Meditation & The Mind: Awakening Our Spiritual Heart
– Guru Nanak
This 60-hour training offers an in-depth look at the yogic model of the mind and the practice and application of meditation. The yoga tradition emphasizes that learning to be still and calm is a universal requirement for the human being. Our normal state of agitation and unrest does not allow us to experience our underlying nature of immense joy and happiness. This joy exists in the present moment once we have learned to release the mind from its tendency to dwell in grooves of its old habit patterns, or imaginations of the future.
The purpose of this immersion is to light the fire of your inner inquiry, to help you establish and deepen a meditation practice, overcome inner resistance, and discover the joy and infinite opportunities that exist when you gain access to the higher mind. Become more skillful in decision making. Awaken to higher wisdom and creativity. Learn a variety of meditation techniques and their purpose. Apply these ideas and principles of mediation in your own practice, life and teaching.

Meditation is the royal road to understanding your mind and cycles of thinking.
Through the practices of meditation we develop an ability to concentrate and penetrate beneath the surface thoughts into greater states of awareness and bliss. The true aim of meditation practices is to induce the spontaneous state of meditation. As a practice, meditation can be used to train the mind, to allow neutrality in the face of any circumstances, and to attain certain states of consciousness.
Meditation has been practiced in many sacred traditions, but also it has become very rooted and proven in secular applications without the necessity of one particular philosophy or religion. All meditation traditions seek to help students know their innermost nature.
Meditation carries different meaning in different contexts. In classical and Kundalini yoga, meditation is a process that brings us into relationship with ourselves, and helps us to build a bridge between the outer and inner worlds. The true fruits of life begin to ripen when we learn to be still, when we gain control of our thoughts, sensations, emotions, and urges. We learn to cultivate our discriminative power that enables us to navigate both our inner and outer world with skill and grace.
In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, meditation is described as the controlling of the thought waves of mind in order to sit established in our own ‘self essence.’ This self-essence is often referred to as our spiritual heart, or center of oneness. It is here we recognize what the Vedic Sages called ‘Tat Tvam Asi’ which translates as ‘The Ultimate Reality is you’, or ‘thou art thou’.

“I signed up to Kia’s training because I wanted to learn from a teacher that will equip me to teach in these modern times.

Kia is such a warm and beautiful human being, you are in such safe hands for your education and personal growth.
