Meditation - The perfume of life with Rajiv Kapoor

Are you yearning for joy in your life and living it in deep authenticity?

What is Meditation? Is it a technique, a method, or a school of thought? This is an important question to investigate as we begin our journey. Meditation surely is not what you think. Meditation is to come to a supreme understanding of how to observe our thoughts, feelings, body sensations, views and all phenomena without any division and evaluation. There are many techniques and methods but learning these in the pursuit of self-improvement is like having a flower without scent.

Meditation allows us to:

• Discover Trust and find Freedom as we are
• Connect more intimately and intentionally with all of our life
• Accept the fact that as humans we suffer

What is Meditation? How can it lead to deep human transformation? What is in the way? How can we become unified and available to all of life?

Let’s explore and investigate these questions together.

About Rajiv

I was born and grew up in Bombay, India surrounded by many ancient spiritual traditions. I was exposed to many gurus, lamas, mystics, masters, and their teachings but it still left me unresolved. I wanted to discover a whole man not split by polarizing forces, so I set off for another shore to discover the west. Much like an explorer and an investigative journalist, I studied Vipassana (Insight Meditation), Bioenergetics (Body Psychotherapy), worked in corporate leadership for over 2 decades, was a visual artist, and designed clothes—all in service of discovering a whole man and to speak to it.

I saw that the pursuit of self-improvement is in the way of being awake, and that awareness can flower only when you can see things as they are, without any division. I discovered that renunciation was possible without leaving worldly life—a dance with life with tremendous energy and joy in it.

Seeing all this clearly—I felt a palpable connection and resonance with all of life. It prepared me to become available and to offer direction with no one and nothing excluded.
