Audience: Samma Karuna Teachers

Class description: This class is a guided meditation to facilitate the recognition of the observer or Atman by des-identification with the conceptual mind.

Learning Objectives: Student may recognize themselves as the in-manifested consciousness or nothingness or simply as a “No body”.

Notes: This class is suitable for experienced students only.

Description:

Students and teacher seat together in meditation posture whilst the teacher is guiding them through the meditation

Class Structure:

• Stage 1: Guide the students to visualize themselves as they have achieved everything they wanted to achieve and travel everywhere they wanted to go. Guiding them towards a place in the now where there is nothing to do and nowhere where to go.
  
  
• Stage 2: Guide the students towards a visualization where anyone that knows them well or for long-time is gone from this world (try to avoid the word “dead”.. just make them clear they are no longer here). 
  • Note: This visualization aims for the conceptual mind to lose up the grasp of the self as nobody in the outside can serve as a mirror of it.
    
    
• Stage 3: Invite the students to let themselves go into the feeling that arises when stage 1 and 2 are completed.
  • Note: As the students start dis-identifying from the conceptual mind a sense of desolation might arise. This is where you want to guide them..

• Stage 4: Guide the students towards the activation of the heart consciousness and des-identification with the conceptual mind.

You may use sentences such us:

• Watch the present moment fresh as you never see before.
• Watch without adding the story of who you are or what is happening in your life to it.
• Look at everything as it has no name
• How the present moment looks if there is no past nor future?

• Stage 5: Guide the students towards the recognition of the in-manifested, the watcher

You may repeat one of the following sentences every 3 or 4 minutes of silence:

• If it feels powerful is not it
• I invite you to let go even the same perception of yourself.
• If it feels simple, that’s it.
• If it feels scary, that’s it.
• If it feels empty, that’s it.
