Meditation & Self- Inquiry with Oliver Bailey The Art of Knowing Who You Are
This workshop is an invitation to explore who you are before your stories, beliefs, feelings and thoughts through MEDITATION AND SELF-INQUIRY. The journey starts with our own personal stories, the ones you use to define your self-- the stories you tell over and over again to yourself and others. These are the stories that become your *false* personality if they go unquestioned, although on the surface they may be who you believe you are. An aid in our journey will be meditation. With meditation we will begin to get in touch with the spacious, still, quiet place from where the stories, beliefs, feelings and thoughts emerge. Our minds are often so busy that we lose sight of the ground from which these things emerge. In this workshop, Oliver will introduce us to meditative exercises he has developed that aid in connecting to this interior place. Lastly we will utilize Self-Inquiry to help discover who we are. Self-inquiry is a spiritually powerful question that always points back to ourselves. It is the most important tool of self-discovery. By questioning and inquiring into our identity, we begin to identify with our true Self beyond our ego and personality. Please accept this invitation to you to look deeply into your Self. I am excited to be returning to Japan to continue to work with you in deepening your meditation and self-inquiry process. No Meditation experience is required.
