Meditation is not just a way of making your mind quiet. It is a way of entering into the quiet that is already there - hidden under the 50,000 thoughts we think every day.

According to Mayo Clinic and other sources, meditation is a type of mind-body medicine. We can think of it as a Bio-Hack. It has been practiced for thousands of years.  It is based on the premise that we have an ability to go inward to quiet the mind and settle the body. (https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/meditation/about/pac-20385120)

We have within us a source of energy - an infinite source of energy - that we are expressing as our life, as our thoughts feelings and desires.   This source of energy that resides within us, has an auto catalytic or automatic  expression: it goes by itself and it expresses by its own will.

Some people call this source Quantum Field or Unified Field.   Some people call it Creative Intelligence.  It’s all the same form with many different names. It’s all the same energy. This energy moves within us creating the physical, mental and emotional qualities that form our life.  

As humans we can reverse engineer the outward expression of this energy from its source so that we can literally tap into that source of energy, and have more control over our thoughts feelings and desires. Over time, we can choose how we want our life to be and how we want our life to look.  

Before we have the ability to tap into that source of energy, we are at the mercy of whatever our blueprint wants to express. We make choices on a surface level without having an understanding of the effects of our choices. While they may seem to be good choices, those choices may actually have a bad outcome. 

We want to have good outcomes in all aspects of our life.   We must have the ability to think and perceive on subtle levels of thought and feeling so that we can pick and choose outcomes before they sprout in the material world.   Self Recognition Meditation SRM™ allows us to effortlessly think at subtle levels. Hence, we have more control over our life.

The Self Recognition Meditation SRM™ organization offers a variety of meditation classes and workshops.  The techniques are based on ancient practices from India.  One of those practices is called Bhavateet Dhyana (meditation that transcends thoughts and emotions - moving toward the Infinite.  In other words, transcending or going beyond the outward experience and entering into a profound inner experience of the Self).  More information is available in FAQ/Downloads, including definitions of various concepts and our lineage.

Bhavateet Dhyan is taught by Dandi Swamis and was taught by Swami Brahmananda Saraswati, Shankarcharya of Jyotir Math.  In addition, our approach includes knowledge from literature cognized and expounded upon by an ancient Rishis.  These ancient traditions inform us of the deep and profound process and experience of recognizing one's true nature.  For more information on our lineage, go to FAQ Downloads.

The knowledge base that supports our program is both Vedic and pre Vedic. It begins thousands of years, starting with the work of Brahmarishi Mayan. He cognized how Pure Consciousness transforms itself into the material world (a process called vastureva vaastu).  Our knowledge base therefore includes, Mayonic Science (named after Brahmarishi Mayan), Pranava Veda, Veda, Kashmiri Shaivism, Sri Vidya and other ancient traditions.  These fields of inquiry were originally focused on the science of developing consciousness.   

Over time, due to a loss of knowledge, many studies and methods for developing consciousness became religious beliefs and superstitions.   We at SRM, have returned to the original knowledge of these sciences for developing consciousness.   We are neutral in religious matters.  Any individual can practice SRM while following his or her own professed religion with no conflict.

Self Recognition Meditation™ is a mantra meditation with a unique mantra selection process.  Unlike other meditations in which mantra selection is based on age or some other surface method, the mantras we select are individually chosen to be vibrationally matched with the student's own internal vibration.  This method of mantra selection is unique to our program, as it has been long forgotten through time.  

The SRM method of how to use the mantra differs significantly from any other mantra meditation and it leads to a profound expanded awareness. With most transcending meditations there is a loss of awareness that can lead to feeling "spaced out."  This meditation leads to an expanded awareness while in the transcendent state.  That expanded awareness eventually leads to an overall experience of expanded awareness during waking, dreaming, and deep sleep.  This may result in greater creativity, peace of mind, and more productivity.  

Our program of Self Recognition Meditation SRM™, a mindful transcending meditation technique, provides a simple, effective, and effortless path to to help you on your personal journey to develop your life in an integrated manner.

Submit to a daily practice.  Your loyalty to that is a knock on the door of your Inner Being.  Keep knocking, and the joy inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there.  Rumi
