Home > Health > Alternative > Meditation > Individualized Instruction

These sites offer personalized, individual training in meditation, not just books and tapes. Meditation, as a state of consciousness, can't be "taught," but it can be "caught." Personalized training is the only reliable way to learn it. The teacher offers step-by-step instructions. Meditation unfolds in levels or stages, and the method must be modified for each stage. The student reports on his/her progress. The teacher asks questions. The student asks questions. Both must be extremely honest in conveying their experience, not opinions. The teacher is skillful in guiding the student around the obstacles in their psychic space, and also has a direct influence on the student's meditation by an intervention the teacher performs called "opening the window." When successful, the student gains access to experiences that were previously unimaginable or dismissed as fantasy. Yet the memory of the state now regained is what drew the student all along.
