CONTEMPLATIVE TRAININGS
The purpose of the contemplative training is to integrate the point of view of the philosophical teaching with the meditation. The guided meditation is meant to take the mind to the direct experience of wisdom.
Integration and Positioning the new wisdom perspective is the platform for transformation, therefore the emphasis of the Discerning Wisdom practice is in the process to take the meditator or practitioner from the conceptual phase first and then to the direct experience with a simple process of opening the conceptual layer in order to access to a space of mind more suitable for direct integration.
The practice of Mindfulness as mere attention is always in all the trainings as a base for giving rise to a suitable mind, where is not distract by the phenomena around.
The practice of Mindfulness as attentional tool is need it to start the journey of understanding the potential of the mind and achieve transformation through Discerning Wisdom. However there are other tools that can be practice in the midst of modernity and with these practices is possible to obtain stability in the mind and access to wisdom.
The programs created for the contemplative training, including philosophy and meditation, has the aim to give to the practitioner the immediate experience of well being.
In order to obtain the sensation of well being, two aspects should be involve, the aspect of Discerning Awareness, being the understanding of certain aspect of reality and the stability (mindfulness) of these experience. When these two are together is easier to access to a deeper layers of the mind.
In the case of beginners is good to separate the practice of Mindfulness and the aspect of Discerning Wisdom. In some cases is necessary and possible to have programs for different levels of practitioners beginner, medium and advance.
