The foundation course in meditation The University's Foundation Course in Meditation, often referred to as Raja Yoga meditation, incorporates the following core curriculum: self-realisation Developing self-awareness and self-understanding to realise one's true spiritual identity and nature. In the meditative state, the self is experienced as conscious energy taking the form of a point of light. This spiritual energy, the soul, is experienced as both different and separate from the material body. consciousness The role of the mind, and the interplay between the mind, the intellect and the personality is studied. The meditator learns to quieten and direct the mind, allowing the conscience to be clearly heard. Conscious awareness of the soul is then developed, allowing full understanding of the self.
As meditation helps consciousness move beyond self-limiting beliefs, the presence of God is experienced in the state of meditation. natural spiritual laws Understanding the deep philosophy of action, also known as the law of cause and effect, enables us to purposefully choose right thoughts and actions. With this knowledge we can powerfully affect the direction and quality of our life. cycle of time Time is perceived as moving in cycles, and life as a whole is presented as an unlimited drama on the world stage. This perspective of time and constantly changing scenes restores the ability to find meaning and significance in what is happening in the world around us. the tree of life The beauty of the different world religions is depicted through the tree of life. Each religion, as a branch of the one tree, has its own unique value and role. All branches of the tree have come originally from the one source, the seed of the human world tree, God. enhancing inner strength As the practice of meditation leads to an experience of inner strength, practical methods are offered to help shape and direct spiritual power into accurate and effective responses and actions in daily life. principles for a spiritual lifestyle With an improved level of self-understanding comes the awareness of how behaviour and lifestyle - including diet, regular spiritual study and the practice of meditation - can complement and enhance spiritual development in daily life. development of spiritual values Emphasis is given to understanding of the power of values and the importance of reviewing and renewing our spiritual values at the deepest level of our life.
