What is the workshop about?

  • Topics: Essence, Meditation

Silent, Meditative Self-Inquiry is a method to discover that which is never changing: Our True Nature. It was first introduced by Bodhidharma, seen as the founder of Zen, around 1500 years ago. Every spiritual tradition tells us that we already are that which we are seeking. St. Francis said: “The one you are looking for is the one that is looking” This is what I would like us to unpack together in this workshop.

When we combine Meditation with Inquiry, we create a powerful tool for exploring our inner reality, going deeper within ourselves. This will be the direction during the weekend; focusing on experience and feeling rather than thinking, since every thought, moving through our mind also resonates within our body Our emotional body is the “laboratory” where the spiritual work and healing happens. This workshop is not so much about “feeling better”, but to make you “getting better at feeling”. Deeper healing can happen when we become more sensitive in listening to- and to have a “felt sense” of what moves in our inner world.

Silent, Meditative Self-Inquiry is the tool that we gradually cultivate in this exploration.

Together we will experience:

  • Guided meditations on how to bypass the mind during meditation.
  • Practical tools how to find grounding in the body and mindfulness in daily life.
  • Sufi exercises, to have an experience of deeper presence

Finding ways to avoid getting stuck in our mind during meditating. If we look into it, we might realize that it is often our mind that is trying to meditate. When we sit, the stillness that we try to reach is already at hand, but we overlook it in an effort to reach something else. “I don´t want this experience, I want another experience”

Buddha was once asked to put his teaching into one sentence. He said “Everything is always changing and becoming otherwise”. Much of our suffering arises from resisting this constant change and flow of life. When we grasp, resist and try to hold on to that which is constantly changing we will experience what is sometimes described as “rope burn” like trying to hold on to a moving rope. This workshop will help you let go of resisting life as it is unfolding day by day, moment to moment.

What you will learn in this workshop:

  • How to be more present in daily life and grounded in the body.
  • How to allow space around negative and destructive thought patterns.
  • How to become more intimate with your breath and how to use breath as an anchor in your meditation and in your daily life.
  • How to enter deeper layers of stillness in your meditation by recognizing and avoiding the most common obstacles.
