We all know something about the conscious and the subconscious mind. We are all too familiar with its attachment to our past, our plans for the future, our desires and ambitions, the present reality of our feelings and emotions.
Yogananda’s teachings give us the method to access a higher state of consciousness, healing for the restless human psyche, a healthy boost for our creativity in dealing with the challenges of daily life, a chance to develop the intuitive insight possessed by all great scientists, artists and reformers.
They go even further, guiding sincere students and practitioners towards a complete transcendence and forgetfulness of all the miseries that beset the human ego: failure, disappointments of all sorts, illness and even death.
The advantage of this psychological approach, is that it can only be based on personal experience. Where philosophy gives us abstract ideals and religion metaphysical realities to believe in, spiritual psychology guides us from the subconscious, habit bound mind, towards superconscious inner freedom, through a simple process of human development.
Well, let’s start at the beginning! In this course we will explore the basics of the yogic method that empowers the mind to explore dimensions different from its present state of development. We will start from the physical body, by learning psychophysical exercises that develop our awareness of the subtle energies that govern it. We will use the breath to gain mastery over such negative emotions as fear or nervousness; we will reprogram the subconscious mind with affirmations written by Yogananda; we will open our heart, the center of feeling and consciousness, through devotional chanting; and we will explore techniques that develop our powers of concentration, allowing us to focus fully on the superconscious dimension that we want to access.
Course features:
- the three levels of the mind, the eight aspect of superconsciousness
- the heart as the seat of feeling and consciousness
- examples from history of superconscious guidance
- inner guidance in daily life
- the transformative power of mantra
- … and much more
