Why meditate?
Our human potential is vast beyond comprehension. We all can be so much happier, more loving, more creative and intuitive, more in harmony with this vast universe. Achieving this and living a more fulfilled life is what Effortless Mind meditation is about. The means is here. It’s so easy a child can do it. So what is to stop us from living all we can be?
Why Effortless Mind® meditation?
There are many forms of meditation. But if you’ve looked around and tried some, you know that not all forms of meditation are equal.
Since 1970, Ajayan has traveled the globe exploring, practicing, and teaching a variety of meditation techniques. Always, during that time, he sought out techniques that are simple to practice and yet deliver the greatest results. Effortless Mind meditation is the culmination of that exploration. It consists of a balanced program of meditation combining highly effective techniques into a simple, elegant form of effortless meditation that anyone can do. Yes, anyone can do it, go deep into meditation from the first sitting, and effortlessly achieve peace, relaxation, and well-being.
Effortless Mind meditation is nothing new. It is just a name for a systematic teaching of deep meditation and related practices that have existed for centuries, put together in a fresh way, for our times, for the greatest ease and effectiveness. If there is anything special about it, it is unrestricted by any particular lineage or tradition—it draws from the best of many.
“I took the Effortless Mind Meditation course from Ajayan and practice it daily. From my first instruction, I was amazed at the sense of wellbeing and stillness I felt. I am so grateful for this program! I encourage anyone looking for a meditation practice to open the door to Pure Awareness through the Effortless Mind Meditation Course.”
