For thousands of years, spiritual traditions have taught meditation as a way to quiet the mind, find inner peace, and connect with the true Self. Yet many people find meditation tedious and difficult, a never-ending struggle with thoughts and distractions. This has led to the popular misconception that meditation requires great discipline and years of practice.
From many years of teaching meditation, Peter Russell has found that people can easily and quickly settle into a deep meditation. The key is to give up all trying and effort. The beauty of this approach is that nothing needs to be changed or eliminated. We simply need to allow the mind to fully relax. Then meditation can become satisfying and enjoyable.
From the deep pools of Eastern wisdom, to the fast-paced rapids of the West, Peter Russell has mastered many fields, and synthesized them with consummate artistry. Weaving his unique blend of scientific rationale, global vision, and intuitive wisdom, Peter brings a sharp, critical mind to the challenge of self-awakening. The next great frontier of human exploration, he shows, is not outer space, but inner space—the development of the human mind.
He has degrees in theoretical physics, experimental psychology, and computer science from the University of Cambridge in England, and has written ten books in this area, including The Global Brain Awakens, Waking Up in Time, and most recently, From Science to God: A Physicist’s Journey into the Mystery of Consciousness.
Duration: 1 hours, 30 minutes
Originally studying mathematics and theoretical physics, Peter became increasingly interested in the nature of consciousness, and in the late sixties traveled to India, to study meditation and Eastern philosophy. On his return he established a meditation center in Cambridge, England, and went on to pioneer the introduction of personal growth programs to corporations. He is the author of a dozen books, including The Global Brain, Waking Up In Time, and From Science to God, and Seeds of Awakening. At SAND conferences he has led morning meditation sessions that people have found very helpful.For more information on Peter visit: https://peterrussell.com
