SoundMind Course Syllabus
SoundMind Meditation Course Syllabus [1:47]
The SoundMind Meditation course-work is divided into two volumes: Volume I - Breath Series and Volume II - Inner Body Series. Each Volume is divided into four levels and each level is divided into five sub-levels. As you progress through each level, the concept is to introduce a new aspect of the technique and then slowly ween you away from the guided meditation so that you can practice the meditation techniques on your own. The reason we do this is for you to learn each lesson without the need for external guidance. Ultimately we want you to meditate independent of any aides, and external guidance is very helpful in the beginning, but if it is relied upon it can eventually hinder your long-term progress. This method will guide you in the most intuitive and simple way towards a comprehensive understanding of the insight meditation techniques -Breath and Inner Body.
The success of this program will be to have you eventually NOT use it, and be your own guide. You will learn a technique which allows you to penetrate your deep subconscious mind. This deepest part of the mind is where your mental impurities lie, and is the very place where you will begin to undue lifetimes of mental conditioning. This is important because if we never undue this conditioning, we will never be liberated from the mental habit patterns which cause stress, anxiety, and all the other forms of mental agitation and suffering. These mental defilements can be purified using this insight technique. If you don't buy into the concept of multiple lifetimes, it doesn't matter, the technique works to undue the conditioning from this lifetime as well.
Each level of both Breath Series and Inner Body Series are structured as follows (N = level):
