Meditation has been a cornerstone of my life for over 30 years.
I have studied many traditions, and am blessed to have been initiated into Siddha Meditation by my beloved Baba in 1976.

I am happy to share what I know about meditation, to make it accessible and easy to practice.

If you have never explored meditation, I can introduce you to a practice which nourishes the heart and soul.

If you've tried to meditate, and found it difficult, I can show you ways to use stretching, breathing, and posture to make it much more comfortable.

We can begin with a conversation, in person or by phone, to discuss what you've experienced in the past.

I may then suggest some preparatory sessions of TantraYoga and/or Mystical Massage to relax your body and quiet your mind.

Then we can explore the four limbs of "inner Yoga" practice:

Pratyahara -
withdrawal of the senses in order to still the mind.
Dharana -
finding an attractive focus for the mind, to bring it to "one-pointed concentration". We'll explore whether you find it easier to concentrate on sounds, visual images, or body sensations, or some combination.
When Dharana is achieved, it leads to the next step:
Dhyana -
meditation is that state of pure thought and absorption in the object of meditation. There is still duality in Dhyana. When mastered Dhyana leads to the last step:
Samadhi -
the superconscious state. In Samadhi non-duality or oneness is experienced. This is the deepest and highest state of consciousness where body and mind have been transcended and the Yogi is one with the Self or God.

If you wish, I will share with you the practices I learned from my Baba:

Bhakti (devotional chanting) using traditional
Mantra (sacred syllables).

Cost: 30-minute phone consultation is FREE.
Preparations to meditate: $95 for 90 minutes [sliding scale],
at my peaceful Stanley Park studio, for 1 or 2 people.

Note: The time we spend actually practicing [chanting/meditating] together is without charge.

"Chanting the
Names of God
is the hightest state."
