Introduction
Join us for this deep dive online into your relationship with your Self, starting February 26th.
In this program we will engage in three separate meditation journeys. Each 2 day journey is comprised of seven meditation stages, taking you step-by-step into a deeper level of awakening and realization.
We will move through the rudimentary skills of meditation to the deeper levels of awareness and integration and finally into identity, projection and merger in the infinite pulse of creation. 21 Stages of Meditation contributes to KRI Level Three Certification within The Aquarian Teacher™ Training Program.
Come for one, two or all three journeys in the certificate course! Or is you wish to attend any single day and experience a full day meditation intensive outside of the certification track, we can accommodate that too! (Contact Nirmal).

The 21 Stages of Meditation Explained
Journey One – Experience and Crystalize the Self
The focus of the first journey is to recognize, experience and crystallize the Self. The blocks are encountered in the first four stages: upset, boredom, irritation and frustration.
The first ascent starts when we have a sense of our Self, separate from all the commotions, emotions and sensory impulses; we begin to focus and recognize a still point, a nucleus within, which is the Self. It is this crystallized sense of Self that is needed in order for consciousness to work.

Stage 7 – Experience and Crystallize the Self

Journey Two – Express and Distill the Self
In this second journey, the initial challenge is to develop a sensitivity to the Self, as we engage in relationships and participate in life. When we take the seed of our Self and our identity and project it into the world, it expands.
In this second journey, we cultivate the meditative skill to merge with our projection yet still be able to distill our Self from the various roles we play; in this way, this second journey prepares us to maintain our integrity in action and ultimately to find the stillness within every action.

Journey Three – Transcend and Sublimate the Self
In this final journey, we recognize all that we are as the formless presence of the infinite Self. We open the dimension of our Transcendent Self. This journey requires us to go beyond differences and similar into reality and unity. By forging an elevated identity with our infinite Self within our finite self, we become spontaneous, creative and flexible. We excel in this infinite game of the soul.
Love, compassion and kindness become the core of our experience. At the peak of this journey we become the nothing within the center of all that is. Mystery is now mastery. The sacred space opens up to intuitive presence, which serves innocence, loves life, blesses all, and praises the Infinite, the all within All. You become you, nothing more, nothing less. In this final journey, we become realized human beings.
