through meditation, enquiry, & chanting
The spiritual quest has been at the heart of every great culture in every age. People everywhere have found that however much they achieve outwardly, inner contentment and a truly peaceful life remain elusive goals. At that point there might be a knocking on the door of the heart, reminding us that we’ve missed something. Ignoring this prompting doesn’t make it go away. It might become uncomfortable, causing us to try to mask it with external pleasures, or with drink, prescriptions, and other drugs. We may feel we are a stranger to ourself, not understanding how our life came to be so unfulfilling.
Or we might just feel an intuition that however full and enjoyable our life is, there is something important that we missed.
Many cultural traditions offer possible ways of responding to that inner prompting. This website invites you to explore three of them.
The first of these is Transcendental Meditation, a daily practice that quietens the mind and leads it to stillness.
The second is self-enquiry, which turns our attention directly to the ever-present unchanging awareness that is beyond the mind.
The third is chanting or devotional singing, which opens the heart to our own source through the physical act of singing in a meditative way.
