Philosophy
We live in a time of rapid change. Growth, change, and transformation are part of the very nature of life. Change can be frightening. But it can also be inspiring and open up new possibilities.
The Dalai Lama often says, “We all want to be happy. We all want to avoid being unhappy.” The Dalai Lama, along with Eckhart Tolle, Gangaji, and Preetha, are very important and inspiring teachers to me.
Eckhart Tolle teaches that identifying with the contents of the mind causes suffering. Gangaji heard from her master, Papaji, that complete stillness – including the complete stillness of the mind – gives us access to our true nature. Preetaji teaches that the idea that we are separate beings causes suffering within ourselves and in others.
Each of them, in their own slightly different way, points to our unconditioned nature. It is such an essential part of human nature that a lack of connection with it is, in itself, an imbalance.
My philosophy is based on the idea that we can all strive to strengthen our connection with our unconditional nature, and thereby move toward greater peace and presence.
In this way, the wounds of the past begin to heal, and the longing for “something” gradually transforms into a contentment that the mind alone cannot experience. The dysfunction of the average mind, with its fears and sense of lack, gradually transforms into ever-increasing joy, a natural willingness to respect every manifestation of life, to bow to life, and to cooperate with life with the highest intelligence and wisdom available.
To support this movement, change, and development, Prana Visions utilizes breathwork, meditation, dynamic movement, and other tools.
