Join Diana Meltsner—meditation teacher and teacher trainer—online for morning meditations and brief talks. These sessions will focus on developing meditation that integrates two perspectives: Analysis and Mystery.

A life lived solely in analysis becomes brittle; a life lived solely in faith becomes ungrounded. But a life that can move fluidly between these modes becomes flexible, resilient, and wise. Can our meditation hold both perspectives?

The Analytical Mode asks:

• What is happening right now?
• What is the process here?
• What is skillful or unskillful?

The Mystical Mode asks:

• Can I be with this without needing to know?
• Can I trust the unfolding moment?
• What if the deepest truths are felt rather than understood?

Kena Upanishad:
“It is known to the one who does not know it.
It is unknown to the one who thinks he knows.”

We will explore practices that cultivate both the intellect and the mystical heart:

• Meditation that develops a narrow focus—grounded in analysis, discernment, and clear seeing
• Open-awareness meditation rooted in faith, mystery, and living in the question

These practices foster different types of attentiveness. Each expands our perception of reality and reflects the brain’s dual hemispheric functionality, which supports complex cognition, balanced behavior, and true discrimination—viveka.

Meditation, talk, discussion, and sharing will be included. Some experience with meditation is required.

Diana’s recent blog on this topic.

All sessions will be recorded and shared with participants for later viewing on a daily basis.
