Yoga for Meditation

Meditation is the true heart of Yoga. It is the pinnacle practice for which the other techniques are preparing us. It has the power to heal, illuminate, and give insight. It can empower us with new capacities and strengths, and it is essentially connected to who we are at our core. 

Practiced appropriately, meditation can help us develop a deep, calm, and stable focus and also return us back to our most authentic self. These are core elements of developing and maintaining balance and a positive state of wellbeing.

Sustainable change only happens with regular practice, but as you’ve probably experienced, it can be difficult to attempt or commit to alone. Our weekly Wednesday Morning Meditations can be very helpful in supporting you to develop the habit of a regular practice.

Prerequisites

If you are new to studying with us, we strongly recommend you first take our Understanding Viniyoga Meditation online course before joining Wednesday Morning Meditation. The background given in Understanding Viniyoga Meditation will greatly enhance your experience within Wednesday Morning Meditation.

The Application of Meditation 

Meditation is powerful. And subtle. And wonderful! It is both a process – something we attempt to do – and an experience – something that happens which is beyond our doing or control.
How you prepare your mind & body for the meditation (the techniques you choose) creates the foundation for the meditative experience because it infuses the practice with the qualities of those techniques. This crucial step helps to create the right state for your meditation to work and sets up the trajectory the experience is likely to follow.

Take this experience even further. Learn the actual structures present in a meditation and how to adjust them to elicit different experiences in the meditation.

The Application of Meditation class takes the tools and practices from our Wednesday Morning Meditations and explains them. It is an in-depth review and reflection on the structures that generated the experiences you had. Through this process you will learn about the what, how and why of meditation, especially the application of meditation!
