Meditation Retreat - Altered Consciousness States

This retreat will explore how we alter consciousness through natural means. We will explore the mystery of being and the mystery of consciousness, whilst experientially touch upon the science of consciousness in meditation with reference to the work of cognitive neuroscientists Dr Anil Seth and Dr Donald Hoffman. Most importantly, we will explore the field of consciousness that is beyond body, mind, birth, life & death. The diamond sutras often refer to this as "cultivating a mind that dwells nowhere."
This field of consciousness is what the great yogis and now scientists have explored throughout the ages, namely radical ego dissolution.On a personal level, we will explore both resistance and surrender within, noticing how the mind dictates heavily what we do and don’t want. The deep spiritual teaching lies in the recognition that the World isn’t always going to give us what we want. Our minds are constructing a reality of what we think we want. Therefore it is wise that we remain open, without expectation, to the moment unfolding right in front of us. What is unfolding in front of us is the reality of where our consciousness meets the moment that just is.“You attract and manifest whatever corresponds to your inner state.”Eckhart TolleLet us explore the radiance behind all that is…For those who wish to make this retreat part of a meditation teacher training course, do explore the following options:110hrs https://biyome.com.au/course-pages/110mtt/330hrs https://biyome.com.au/course-pages/330mtt/
