Vishoka Meditation® 40-Day At-Home Practice (Feb 2024)

The Vishoka Meditation 40-Day At-Home Practice is a 6-week (once per week) webinar designed to help you begin or intensify your at-home Vishoka Meditation practice. This program is specifically designed for students who have already taken the Vishoka Meditation Course, and is a 40-day home practice that will focus on experiential refinement of Vishoka Meditation rather than learning the techniques. The key to unlocking the full potential of Vishoka Meditation is systematically cultivating a living experience through practice.

In this program, we’ll deconstruct the Vishoka Meditation system into a series of steps so you can build a strong foundation of preparatory practices before we dive into the complete practice of Vishoka Meditation. Learn how these techniques are sequenced, refined and integrated into a complete, living practice.

“Vishoka Meditation is the legacy of a long line of masters who realized that transcending pain and sorrow is crucial to finding lasting happiness…The secret of mastering the practice lies in the precision and effortlessness employed in uniting the mind and breath and turning their united forces inward. Mastery further depends on two things: first, adhering strictly to the sequence of techniques for uniting the mind and breath and turning them inward; and second, exercising patience.” – Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, PhD, Vishoka Meditation
