Our next Active Meditation day will be on Saturday July 10th at St Michaels Hall in Bristol.

See here for information on Active Meditations, and here for cost, dates, and timings of each day.

The day will be led by me, Islam Andrew White, with help from Suvarna Freeman.

I’ve been a meditator for over 30 years and I know that active meditations are a wonderful, wonderful support for going deeply inside ourselves.  Even if you already have a meditation practice, chances are excellent that active meditation techniques will help you to go even deeper in mediation. If you have never meditated before, or tried and found it very hard, then active meditations are the perfect way to get started.

One of the days on the schedule is specially marked as an “introduction to active meditations” but that is only because we are going to do some special publicity for that day. ALL days are introduction days, open to everyone, newcomers will be made welcome, and all the meditations will be fully explained.

… meditation is the only answer to all the questions of man. It may be frustration, it may be depression, it may be sadness, it may be meaninglessness, it may be anguish: The problems may be many but the answer is one. Osho, Light on the Path, Chapter 1

A meditator needs no personal guidance. A meditator, on the contrary, needs only one thing: the atmosphere of meditation. He needs other meditators; he needs to be surrounded by other meditators. Because whatever goes on happening within us is not only within us, it affects people who are close by. In this communion people are at different stages of meditation. To meditate with these people, just to sit silently with these people, and you will be pulled more and more towards your own intrinsic potentiality. Osho, The Invitation, Chapter 12
