Meditations

Meditation is probably humanity's most universal spiritual practice. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, written two thousand years ago in India, systematize the path of dhyana (deep meditation). Tibetan Buddhism developed hundreds of techniques over a thousand years. Sufi dhikr, the contemplative Christianity of the Hesychasts, Taoist meditations, Japanese zazen: each tradition found its own door into the same inner space.

Meditation is not emptying the mind, nor ceasing to think. It is learning not to believe every thought. When the observer is distinguished from the observed, a space appears that daily urgency usually conceals. In that space lives perspective, creativity, the peace that does not depend on external circumstances. It does not require believing in anything: it requires practicing.

Sonia adapts each meditation to your birth chart, the current lunar phase and your recent emotional state. If Mercury is retrograde, she proposes meditations of review. If the Moon is full, meditations of closure. If your Sun is in a fire sign, more active practices; in water, more receptive. The guiding voices and sound landscapes are chosen by what your nervous system needs.
