Night meditation practice around MONS in the Hérault 34390
For years I have practised meditation outdoors, by day and by night.
Perceiving nature is a sublime starting point, one we must let go of at some moment to find the undivided light.
Our relationship with nature strips us of our ego; we feel fragile, yet in our right place in this intimacy. It is the starting point of SatChitAnanda, the great intentional phrase of India.
- Sat: is an action, that of being conscious there in the moment. It goes through simple, wordless perception of what Is. It plunges us into the present moment, where perceptions become strong and cut through thoughts.
This action is the first gateway; it leads to Chit.
- Chit: Chit is the appearance of Consciousness. Then the pure feeling of existence shows itself, and manifestation fades into its intrinsic nature, which is the void. Emptiness dawns, but we must not stop there, so as to go even further into the unspeakable. Then Ananda appears...
- Ananda: Bliss, and the walls of manifestation disappear. Here we are, outside everything, above all outside time and space, in a transformation of Consciousness that gives way to pure Presence...
Today I feel these moments should be shared!
So I invite you to come with me every Friday evening to beautiful places around MONS to share these magical moments.
Time after time, depth will appear; you simply need to practise and open your heart.
In winter this may take place in my practice room in MONS, at the Sadhana Peeth "Haimavati", or in other places you may suggest.
When the weather allows, we will go outside, which is much better!
Please contact me by phone or email to confirm you are coming.
God is not a belief, it is an experience!
Yoga exists solely to meet this depth.
The rest is given to us more or less along the way, and everything will be taken back from us.
Practice by free donation!

Meditation outdoors
There comes a moment when the practitioner likes to go outside to practise, leaving behind the conviviality and comfort of the practice room.
Outside, by day or by night, meditative practice truly finds its place in contact with manifestation.
Being able to meditate outdoors is a sublime moment, a communion with nature and with the elements that make us up.
A rare moment of deep reality where at last the character, its story, our sufferings and all the rest can be set aside to make room for Consciousness and communion with the whole!
The place is very often one that calls us, and that will allow us to perceive the different energies it intrinsically offers. Over time, a scale of values will build up within us, allowing us to perceive ever more finely the subtleties on offer.
This scale of values goes through connection with the elements present in the place: the energies of earth, water, fire, air and ether combine outside to "appear" or come alive in the heart and/or body of the practitioner, who comes into vibrational harmony with them.
This is the starting point towards the real experience of meditation, which will gently unveil itself from that moment on...
Yoga comes through "the heart's assent to reality".
Abhinavagupta
"If he manifests the world, he hides his essence.
If he reveals his essence, manifestation disappears".
