I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “What you focus on grows,” right? Well, through these techniques, a gateway to wellbeing opens wide. The practice of focusing your attention never ends. On the contrary, it becomes more refined, more subtle, more harmonious and lighter. It truly is the best game in town.

Então, um dia, percebi que estava engajada, e até mesmo tinha uma relação próxima, com os pensamentos, sentimentos, emoções, crenças, conceitos e vozes que pareciam estar acontecendo dentro de mim. E então eu simplesmente parei. Soltei. Permiti-me repousar na quietude do momento.
I surrendered my attention to the presence that exists now – to the infinite field in which everything exists now, to the underlying reality of everything, to free observation, to the source that loves everything just as it is. And there I found myself. There I remembered; I woke up.

When we subtract all that is required simply to sustain the body or fulfill society’s demands, what remains? A handful of years, perhaps, that could be called truly our own. The hours of wonder, of laughter, of deep conversation and quiet reflection —these are the rare coins of consciousness amid the currency of habit.

I started on this journey of seeking inner peace about twenty years ago. At that time, I stumbled upon the Ishayas’ Ascension meditation practice. Its simplicity, its purity, its quick results and the radiance that emanated from the teachers, spoke to my heart.

“Commitment” can seem like a scary word sometimes. In my younger days, I would rebel against the concept, rejecting it as the end of my individual freedom of choice.

The Ishayas’ Teaching is that experiencing peace, love and oneness with the world is our natural state. That we are beings with unlimited creative potential – we are luminous and Divine.

I didn’t know why it was so difficult for people to be kind to one another or why we treated nature with such disregard. I also noticed friends and adults around me were often sad or struggling.
