Transforming the Ordinary into the Sacred - August Monthly Meeting Talk
What does it mean to see life as a ceremony - a ceremony made up of a series of ritualistic acts. What is the role of ritual and how does it function to help us find significance in the mundane. Through exploring our relationship to life as a tapestry of ritualistic acts, we can reflect on the process of meditation both as a formal practice and informally as a way of being at one in the world.

Experiencing Meditation and the Practice of Entering the Subtle - July Monthly Meeting
Просмотров 5721 день назад
Regular meditation practice gives us a chance to explore reality as we experience it at a more subtle level. Over time, although we are likely to become familiar with the meditative process and what it allows us to observe, there is always a great deal which remains beyond our capacity to define. How then, are we to measure our progress as practitioners? #meditate, #experiencethesubtle, #beyond...
Knowing What We Want & The Pain It Causes - June Monthly Meeting
Просмотров 792 месяца назад
The human condition can be characterised by an endless pursuit of satisfaction which is in direct conflict with an ongoing experience of discontent. Navigating these contradictory forces causes a tension in the life of every human being which quite often results in suffering. While we may know at a conscious level what we want, how we think, speak and behave might fail us in being able to find ...

Restlessness and the Human Condition - May Monthly Meeting
Просмотров 652 месяца назад
This life is one of movement and change. What drives this movement and change lies at the core of the human condition. It is what causes us restlessness. How this restlessness manifests and expresses itself is relative to our capacity to understand its origins. As we gain greater insight into the origins of restlessness we empower ourselves to channel and direct it in ways which are of use. A d...
How Do We Overcome Distraction
Просмотров 303 месяца назад
#kriyayoga #paramahansayogananda #royeugenedavis #theyogisway #yamasandniyamas #yogadublin Distraction is a consequence of how we relate to our minds. In yoga what occurs at an energetic (emotional) and physical level is determined by what is going on at a mental level. If we find ourselves unable to engage in life without becoming distracted it is as a result of the noise in our minds being so...
Benefit of Therapy for Yoga Practitioners
Просмотров 184 месяца назад
The objective of psychoanalytical psychotherapy and yoga are comparable in that both aim to help the practitioner to understand who they are in relation to the I function or the imaginary ego. People can be drawn to psychotherapy for many different reasons. Fundamentally, however what attracts someone to psychotherapy is the same as what draws someone to yoga - to want to overcome suffering. #f...

Know Who You Are

Psychological wellbeing is one of the fundamental goals of the practice of yoga.
