Jnana Yoga: The Pathless Path
The Simple Act of Looking
with Nancy Dyer
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
4:00 to 5:30 pm
At the Rensselaerville Library
The state of simple awareness is available to you, right here, right now.
Everything takes place in the space of present awareness. The mind “entertains” and “traumatizes” us with stories, taking you away from it. “Stop” the mind; recognize the stillness that you already are. Immediate results.
This class is more focused on the first/beginnings of Jnana Yoga: the subtle art of presence awareness: getting a feel for “it”, holding on, coming back to “it”….
- Will share simplest teachings, most easily discerned approaches from Rajiv Kapur. Robert Adams and Nisargadatta Maharaj (quotes in the Nisargadatta Gita) aimed at developing more confidence and understanding in the “first” step of discriminating and losing identification with the body/mind over and over.
- Mostly, time will be spent simply sitting in silence, noticing, and using advice of John Sherman, “What does it feel like to be you” to actually getting at, by experiencing, what that means “to do.”
- Will use various approaches to get participants to DIRECTLY EXPERIENCE the stillness when not sitting in silence.
