Way of Meditation
Human beings have three modes of Enlightened-Expression – body, speech (energy), and mind. On the Mahāsiddha Path of total realization of our True Nature, we must train all three of these modes, not forgetting that the foundation of these is the mind. We can have radiant health, highly developed situational awareness, and even complete awareness of our emotional facilitation, but the mind may still act as a disturbing annoyance, an obstacle to our equanimity, a driver of unconscious compulsive actions/reactions, and interfere with our ability to rest in our True Nature. Becoming established in the practice of both formal and informal meditation is the basis of recognizing our True Nature, and continuing in that realization.
The Way of Meditation has two tracks of study and practice:
- Track 1 — Progressive (Meditation with Form)
- Track 2 — Direct (Formless Meditation)
Track 1
Progressive Meditation
(Known as the "Right Branch")
A progressive system of sequential techniques that train familiarity with your mind through focusing on your mind's ever subtler functions and the experiences they yield — eventually causing your mind to become so subtle that it simply resolves back into its Source — your True Nature. The practices used in training Meditation with Form come from systems of Indo-Tibetan Tantrik Meditation.
