Monday Meditations – All are Welcome

Happiness Beyond Thought

“What do I need to give up? The car, the money, the house. What??? No, not so easy, give up the one doing the doing. Simpler, but much harder. The final great surrender, and the only one that matters.  Only then, only then, That.” – Gary Weber

The community was in full attendance for the initial launch of a new weekly event at the Myra House. Jason Gorenstein, a Myra House community member, will be hosting communal meditations Monday night’s beginning at 7:30 p.m. Jason has most recently studied under a significant figure in the non-dual movement, Gary Weber, and has acquired amazing techniques in leading meditations to help all those involved promote silence in our mind and mindfulness in our hearts. The basic sequence for last nights gathering was yoga, self inquiry, yoga, shavasana (lying down meditation). Jason organically incorporates free flow yoga postures and stretches into the time which provides a fine compliment to the stillness.  The session that he lead us through is one for people with any kinds of experience or non-experience in meditation and yoga as his respect for the individual and uniqueness of every body and mind is amazingly present as there is no forcing of anything.

This mantra that he has incorporated into his teaching and living practice is one of the upmost importance.  When the realization that difference is a characteristic that we should revel in as opposed to resist, our world and our relationships with people, animals and the environment become much more respectful and delicate.  We are all unique expressions of the same divine light, consciousness and it is this that we must remember. All other persons and aspects of this life are different pieces of the collective self that are the most precious learning tools and mirrors which promote self-realizations. The continuous collection of present moments which we are hooked up to provides this necessary washing anew to see all persons with a clear lens without bias’s and prejudices that we carry over from the past and other tangential experiences.
