Mondays, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m. CT
June 8 – June 15 (2 classes)
We live in a world that keeps our thoughts and emotions in a state of constant restlessness. This state of inner restlessness is not merely uncomfortable but lies at the root of much of our sorrow, anxiety, and the subtle sense of incompleteness that shadows modern life.
Who are we, beneath the ceaseless movement of our minds and bodies? How can we engage in an inward journey to experience our true nature?
Drawing on a rich body of contemplative wisdom from the Theosophical tradition, this meditation workshop guides participants through a structured practice in which consciousness is gradually withdrawn from its identification with the body, emotions, and mind, in search of the Witness, the Higher Self.
During the two sessions, participants will be introduced to two complementary approaches:
Week 1 — Via Positiva
- Recognize the physical, emotional, and mental bodies as instruments rather than the self
- Harmonize these bodies to allow the ascent of consciousness toward the inner self
- Meditate on the qualities of the higher self to begin to realize its nature
- Recognize yourself as the immortal spiritual self—free, joyous, and inseparable from the universal life
Week 2 — Via Negativa
- Examine body, emotion, and thought in search of that which is unchanging
- Systematically set aside all that is impermanent
- Rest awareness on that which cannot be set aside
- Abide in the stillness that follows, allowing higher consciousness to arise of its own accord
The class will balance verbal instruction and guided practice to support insight and practice in daily life.
