RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Meditation Experiences — Part 3

Would you like to live each day with greater well being and joy?

What does it mean if you hear sounds or see light during meditation? What if you feel a sense of expansion and universal consciousness? Meditation opens a whole new dimension of experience. Find out what these experiences are and why they are so beneficial. Even if you’re not yet  having these experiences, meditation will soon bring many benefits into your life, allowing you to live in joy and freedom.

Go Farther with Meditation, Higher Consciousness, Soul/Inner Self
  • Learn the meaning of the inner light and sounds experienced by meditators
  • Practice techniques for greater awareness of these inner sounds and inner light
  • Meditation experiences may include expansion or a movement towards universal consciousness, which may lead to samadhis or bhavas (explained in Part 1)
  • Meditation often brings greater insight into one’s character and life events
  • Whatever the inner experiences, meditation can only enhance one’s life
  • Two of the main characteristics of a successful meditator:  common sense and cheerfulness

Essential Understandings

There are essential understandings one must have when undertaking a whole new world, a new dimension of experience, such as meditation. While meditation is natural, we are often unfamiliar with it. Getting to know how it works, what it means, and how to cooperate with it is very important and leads to wonderful results.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
