Why 'AuthentiCity'?
|
We have been training in meditation & mindfulness techniques for 22 years (Trisangma) and 11 years (Peter), with over 18,000 hours and 7,500 hours meditation time respectively.
The secular techniques we use are authentic and effective; they come from traditions that have been perfecting a science of the mind for over two and a half thousand years. By secular we mean open to all, inclusive of belief. We do our best to be authentic teachers, we will only teach you techniques that we have mastered for ourselves. You will be able to empirically validate any of the techniques we teach - we will never ask you to accept anything that you cannot verify for yourself. We won’t ask you to exchange one set of values for another, instead we will encourage you to strengthen your own inner authenticity, where more and more the actions you take align with the values you hold. This is a healthy and organic approach to reducing anxiety, remorse, dissonance, and inner turmoil. |

The Training
We like to think of ourselves as personal trainers for the mind, guiding you in your journey to reach peak mental fitness. We have a lot of experience helping long term meditators overcome the specific meditation obstacles they are facing. By challenging your mind to work with attention and awareness simultaneously, you will steadily increase the overall power of your mind.
Our Role
Our role is to introduce you to the meditation technique, and guide you going forward. You will create the tools you need to free yourself from unwanted habits and emotions, such as anxiety and depression, and enrich what you value most in life.
The Rewards
This training will steadily bring clarity, energy, and peace of mind. You will learn to combine a specialist's attention to detail while maintaining a broad perspective.
We approach our training through three main perspectives:

We approach our training through three main perspectives:
Secular Concentration: by training in attention and peripheral awareness simultaneously, we increase the overall power of our mind, bringing greater and greater degrees of mindful awareness into our everyday lives.
Secular Insight: our training in attention and peripheral awareness leads us to look at our own mind, what goes on there, and how it effects us from one moment to the next. These shifts in understanding or insights arise naturally as we begin to see the role our mind plays in our experience and in our actions.
Secular Values: simply observing the effects of our actions on those around us, and on our own peace of mind, we adapt our behaviour accordingly. It's up to us to enhance the positive states of mind we value, and reduce the negative states of mind we do not.
