Please see the guideline below:

“I Meditate London” – Instruction to Lead a Session

 

Prepare:

·       Meditations from the following CDs only:  ‘Eternal Reflections’ and ‘A Gift of Silence’.

·       CD player.

·       Mailing list and pens. Nadishodhana instruction copies, IML leaflets.

·       Open the windows, dim the lights; light a candle if possible.

 

IML Session Structure– 1hour:

·       Introduction

·       Nadishodhana/ alternate nostral breathing:

·       Meditation

·       Home Instructions

 

·       Introduction:

Welcome everyone.

Introduce yourself and IML project in few words.

Explain them what you are going to do.

Say a few words about a meditation: “We are going to do a very simple yet powerful meditation – it’s a guided meditation so you simply relax, keep your eyes closed and effortlessly follow the instructions. Do not resist any sensations! Be with whatever is happening, etc.”

You may add: “Meditation is an art of doing nothing. I want nothing and I do nothing for next 15-20 minutes. You only breathe. Do not make an effort to think ‘I want nothing’ and ‘I do nothing’ - Just an effortless attention.”

 

·       Nadishodhana/ alternate nostral breathing:

Ask to switch off the mobile phones, sit comfortable with the spine straight.

We will start with the breathing technique called Nadishodhana/ alternate nostral breathing technique, which helps to calm the mind and balance both sides of the brain that allows getting effortlessly into meditation. (*See nadishodhana instruction).

First show. Then do 1 cycle together with the group with the eyes open, ask them if everything is clear, then do together with eyes closed 2 rounds (5min each) with few minutes (1-2min) break between rounds. During the break ask them to keep their eyes closed and palms facing upwards and observe the sensations.

(If there is not enough time then do just one round.)

 

·       Meditation:

After second round of nadihodhana pranayama ask them to keep their eyes closed and get ready for the meditation. Remind them to keep eyes closed throughout the meditation, relax, without an effort follow the instructions and do not resist any sensations.

Then play Guruji’s meditation.

 

·       Home Instructions:

Ask how they felt, if meditation was good.

Explain them how to do nadishodhana at home. Give them printed instructions with your contact details.

Invite them for the next session. Ask if they would like to be on the mailing list to receive more information about our sessions and give them mailing list to leave their contact details.

Hari,
The session today is at 6:45. Contact Uday if you wish to join. I sent you the details in the other email
As Uday has mentioned its not an intro talk so the suggestion is to set up a regular meditation group
You can can have free venues from healthy planet and run it regularly
Also, we use bellows breath as well as alternate nostril breathing. You choose and as Uday was saying go creative :):)
Good luck dear ! :)
