't make the live session or want to experience it again? Recordings will be provided after each session, so you can continue with the group to fit your schedule.
As we break down the components of the mantra together, we will expand our ability to hold its various qualities as guidelines for our thoughts, perceptions and behavior. In addition to your personal experience of the sacred sounds, we will encourage participant interaction to share the challenges and developing qualities gained with our practice. We will also partner up to provide additional support in between sessions. You can attend the series with a friend or find new friends and discover an inclusive, vibrant and supportive community of devoted yogi(in)is.
As our meditative journey progresses, we will gradually build our practice together to investigate how this experience unfolds for us individually and as a collective. For your personal practice, it is not necessary to increase the duration, but you will have the opportunity to experience the longer meditations as we progress with our weekly meetings to see how we may notice these benefits of extended practice:
11 minutes: Changes glandular system and nerves.
22 minutes: Balances and coordinates the three minds.
31 minutes: Affects all the cells and rhythms of the body and all layers of the mind’s projection.
