STILLNESSINYOGA MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING INC PERSONAL SELF DISCOVERY 2022/23

Why join Stillnessinyoga One Year Meditation Teacher Training?

Through guidance and daily practice, one can reach deeper states of Meditation which helps one overcome one’s misconceived thoughts of ourselves and the world around us. Connecting with our deeper nature, our True Nature, brings more self-understanding resulting in more happiness for no reason.

When we forget we are part of the Universal Spirit, imagining we are a separate, individual person we follow our desires, feelings of fear, hatred, anger and resentment or other negative emotions. This misconception leaves us constantly trying to make life go the way we want it to go. This is the main cause of our exhaustion and suffering.

Meditation is the remedy to find our eternal True Identity and Inner Peace. It will change your life.

This Training begins on the personal level with creating your personal Sadhana and Self-Enquiry to Self-Understanding – with special techniques to aid this deep questioning of ourselves.  From here we can begin to realise how the characters we play and think we are have severely limited us, blindfolded us.

Until we have uncovered and experienced our true nature, the very core of being, we can never be harmonious, continuously happy and balanced in all our lives. This very core, this ground of our being, is the base from which we work on the Meditation Training. From here we can build our understanding of what’s truly going on in our lives. Just by questioning and deeply enquiring into our true being, beneath all these levels of projections, much wisdom can arise.

You will learn various forms of meditation and their overall aims, as well as learn in-depth through extensively personal practice: various meditation techniques, mindfulness, bandhas, breathe awareness and retention. From your own experience, you will then know which forms of meditation best suit you and your lifestyle at a certain moment and thus offer the most benefit to you personally.

It sounds serious but of course, we will also take a light-hearted approach to the matter with song (mantra) and celebration!

COMMENTS FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS –

“MIJN BOOT NAAR DE OVERKANT: Vandaag was de afsluitende dag van mijn jaar ‘Meditatie Teacher Training & Self Discovery’, Voor mij persoonlijk de meest waardevolle training ooit. Gedurende de maanden van de training en praktiseren is er een overvloed aan ‘toeven in tevredenheid’ over mij heen gevallen, een in basis altijd aanwezige gemoedsrust die zo goed als onverstoorbaar is. Het is daar gewoon op energetisch niveau ‘het natuurlijk weten’ achter de mind, achter woorden, achter gedachten. Een rijkdom waarmee in basis ruimschoots aan al mijn levensbehoeftes is voldaan. Ik voel geen vraagstukken meer de vragen hebben mij in stilte verlaten.”  

“Many thanks, love, hugs & 1000+ kisses for my spiritual teacher Anand Nigam Overington for pointing me in the direction of different boats, without your guiding it would have been a lot more difficult finding the right one suiting for me. Verder voelde het hele proces als een ontzettend veilige haven mede mogelijk gemaakt door team Stillnessinyoga en mijn mede reisgenoten, ik ben jullie meer dan dankbaar voor dit fantastische jaar met elkaar.” Nancy van der Hoek    

Training days (starting time each day 9.30 am end time at 5.00 pm)

We will meet for a day’s training at least monthly and if you so wish we will stay in close contact over the duration of the course for coaching, mentoring and advice. Thus the participant will receive the teachings during our meetings, practice at home and have the opportunity to allow their growing understanding to help them during the ups and downs of their everyday home lives. 

Homelife is the very place that Meditation and Self-Understanding is needed!  Not on the meditation cushion but in the heart of the action – home!
