21 Stages of Meditation: Kundalini Journeys for Self-Realization
In Person Option and Live Online
Physical Location: Ojai California (Soul Body Ojai Studio)
Virtual: Worldwide and Recorded
Meditation may be best understood as progressive stages of growth, or journeys, that provide different ways of encountering and realizing your infinite and eternal Self.
In these three journeys, you will learn to deepen your awareness and consciousness by progressing through the 21 stages of mediation that are common to all contemplative traditions.
While all three Journeys are best experienced collectively, you may take one, two or all the journeys independently and in any sequence you wish. Each Journey delivers you to a different experience and understanding of meditation and yourself.
First Journey: The Crystalline Self
May 14-15 • 9am-5:30pm Pacific Time
In this two-day meditation intensive, you will experience and recognize the crystal clarity that comes from the first seven steps of meditation. You will learn how to use meditation to separate yourself from emotions, commotions and impulses and bring your focus to a point of stillness, or essence, of the Self.
Second Journey: The Expressive Self
June 4-5 • 9am-5:30pm Pacific Time
During this two-day journey into meditation, you will develop a sensitivity to your True Self and learn how to project that into the world around you and into your relationships. You will be able to recognize the various roles you play, and how to express your authentic self in these roles and all your actions and interactions.
Third Journey: The Transcendent Self
July 9-10 • 9am-5:30pm Pacific Time
Within this weekend you will have the tools to elevate the finite sense of self into the infinite experience of the soul. You will be able to release old self-limiting patterns and experience the love, compassion and kindness that is the core of your nature. At the peak of this journey, you can connect to the intuitive presence that projects innocence, bliss, and light.
All journeys are recorded if you need to time shift or review the course later.
