meditate on nondual teachings and spiritual poetry

---

I want to invite you to explore the practice  of "Self-Inquiry" set forth by Sri Ramana Maharshi in his book "Who am I?" by meditating on talks given by Sri Ramana Maharshi, and other prominent Nondual teachers such as Sri Nisaragadatta Maharaj, and contemporary teachers such as Rupert Spira and Richard Miller. I also want to join Nondualism with the many paths of love found in the mystical poetry of 13th-century Persian poet, theologian, and Sufi mystic Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi and include other spiritual poetry.

These teachings will help us more clearly define who we are beyond a world of purely material categories and allow us to overcome personal limitations that prevent us from being satisfied and happy with our lives. Self-Inquiry and Nondual teachings can liberate us from our suffering and blind states of despair. They can bring light into the darkness of our confusion about our reasons for being alive, our existential purpose, and help us realize our fundamental, inherent and vast internal wealth of joy.

This class will consist of  gentle chair based movements, breathing practices and various hand mudras with the majority of the class involving guided meditation on readings from Nondual teachings and the philosophy of Rumi that has been developed by Dr. Farid Mostamand in several books he has written. Other spiritual poetry will also be part of the class meditations. One of the books I am using is a meditation on prayer by Rupert Spira which uses the word "God" as an expression of ancient Nondualism teachings that are at the foundation of all world religions and spiritual traditions.

This class is not currently being offered.
