"The Tao that can be describedis not the eternal Tao.The name that can be spokenis not the eternal Name.The nameless is the boundary of Heaven and Earth.The named is the mother of creation.Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real.Yet mystery and realityemerge from the same source.This source is called darkness.Darkness born from darkness.The beginning of all understanding."

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.” ― Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching New Moon Arrives(d): Wednesday, October 2, 2024 at 11:49 AM. PDT, continuing on in LUNAR CYCLE 9. At the Equator, we are entering into Cycle 8. Coupled with the second solar eclipse at 11:46 AM PDT. Sol + Luna Cycles: The Fall/Spring New Moon Musings, Silent Meditation and Sound-Electromagnetic Therapy will be live tomorrow. I will be recording right as the NEW MOON arrives and post shortly there after. If inspired, Pause, Be and Listen. I offer you a seed contemplation and an opportunity to listen to your unique self. I encourage you to observe what has been rising up in an around you during the past week. Then, pause to see what arrives tonight in your subconscious (aka dreaming state) through the next few days. This will give you a specific understanding of what you are ready to shed, transform and build upon during this LUNAR Cycle. Bi-annually, the Fall and Spring Seasons welcome all of us to work on self-governance and emotional regulation/intelligence. All emotions serve; yet, when you lead with them there is a strong possibility you will loose presence and awareness in action.

16th Sept 2024 In this Satsang, Sanjay discussed the importance of early morning contemplation and self-recognition, emphasizing the significance of the transition from sleep to wakefulness for self-reflection and mindfulness. He also explored the concept of Atman, or the divine within oneself, and the need to remember and contemplate it regularly, especially in the early morning hours. The discussion concluded with the suggestion that this practice can help one enter a state of self-awareness without the interference of the mind. These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia. Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

'All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.' - Blaise Pascal What are you like at sitting without any distractions, and just being? Not great I imagine, as it is something most people resist and avoid like the plague. Our culture is built on continual doing and a cult of productivity. But sitting and just being, while frequently torturous at first, can transform into a blissful experience as the thinkiung mind quietens down to reveal the innate joy lying underneath. This was a lesson Jenna Ashford - elite GB hockey player turned psychologist - discovered after spending 10 days on a Vipassana meditation retreat. ** Website: simonmundie.com YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundie Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/ Substack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/ My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite interviews over the last six years.

What did you think of this meditation? Send me a text!This meditation is a self guided silent meditation. The first two minutes I will prepare you for the remainder of the meditation, which provides you the space to contemplate in silence, away from the guidance of my voice, with nothing but the relaxing sounds of the background music, ocean waves, and the sound of your own breath. This meditation is a great introduction into self guided meditations. Support the Show.

I emphasize the benefits of using guided meditations, especially for those who are new to the practice. I encourage listeners to find guided meditations that resonate with them and not to hesitate to listen to the same one multiple times. However, I also stress the importance of incorporating periods of silence into meditation and transitioning to silent meditation using the breath or other senses as anchors. I specifically highlight the breath as a powerful tool for regulating the body's response to stress. I explain how our breath can send signals to the brain, either activating the fight-or-flight response or triggering the relaxation response. It's crucial to practice meditation regularly in order to find inner peace and calm. To conclude the episode, I guide listeners through a tranquil lakeside visualization meditation for stress relief. I encourage them to relax, become aware of their breath, and release tension in their bodies as they visualize a serene lake. I prompt them to pay attention to the details and sensations of the lake, such as the light on its surface, the birds, clouds, and the Sun, as well as the Moon and stars. I point out that just like the lake, our minds can be calm or turbulent, reflecting our thoughts and emotions. Even in difficult times, calmness is always available beneath the surface of our chaotic thoughts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Returning from a 3-day silent meditation retreat, I found myself reflecting on how my previous 10-day Vipassana retreat had sparked a profound journey of personal and spiritual self-discovery. The 3-day retreat, however, proved to be more challenging than I'd anticipated, shattering my initial assumption that it would be easier than the 10-day one. The knowledge I gained from these experiences revamped my understanding of meditation and its role in personal development, compelling me to share these insights with you.   In this candid and introspective episode, I detail the moments of clarity and life-changing realisations I had during the retreat, including a surprising revelation about the future direction of Personal Development Mastery podcast. I also delve into the struggle of maintaining momentum with Vipassana meditation after the retreat and the lessons I learned from this. For those curious about Vipassana, I discuss the technique and its transformative potential. So, join me as we explore the profound impact of silent meditation retreats on personal development and spiritual evolution.   ⠀
