Here is my workshop on Samadhi.
Description of a workshop on emotions:
In the process of meditation, everyone has experienced the bubbling up of past thoughts and experiences which are often labeled distractions. However, all the thoughts that arise during meditation were created by us in the past. We have created them by our feeling of individuality, our sense of personal responsibility and our expectation of reward. Mantra circles are a means to move beyond self-imposed limits. In the past each thought was created hoping that it would satisfy our thirst for limitlessness. Different kinds of thoughts (and feelings) are associated with each cakra. The thoughts are still waiting, expecting to receive that satisfaction. The only way to satisfy every thought is by giving each thought, as it arises, the full energy of the mantra so it also can be liberated. When all of our thoughts are liberated, the "I" will also be liberated. Sitting in a circle, meditators sing the mantra directing the energy of the mantra, helping each other liberate their thoughts and facilitating every individual's progress. (By Dada Prana)
