The Whispered Teachings - One Day Classes
The Whispered Teachings includes a series of one day gatherings focused on the practical and continuous application of ancient Taoist, Buddhist, 4th Way and shamanic teachings into our everyday life's circumstances.
These day long gatherings will be run by a group of people working closely with Ram Chatlani and will include practical guidance, discourse, body energy work and group meditations.
The Teachings
All these teachings come directly from essence and concern being of service to others, equanimity and virtue. We will explore and perceive directly how the purification of our being might enable transformation to occur at an individual and group level for the benefit of all beings.
We will be looking specifically at the psychology of our condition and the way in which habit patterns, self-importance, negative emotions and self-pity manifest. We will also explore the work of the energy centres and identify where we are losing energy. This gives us a framework of where to look in our being and to recognise our condition. Once we know our condition we can employ the antidotes.
At the centre of your being you have the answer
— Lao Tzu
This work will help to focus our awareness and allow energy to move away from the habitual patterns of thinking and behaving and more towards the feeling centre, the heart. Through gradual and continuous efforts of observation and self-cultivation we discover the potential of loosening the mask or the veil that denies us the opportunity of true clarity.
Body Energy WorkThe body energy work will involve practising a powerful and profound set of movements designed to promote health, longevity and well-being. Through these movements we will begin to embody cosmic awareness. This means the awareness lives and breathes in us through experience in the physical body. These movements also prepare the mind to let go, so that it becomes more comfortable with taking no object and will ultimately rest in the great stillness of universal mind.
Meditation
We will be exploring a series of simple but powerful meditation techniques that can help us to relax and develop concentration and mindfulness. The challenge of concentration and mindfulness is at the very root of spiritual attainment. These techniques will also help to overcome a mind that wants to grab hold of something.
There will be a small fee of between £15 and £20 to cover the cost of the venue. This will be confirmed on application.
