By providing a solitary kind of experience (as seen in a cave), access to deep level of consciousness and serious aspiration for the Divine is created. There is also a shift in focus to the inner being which ultimately awakens and flourishes the soul (jivatman). This is a unique way of integrating Tantra, Sufism, Advaita Vedanta, and Dzogchen.
As practice advances, there is a harmonious merge of all paths of realistic spiritual traditions into a single indescribable reality. In the course of the Hridaya Silent Meditation Retreat, you will learn to surrender your quest for meaning and completely yield to revelation. This is not a form of advanced meditation for a special set of people, rather, it is for beginners and also the advanced meditators.
Why this Retreat?
The aim of this retreat is to introduce practitioners to several methods of meditation, but not constricted to uniting consciousness and Advaita Vedanta, in order to achieve a personal discovery of the Spiritual Heart. The meditation scheme focuses on Ramana Maharshi developed methods, the atma vicera, also known as the inquiry – “who am I?”, and other corresponding meditations and prayers.
We want to let you know that this method includes both theoretical and practical aspects, hence providing basis for personal practice. With this, we believe that the basic principles as well as the benefits of meditation will be known to you, so as to personally unlock all the benefits and thereby make meditation a vital part of your life.
