The Lotus School of Meditation
We meditate in order to reflect back to the world our inner reality,
rather than allowing the world to reflect to us who we are

(channelled from Guru Rinpoche by Fotoula Adrimi)
The School offers a holistic approach to meditation that encompasses movement, silence, conscious breathing, sacred sound/mantras, gratitude, love and kindness and guided meditation practices. Some of these practices originate from the Buddhist and Hindu spiritual traditions, some from the ancient world, while others are universal. The meditation school aims to bring together the wisdom from different spiritual traditions and weave them in a way that is accessible to the western mind.

What is meditation?
Meditation is an ancient spiritual practice, the purpose of which is spiritual awakening beyond physical form. Ancient cultures created meditation practices to harness the power of the Divine inside the body and the Universal Divine Energy (Prana) that exists everywhere. These practices were designed to bring together the body and mind and awaken the Divine Heart. Meditation, in this context, is a way of becoming aware of the bigger perspective whilst in a human body.
Taking incarnation as a human being, offers us this wonderful opportunity, to awaken our Divine Consciousness whilst living in a physical form. The ancient world appreciated this as one of the most significant gifts of taking a human birth.

Why meditation helps the evolution of the soul
Meditation is the bridge for the soul to link with its Divine origin
The evolution of the soul is about becoming aware of who we are and the immense possibilities that lie within us. Society has defined us by a very narrow and restrictive framework. In the esoteric tradition, our soul has to realise itself. We take incarnation within different societies and different realities, where we are invited to acknowledge our own gifts beyond the social conditioning. Meditation is a way of discovering the core of who we are – a Divine Being living in a body, through choice.
The evolution of the soul takes place through experiencing different realities and through acknowledging our responses to various circumstances. At some point we realise that we have to make different choices than those our conditioned mind would have us take. At this point we are listening to the voice of our wisdom mind. Our challenge is to continually value and listen to this voice beyond the conditioning. Meditation helps us dive into the wisdom mind, to hear the voice of our soul essence and differentiate between this voice, and the voice of the conditioning.
