Vishoka Meditation

Fantastic meditation technique!

L'auteur connait son sujet mais on apprend des l'introduction que la Vishoka meditation n'est pas traité dans cet ouvrage ( qui porte pourtant ce titre) !!!!!! Ce sujet crucial concerne un second niveau que l'auteur décrit brièvement et ne propose pas de développer . Ce livre décrit en fait de long en large une méthode de diverses respirations associées a une concentration dans la tete , en vue d'entrer dans notre intériorité : c' est le b a ba , mais n'est PAS la Vishoka meditation ( comme l'auteur l'explique d'ailleurs clairement a plusieurs reprises ; car Vishoka méditation concerne le Lotus du Coeur).Qu'en est-il des méditants un peu avancés pour lesquels ce livre est inutile ?! Et qui en plus se voient décus par un titre trompeur !!!

As I read, The Secret of the Yoga Sutra, Samadhi Pada, also written by the author, Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, lovingly called Panditji by his students; I came across the the term Vishoka and I wanted to learn more. Little did I know that Panditji was teaching his most enlightened teachers, Vishoka Meditation with the intent that they would in turn teach their students. This practice is especially needed in our world at this time. I am fortunate enough to be a student of one of Panditji's teachers, Mary Johnston-Coursey.In this book you will find all the information you need to practice Vishoka Meditation, but I would recommend taking this class from a qualified teacher. With online learning, this is very available. As you practice Vishoka Meditation, samskaras, subtle karmic impressions, will come up and it is helpful to have a teacher with which to discuss your experiences. Samskaras are buried within our unconscious and are inadvertently guiding our life and producing unpleasant experiences.In addition to this book, Panditji has written many very good books, he is a gifted writer and communicator. I was fortunate enough to meet him and hear his wisdom at a Himalayan Institute in India. This book is must read for all spiritual seekers.

I have been a daily meditator for the past 13 years. In fact, my meditation was reviewed and slightly modified by the book author when I spent 1 month at the Institute in 1989. All I am willing to say is that daily prayer and meditation has transformed my life in a very positive way. The practical application of spiritual principals can be elusive. This book provides a clear, concise, how to...and I have added this knowledge to my daily practice. ("Knowledge is structured in consciousness" from a different Swami).

I took this class and bought the audible as well. Both are very helpful. My first yoga and meditation were from teachers from the Himalayan Institute 39 years ago. It is good to know Swami Rama's successor has brought the teachings to the public in clear ways to practice and receive. His other books are worthwhile reads as well.
