In Zen it is said that Awakening happens by accident, but deep practice makes us accident prone.

این دعوت بذری است که در کسانی که آماده ایجاد شرایط گریزناپذیر در ساختار درونی خود هستند، زمین حاصلخیز خواهد یافت؛ تا در آنچه در سنت‌های باستانی سادانا نامیده شده است، درگیر شوند.

روش‌های بسیاری برای سادانا وجود دارد، اما همه آنچه از حکمت جاویدان پیروی می‌کنند، ویژگی‌های مشابهی خواهند داشت، حتی اگر اعمال و فرهنگ‌هایی که در آن‌ها ظهور می‌کنند متفاوت باشند. چه مسیر هشت‌گانه شریف بودیسم باشد و چه هشت اندام یوگا، یا آموزه‌های باستانی تائوئیستی. در سنت یوگا، پتنجلی این عمل را سام یاما نامید؛ عمل سه اندام پایانی در سیستم هشت‌بخشی یوگا. عمل دهارانا، دیانا و سامادی.

در “من هستم” Retreat، با استفاده از تکنیک‌هایی شروع می‌کنیم که تمرکز و توجه را پرورش می‌دهند و سپس به تسلیم درونی و جذب مراقبه‌ای می‌پردازیم. از انجام دادن به انجام ندادن و در نهایت به سماهی می‌رویم؛ انجام ندادنِ فهم‌ناپذیر... رها شدن ذهن و بدن... رها شدن فرد و جهان... یا رها شدن همه دوگانگی‌ها. حکمت "راه گریز نیست" یک تکنیک، تمرین یا انجام بیشتر برای خود شرطی شده نیست، بلکه زدودن توهم است.

در ابتدای خلوت آنلاین 7 روزه، تمرینات مقدماتی برای تثبیت ذهن شرطی ارائه خواهیم داد، اما در نهایت تسلیم همه کارها... همه دستکاری و کنترل ذهن خواهیم شد، در حالی که عمیق‌تر به وجود فرو می‌رویم.

دوره‌ی آنلاین “من هستم” شامل خروج از منطقه‌ی امن است... رها کردن آسایش و ناراحتی و ورود به «ابر نادانی»... قدم گذاشتن در ذهنیت تازه‌کار. در این سکون ذهن متواضع است که احتمال بیداری فرد بیشتر می‌شود. در طول این دوره فشرده، شما با افرادی از سراسر جهان که به راه بیداری کشیده شده‌اند، وارد سکون خواهید شد. این دوره فشرده‌ی مراقبه و خودکاوی به شما امکان می‌دهد تا شرایطی را در خانه‌ی خود ایجاد کنید که هم به صورت بیرونی با خاموش کردن تمام عوامل حواس‌پرتی، و هم به صورت درونی با آرام گرفتن ذهن، به سکون برسید.

ریتریت آنلاین “من هستم” بر اساس ریتریت‌های مرکز Samadhi است که سال‌هاست در حال تحول بوده‌اند، و من تمام تکنیک‌ها و تمرین‌های مورد علاقه‌ام را که در مسیر خودم به من کمک کرده‌اند گردآوری کرده‌ام… آنچه من آن‌ها را بهترین ابزارهای روی کره زمین برای بیداری می‌دانم. این دوره شامل دوره‌های مراقبه هدایت‌شده و سکوت هر روز، آموزش‌های روزانه زنده و ضبط‌شده، و یک جلسه پرسش و پاسخ روزانه است که در آن حضور خواهم داشت تا به سوالات شما پاسخ دهم و هر آنچه در تمرین شما پیش می‌آید، مانند موانعی که در مراقبه با آن‌ها روبرو می‌شویم، را بررسی کنم.

We’ll be doing self-inquiry dyads every evening. You will work with partners using the most powerful and effective self-inquiry technique that we know of. There will be daily meditations, teachings from various traditions and guided breath session for releasing deep samskaras… energy that’s been caught in unconscious patterns. In the evening a Yoga Nidra guided meditation will take you consciously into the Sleep Cycle.

در این خلوت‌ها، ما در حال ایجاد شرایط «گریزناپذیر» برای ذهن خودخواه هستیم.
تمرین مداوم، بی‌وقفه و یک‌نقطه‌ای کلید Samadhi است. از شرکت‌کنندگان خواسته می‌شود که در طول این خلوت از همه فعالیت‌های ذهنی مانند مطالعه، تماشای تلویزیون، استفاده از کامپیوتر، تلفن یا سایر دستگاه‌ها کناره‌گیری کرده و پیوسته رو به خود باشند.

منظور داشتن تجربه‌ای مستقیم از طبیعت واقعی شماست، تجربه‌ای بدون واسطه از خودِ شرطی‌شده. هر کجای مسیر تمرین خود باشید، چه تازه‌کار باشید و چه مدتی در این راه باشید، ما اینجا هستیم تا از شما حمایت کنیم. با وجود اینکه سفر هر کس منحصربه‌فرد و فردی است، ما این فرایند را با هم طی خواهیم کرد.
