Samyama offers a way of meeting each moment of life. Whether it is an ordinary moment in our day-to-day lives (like sitting in traffic when you are late for an appointment), or one of unusual trauma, grief, joy, or pleasure. The practice of Samyama helps us to open to what is, as it is. Allowing us to experience the perfection of Life as it is, no matter how it appears. This is so even in the most heart-shattering experiences. Samyama alleviates the suffering of wanting things to be different than they are–no matter what they are.
Samyama can assist us to dissolve painful psychological states and the layers of protection over our hearts. Forgiveness, love, compassion, and joy arise naturally. We can give up struggling and agonizing. This is not a method to fix what is wrong. Samyama consistently reveals so beautifully that there is nothing wrong, and no one needing to be fixed. It leads us to realize that every wound is a portal to the Holy, if we can be present enough to recognize it. Samyama teaches us presence.
Samyama is a simple heart centered practice that is a way of being with whatever arises in each moment.
