“Awareness-Based Meditation” by Elliott S. Dacher, M.D.

What if I told you a hardy resilience was already and always available to you? You may then ask, “How do I access this?” Let me explain. There are two distinct forms of resilience – psychological and spiritual. These correspond to the two aims of meditation. The first is fostering a healthy human life, psychological resilience. The second is leaping beyond to a larger fully conscious life, spiritual resilience.  

This program will focus on the second aim of meditation – spiritual realization and the revelation of our innate and unchanging resilience. This requires an awareness-based meditation practice – a traditional approach that is simple, direct, effortless, and yet profound. The great sages say – “how amazing we cannot see what is right there, right now, full and complete.” Join me for this discussion and practice that points us towards a true and stable resilience.

Elliott S. Dacher, M.D. practiced internal medicine for 20 years before redirecting his focus to the inner dimensions of health and healing. He embarked on a second medical education, studying the philosophies and practices of Eastern healing under the guidance of wise elders in Asia. Dr. Dacher teaches a profound yet effortless non-dual meditation practice. He is the author of five books, including Aware, Awake, Alive and Meditation and Beyond.
