A Six-Week Journey into Practice, Presence, and Inner Transformation
The beginning of a new year can be an invitation to pause, reflect, and renew our commitment to what matters most. Whether you are new to meditation or longing to reconnect with a practice that has fallen away, this six-week journey with Diana Meltsner offers an opportunity to begin again. Together, we will explore the practice and theory of meditation as a systematic and transformative way to cultivate and steady the mind, deepen self-awareness, and bring greater inspiration, meaning, and presence into daily life.

The course will be grounded primarily in Yogic and Upanishadic teachings and methods of meditation, while also introducing selected practices and perspectives from Buddhist meditation and Christian contemplative traditions. As we cultivate awareness and stillness, we create space to reconnect with our heart and soul and awaken the divine attributes of mercy, peace, and joy within us.

“When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.”
— Sri Ramana Maharshi

Each session will include teachings, guided meditation practices, and opportunities for discussion and reflection. Participants will also be invited to explore optional weekly challenges designed to support the integration of meditation into everyday life. Throughout the course, you will be encouraged to develop a personalized meditation practice that is sustainable and supportive of your authentic way of life.

Reason and Mystery; Two Lenses on the Same Reality, 7-day meditation course

Online

$54 | $47 Early bird, use promo code MEDITATE, exp. 3/30/26

Please register in advance; a Zoom link will be emailed 1 hour before the session, or join Zoom directly via your Momence dashboard.

Join Diana Meltsner—meditation teacher and teacher trainer—online for seven morning meditations and brief talks, held daily from Monday, April 6, through Sunday, April 12, 2026. 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.
