In
Yogic as well as Buddhist traditions, meditation is they key
to release our suffering and awaken our hidden potential for
unlimited
joy, compassion and kindness. In this retreat, we will explore a realm
of meditation that is common to both traditions - the awareness of
breathing.
From the Yogic tradition the multitude of
pranayama techniques strengthen and heighten the awareness of the life
force. From the Buddhist tradition, the
Anapanasati Sutra gives instructions on how to use the breath to enter
the realm
of profound awareness. Combined together the mix of Yogic and Buddhist techniques
provides an easily accessible yet wonderfully powerful method to bring
us to our
own True Self. |
Although we will be primarily focused on
direct experiences of the
meditative state, when enhanced with a moderate amount of
asana practice, the integrated experience of
ourselves is one of relaxed energy, joyful
and free.
