Content and Overview

Through this short but powerful set of 20 lectures we cover the deepest aspects of how to bring the mind to stillness we start by looking at the mind and what are the prerequisites to a totally calm mind. Aspects such as renunciation and open heartedness. And then we look at becoming mindful of the patterns of thoughts themselves. And finally we analyse the way we perceive the world and in particular the fundamental mistake that all beings make which causes distractive thought.

Most importantly we look at many deeper meditations that work on the fundamental view of how we perceive reality. And foremost of these is the meditation on the emptiness of phenomena. Because if this meditation is done correctly it has the power to stop discursive thought all together. And unlike other teaching on this subject, I have included no less than 8 different meditations you can use o n emptiness so that you can find one that suits you. 

And as a final bonus to the this course I have included a lecture on Tantra. The wisdom meditations above form the foundation for Tantra (or Vajrayana). and this very much mis-understood practice is usually practice wrongly in the west. So I give a brief introduction to the subject and give one practical way to use the tantric style of mediation that can work to weaken the strongly held view that hold all of us back from reaching the state of mental enlightenment that we wish for.

After doing this course you will be able to:

• Interrupt distractions in your mediation and use them to actually increase peace in your mind
• Select one or two meditations on emptiness that work best for you
• Use these same ideas and understanding in normal life (when not meditating) to also remain clam
• Take your practice to a deeper level than you have before.
