'Our very humanness is the doorway to our spiritual connection. The vicissitudes of the embodied life are themselves a bridge to the Self. There is no need to escape to some wished-for transcendent realm. As we turn to embrace the world, and our own lives, we will discover that our suffering, conflicts, misfortunes, and neuroses are windows into the real, the divine, the true nature of our mind and heart.' - Stephen Cope
Join me, and our lovely international community of meditators, for a 28-day journey inward toward the center of your being, the place the ancient scriptures describe as 'beyond the reach of all suffering,' and name 'the lotus of the heart.' Becoming more and more established in this lotus center grants us greater peace, clarity, joy, and grace as we navigate both our inner and our outer worlds.
WE RISE is a daily guided meditation sādhanā, or devoted spiritual practice, with a group of dedicated practitioners from around the world. We have been gathering via Zoom since the summer of 2020, and we have grown together as individuals, and collectively.
Continuing on the path of Vishoka Meditation®, this round of WE RISE builds on the subtle awareness we have developed at Ajna Chakra, and begins to transition this awareness to the heart. The practice is intended to establish a meaningful, intimate engagement with meditation which has the power to ultimately guide you home to your essential, sacred self, also known as the lotus of the heart.
The techniques shared are all drawn from Vishoka Meditation®, incorporating what is known as 'stage one,' as well as a collection of the pranayama techniques offered in the Self-Mastery-Series. Each of these techniques is aimed at cultivating an intimate relationship with prana, which then guides us lovingly and effortlessly home to who we are at the level of the 'heart.' Pranic sensitivity is the key to gaining a direct experience of the sacred aspects of life, granting us a special intimacy with the divine - both in us, and the world in which we live.
Vishoka Meditation® is a gift of the Himalayan Tradition, made accessible to this generation through the writing, teaching, and loving guidance of Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, known affectionately as Panditji.
