10 Non-Obvious Fundamentals: Stop Limiting Your Progress (20 One-Hour Sessions)
Coming Soon!
Email meditatewithranga@gmail.com if you want us to prioritize this class!
There are so many mistakes that we make as meditators, that hold us back in our practice and lives. I am a big fan of fundamentals–Tim Duncan is my all-time favorite basketball player, and he was nicknamed The Big Fundamental! If we don’t get the basics right, we’ll never make it to the good stuff. Moreover, most people don’t even give meditation a try because their view of meditation is so screwed up! Let’s fix it, people!
Between me and you, I expect this course to be one of our most popular courses over time. We’ll get a book published on this topic, someday soon!
Schedule:
Day 1: Open-heartedness: Openness of being and learning to open the heart/mind (Citta) is a primary movement of meditation and one of the most important conditions to give rise to bliss. This is often counterintuitive as many believe meditation entails becoming stoic and unmoved by things.
Day 2: Guided Meditation Practice: Experience open-heartedness firsthand.
Day 3: Playfulness: Meditation is about play. It’s art, it’s poetry–not science. It has to be fun.
Day 4: Guided Meditation Practice: Let’s make meditation fun!
Day 5: Stop thinking of meditation as concentration: This is SO crucial. Meditation is NOT about developing laser-like focus.
Day 6: Guided Meditation Practice: A session where we completely let go of worrying about how much our minds wander.
Day 7: Malleability: This is one of the most instrumental and transformative benefits of meditation, and most people don’t even know what it is!
Day 8: Guided Meditation Practice: Can we see how the mind already has some malleability, but suggesting things to it and monitoring our experience? This is ambitious but worth a shot.
Day 9: Pleasure: The Buddha taught pleasure. Who doesn’t want more pleasure? Let’s talk about it.
Day 10: Guided Meditation Practice: Let’s learn to enjoy more. Let’s TURN UP THE JOY.
Day 11: What is your image of a meditator?: Explore how your view of what an ideal meditator looks like affects your experience in meditation.
Day 12: Guided Meditation Practice: How does it feel to practice with a changed image of what a meditator is?
Day 13: Devotion: What are you devoted to? How does this affect your practice?
Day 14: Guided Meditation Practice: Let’s explore what devotion feels like, together!
Day 15: The Hero: Iron Man, Wolverine, Batman, and YOU!
Day 16: Guided Meditation Practice: Change the narrative of who you are, in your head.
Day 17: Ways of looking: Are there are, are ways of looking. What does this mean? Let’s talk about it.
Day 18: Guided Meditation Practice: Practice looking at the world through different lenses.
Day 19: Trust (Sadda): The Buddha taught that with suffering as its cause, Sadda arises. Trust is one of the 5 spiritual powers described by the Buddha.
Day 20: Guided Meditation Practice: Practice trusting in awareness, and letting go of our incessant need to finish unfinished business.
