In this Vol 2. of the Spiritual ABC courses we will focus on the aspect of Meditation. Once we know we’re on a spiritual path, what do we do? Meditation, or absorption in the Self, is a tried and tested method for insighttraining, especially in the Eastern religions. Traditionally it has been approached in two phases: one Tranquility phase of slowing down the body/mind/breath to a restful awake state. We use mindful awareness of our breath to calm the body and mind. Then there’s the phase of Insight, the penetrating clarity that can arise within a peaceful mind, fuelled by keen observation. Paying attention to the movement of mind within a still body gives rise to the understanding of its fleeting nature.
