Our philosophy is that meditation is a gift; to discover ourselves and to discover God if that is what one wishes to do. It is a gift meant to be given. Therefor the School 4 Meditation is a non-commercial, not for profit venture. It is us simply sharing our life long experiences with you. We hope it might clear up the many concepts and myths that surround meditation and be of inspiration to you.

Our approach

The orientation and mood of the school for meditation is to include all meditations, all religions, all people. There is no one meditation or technique better or more powerful then the next.

Our meditation curriculum teaches a two part approach to going within that places emphasis on helping the meditation student overcome discouragement and misunderstandings.

Equally, for people who are practicing meditation on a regular basis, it is a great space to deepen your current practice and be able to sharpen your abilities to go within.

The group will be no larger then 6 participants, which enables each participant to receive plenty of personalized time and guidance.

What technique do we practice and teach?

Some people use meditation to relax, to calm their minds or to escape this world. These wonderful benefits can be found through meditation, and... there is so much more to be found through the practice of meditation.

At School for Meditation we specialize in the practice of meditation to transform yourself, to guide and empower you. Meditation to let go of the things that are not serving you any longer, so you can open yourself up and heal. In this way you let go of self-serving ego ways so that your True Self can manifest. This opens doors to a life with purpose and in service to the greater good, which in turn will give you a sense of joy and happiness that is not dependent on anything outside of yourself.

Our approach is universal and simple;

"It does not matter how you do it, just as long as you do it!"

The way we approach how to learn the practice is open and multifaceted. Rather than teaching you one technique from a particular belief or teaching, we focus on

teaching the mechanics and science of going within
exploring the abilities and skills you need in order to succeed
extensive personalized help on how to deal with the challenges that block you
and for those who want, to deepen their personal connection with The Source / God

You see in one sense it really does not matter how you do it. As long as you do it!

Background

Beneath our personalities and our minds, a deeper part within us seeks a greater sense of inter-relatedness and connection. Life is one thing after another, and our attentions are most always on things that are outside of us. Then we get curious and we start wanting to know what more there is than, things. We eventually find our way to meditation.

We know deep down that there is more going on within us, and with life itself than meets the eye. We yearn to be moved, to be touched, to be graced with a deeper connection to spirit, and to something more profound than all of the thoughts and actions that define who we think we are.

We know that if we want to connect more to the true reality that is, then we need to interrupt the chain of doing and thinking that we live in most of the time. Meditation slows us down enough to find that which we seek, yet too often people give up on their meditation practice because of some basic misunderstandings about going within and discouragement about the practice producing results. Meditation has many faces and is more encompassing of purpose than we commonly think. It can be a practice to relax or a way to enlightenment, and most people if they have any trouble at all with meditation say the following;

“I can’t find the time”,

“I can’t quiet my mind or my senses”,

“I follow the instructions but nothing happens.”

At the school for meditation we like to support you to not stop or slow down when encountering the multitude of obstacles that arise in your meditations. We believe everyone can succeed in the practice of going within!

Rose

My name is Rose. I have lived out of a suitcase for the last 25 years. Not because I was homeless. I was on a journey around the world looking for Home. Home of the truth, the love and feeling of belonging, fulfillment and connection that I know was inside of me but could only feel short moments in time and then for it to disappear again.

This drove me crazy. So much so, that I was not going to stop till I could stay in the love and light..."I wanted the whole "lot", whatever it took".

Along that journey there were two things that crossed my path that I am tremendously grateful for to this day and led me to a life of daily meditation and communion.

1. I was 29 years old. It was a rainy evening. I had nothing better to do so I went to a lecture at the Holiday-Inn hotel. This lecture was about ultimate spiritual freedom. Her name was Kalindi. She is a modern-day master. She beckoned all of the people there to join her for a 10-day Intensive. And she promised it would be "everything" we have been waiting for. She talked about God a lot which pushed my buttons right, left and center. But something inside of me whispered: "I have to go do this thing".

Within 2 weeks I hopped on a plane to San Diego and joined Kalindi for this Intensive with 11 fellow participants. read more...

Ian

Hi, my name is Ian. I am Rose's life partner and co-founder of the school for meditation. We live in Andalusia, Spain where we are building a meditation retreat called the "Secret Garden". You could say that this is the "home on earth" for the school for meditation, besides it being online available to the whole world.

As this world seems to become more and more crazier with the day our goal is to create a self sustaining farm and offer people to be part of it by visiting the retreat and/or participating in one of the meditation retreats being offered.

Personally, I am putting my heart and soul in this retreat and the school for meditation. I deeply dislike the illusion; the lies, the deceit and the things done in the name of truth but are born in untruth. I am passionate about meditation because for me IT IS the way out of the illusion. It is in my meditations where I find ways to let go and fill myself with the energy, love and presence to God - my savior, which I have come to know to be The Way.

One of the quotes from Gourasana close to my heart:

The only way out of the illusion

is to fill yourself with the presence of God

"I am looking forward to meet you at the school for meditation or maybe welcome you someday in the Secret Garden.

Until then....I wish you all the best on your journeys within."
