Streaming Manish Vyas: "A Conscious Approach to Meditation"
Saturday 28 march 17:00 - 18:30
This 1-hour guided meditation is taught in English.
Theory and Practice with Manish Vyas
Manish Vyas will share his insights on Meditation and then dive into the technique. He will end the session with an introduction of the subject of "mantra" and will provide the details of the mantra for people to play for themselves after the live session. He will instruct all to listen to that mantra in a certain way for approx. 10 min. - meaning, the ending part they will do by themselves with the mantra (which will also be available in online platforms.)
The Meditation is called SAT-CHIT-ANANDA. It is a very passive, breath-oriented technique to come close to the Self, the spontaneous true nature of one’s being. Especially in the modern age, where one can get very identified with the body and the fears surrounding its survival, being overwhelmed with the information and known and unknown worries of the so-called future, this technique is helpful to bring one to the centre, relaxing into the present moment, allowing the acceptance to grow. With the attentive breath movements, one is directed towards grounding into then body and mind, coming in contact with the core of the being.

Style: Meditation
Most of the time, our mind is ruminating about the future or reminiscing about the past. When we reduce this mental chatter through meditation, we feel deeply present, connected, and alive. Life becomes clear, simple, and serene, and our natural state of joy immediately manifests. To practice meditation, we withdraw our senses from the outside world and concentrate on a single focal point. It can be visual like the image of an inspiring spiritual figure. It can be auditory like a mantra which is considered to be a mystical power encased in a sound structure. It can be the breath which always exists in the present moment. It can be a thought, like the contemplation on one's deepest essence. We offer guided meditation at 1-hour Sunday afternoon gatherings held once a month and which include breathing exercises and other preparatory practices or as part of our 1-hour Sunday 20:00 yoga nidra streaming which also take places once a month.

Teacher: Manish Vyas
Manish Vyas is a professional musician and composer, singer, multi-instrumentalist from Gujarat, India who has learned and played since childhood Indian music and later focused in particular on sacred and devotional music like mantras, kirtan, and other types of higher music expressions from the ancient tradition from India. Beyond the spiritual value behind this music, his main focus is on the intrinsic power of sound, also known as naad yoga, which, combined with the right music, can be an incredible powerful tool to be used for the wellbeing and balance of the physical and subtle bodies - body, mind, soul.
Manish has gone through a long path as a spiritual seeker. He has been with Osho since he was a child until Osho left the body. Later and still today, he has been closely connected to his master Gurudev, with whom he has coordinated 40-day retreats and meditations in India under his master's guidance and inspiration. Manish himself has done many 40 days retreats and prolonged silence periods during all these years, in different places in India while following the work of his master. In his retreats he shares those ancient tools which had been passed to him the last 30 years, to go deeper into oneself and as a path to ultimately discover our true nature.
