Revealing The Silence Within

Self-enquiry and Meditation



True meditation is the awareness of the effortless infinite expanse of Being. This Being, Peace or Stillness is always here Now.

The Realisation of our true radiant nature of Being is hidden by our tendencies to identify with the movements of the mind. Our lack of acceptance of “what is” causes mental reactions creating inner turmoil and suffering. We can feel hurt, guilty and ashamed of what has happened in the past and have anxiety and worry about the future. Our minds are continually pulled between the past and future creating further fear, hurt and anger. Instead of perceiving Reality purely “as it is” moment to moment, we create an apparent reality that is filtered through our conditioned mind that is based on the past. This apparent reality originates from our sense of separation from Being and the fear this separation creates. Apparent reality is essentially a mind -created illusion.

The past is forever gone and the future is a mental concept, essentially nonexistent. The Now is constantly present. All phenomena – including body, thought, feeling and sense perception- is transient and in a continual state of change. All phenomena appear and dissolve in the Now, the eternal moment. The Now isn’t an object or a state but has qualities of Stillness, Peace and Being.

Meditation and Self Inquiry directs one’s attention to be conscious of the Now. When we consciously embrace the moment, the accumulation of past pain, fear and anger can be released and dissolved, creating more clarity, peace and harmony. Naturally and effortlessly we become consciously present of our essence of Being, moment to moment. Being, Peace or Stillness is not “something” to be gained but is revealed, through openness and surrender, as who we truly and fundamentally are.

Retreats



A Meditation Retreat is a wonderful opportunity to quietly look within. When we retreat from the world of our normal everyday lives, the workings of the mind can be more easily seen. Identification with conceptual belief patterns can be released, revealing a Silence and Stillness that is full of love and peace, the Essence of our Being.

Retreats bring together like-minded individuals, creating an energy and community where one's meditation practice and inquiry into Life can further deepen and become firmly established.

Aruna's retreats are suitable for both the beginner and the experienced. Instructions and guidance in different meditation techniques will be given. These will involve the breath, body scanning, Self-enquiry, walking & lying down meditation. Aruna will give some Talks with discussion and question time. Private one on one interviews will also be offered to help clear any doubts that might arise for participants. An optional morning Yoga Asana session with a trained yoga teacher will be on offer.

18- 20 May 2012 (Extended Retreat 18- 22 May), Healesville, Victoria.

Individual Sessions

Individual sessions are an opportunity to have focussed one-on-one attention.The sessions can cover many topics, from life issues to one's meditation/ spiritual practice to major decision processes.
The sessions may involve meditation, deep inner enquiry, belief pattern & character exploration and energetic bodywork. In the sessions we inquire together into holding patterns in the body, breath, emotions and mind. With conscious clarity of these patterns we can release them and open up into Conscious recognition of our True Nature. The sessions always have the conscious embodiment of the Present Moment as it's foundation.
Sessions are 60 minutes in duration. Please call 0424 401 583 for appointments and inquiries.
