The Theory of Meditation 5 lectures 34:13 The Three Foundations In this video we look at the 3 foundations of technique. wisdom and open-heartedness and we discuss why all 3 of these foundations need to be developed together. The Two Tools In this lesson we discuss the two main tool (mindfulness and introspection) that a meditator has to work on his mind and strengthen the three foundations. The Different Types of Meditation in the World In this lesson we discuss the different types of meditation that you will see in the world and make a big distinction between the most common meditations (guided) and the more pure meditation (single pointed). Both are useful and we should try to balance our practice. What Meditation is Not In this lesson we discuss some of the common misunderstandings that people might have around meditation so that we can be clear in what we are hoping to achieve. Escapism vs Real Life In this lesson we talk about how people use meditation. Some people love to meditate to get away from their daily stresses. But how much more powerful would it be to use meditation to actively work with those stressors during meditation so they cease to disturb you in real life.

How to Meditate. 9 lectures 01:21:23 Where and When to Meditate Where is the best place to meditate and when is the best time to do it? These questions are answered in this lesson. How to Sit Now we know where and when to sit - we are ready to start. And what is the first thing you need to do? Sit, of course. In this lesson we cover the main sitting postures used for meditation. Distraction - The Main Obstacle In this lesson we start with the one main obstacle you will be battling with in meditation - distraction. We discuss how it can come in many forms and how when we try to fight it, it gets stronger. Meditation on the Breath In this lesson we look at moving the meditation object from the body to the breath. For a lot of people this will allow for a more peaceful and calming meditation although it can sometimes be more difficult to maintain concentration on the breath. Walking Meditation In this lesson we take a look at doing walking meditation - a great way for people who find it hard to keep still while sitting to start their practice. And of course the great thing is that we can now practice meditation whenever we are going places. Guided Meditations In this lesson we talk about the benefits of doing guided meditations as opposed to single object meditation. We recommend doing a mixture of the easier guided meditations and the single object meditation which are harder but help strengthen our practice. Stages of the Path (Part 1) In this discussion we talk about the stages that a meditator will go through as he or she deepens their practice. The benefits of knowing where you are at in your meditation journey and what lies ahead of you is both useful and very motivating. So enjoy this discussion on the deeper levels of meditation. Stages of the Path (Part 2) In this discussion we continue on with the discussion on the stages of the path. See how at each level of our deepening meditation practice we get different benefits from the practice and also face different challenges. Conclusion Thank you for your dedication and I trust you enjoyed the course. This course was designed to cover the basics for setting up a meditation practice. To deepen your meditation practice further, you will need to study the proper technique of meditation. I have spend over 30 years studying different meditations around the world and there are commonalities across many meditation traditions. And it was these techniques that have helped me go from a novice to a good meditator ) In this discussion we talk about the stages that a meditator will go through as he or she...
