Topic Of The Next Wisdom Circle Meeting
Recognising Attachment While Meditating
When meditating most of us go through multiple thoughts that hijack our attention. The standard meditation instruction is to return to the breath.
However some times it is helpful to notice what is the content of the distraction and of the underlying attachment.
In this wisdom circle we will go through a mindfulness meditation practice that includes some opportunity for contemplation about our distractions.
Contemplative practices provide insights and allow subconscious aspects of the psyche to become conscious. When that which is hidden becomes known, there is an opportunity to work on unhelpful tendencies that were thus far unknown.
What Is The Wisdom Circle About?
While, the journey of self-awareness can be a greatly rewarding and fulfilling one, one often needs the guidance of mentors and the support of fellow travellers. The Wisdom Circle is created with a vision to provide you with such support and ensure that your awareness deepens and practice strengthens. It is a safe space to share your journey, learn from the insights and doubts of others, renew your practice when you need motivation and meditate together.
What To Expect From A Wisdom Circle Meeting?
The idea of the wisdom circle is to focus on lived wisdom. The emphasis is on the practical and experiential aspects of self-awareness teachings that will lend more enrichment and meaning to life.
The wisdom circle meetings will have multiple formats, some oriented to deepening concepts, some focused on strengthening practice, yet others focused on discussions and sharings. The different kind of formats will ensure all round learning and growth.
People who have attended previous courses with us, have meditated elsewhere or want to start a new practice are all welcome to be a part of this community. The teachings that will be discussed have a self-awareness orientation and include mindfulness meditation, other kinds of meditations, concepts and principles belonging to Indian/eastern philoshpical traditions like buddhist schools of thought, advaita and patanjalis yoga traditions, best practices from the fields of psychology, neuroscience and western philosophical concepts. The main aim is to use the understanding provided by different traditions to find one’s own truth within and live an authentic and aware life.
