Vedanta & Meditation

For over 20 years, with the guidance of my revered teachers listed above, I revel in the vision of Vedanta, A means of knowledge, a vision of wholeness revealing our limitless self, whole and complete. All that is here, is sacred in the Vedic Vision. Everything given to us is abundance. This means of knowledge removes self ignorance which is the cause of all pain and suffering.

Here I embrace that I am the ever stable, presence in and through all the myriad miracles that continuously take place.

Meditation informed by this means of knowledge, invites the meditator to acknowledge one’s Presence, this Being, that has been present before it was born to this incarnation, Even after death this being will always exist. This beingness, this existence, is Sacred. You are Sacred, Life is Sacred, all that is here is Sacred.

The Universe is always conspiring to help us gain everything, more happiness that has no reason, a sense of satisfaction for the simple fact of Being, of existing, of living. A heart that is calm, trusting and open. A mind that is loving, supportive and helpful, leisure in life, a sense of belonging and deep gratitude for all that is. Emotional Maturity, that of an integrated person, that no longer feels a sense of helplessness. Presence that abides in feeling empowered.

We cannot control outer circumstances, but we can control how we respond to them. These practices and teachings help us to access the deeper energy of our being and thus respond courageously. Instead of contracting in fear, we open in tenderness. Instead of pushing away the pain, we welcome it as our teacher. When we learn the lesson it came to teach us, it transforms us into love and compassion, for this, the meditative mind is essential.

When we use yogic practices and meditation, our life force flows more easily in our bodies. From there, our minds start to relax, even in times of great stress or uncertainty, we are reminded that through form, we get to the formless. Embracing all opposites with unconditional love and acceptance. We learn to accept all that is given with gratitude, even the unpleasant, is a blessing in disguise.

This means of knowledge is the abode of validation, the abode of love, the abode of the whole universe in one small form.

From this place of acceptance, I can offer my gratitude for all that is given. I can resolve my unresolved issues, I can find trust in the infallible one, trustworthy, non manipulative all powerful Conscious Being. I am mirrored again and again as the source of love, happiness and security. From this place of presence, I surrender, and take refuge in sacred order.
