What the meditation teacher does
The meditation teacher essentially guides the students into entering themselves.
Since there are many ways and methods of meditation, the teacher will be able to use musical instruments (sound meditation) , recorded music that has precise effects on the body and the psyche, voice (the example of Vedic singing and the recitation of mantra), visualizations expressed verbally.
The duration of the meditation session varies according to the type of meditation being practiced and the level of the class, if attended by subjects more or less accustomed to practice consistently.
Become a meditation teacher
For those who are following a serious path to becoming yoga teachers or other kind of oriental disciplines, meditation is a fundamental component. Even in martial arts such as tai chi chuan, there is no movement (expression of Yang energy) without recollection, the silent development of presence (Yin energy that manifests and nourishes).
The real way to become meditation teachers is ... to meditate . Constancy in meditation is fundamental. We invite aspiring teachers to be wary of short courses.
Attention also to intensive retreats: an unprepared mind can remain in the flow of thoughts without grasping the true meaning of silence as an opportunity to walk away from oneself.
Beyond the schools, we would like to remember that the meditation of Buddha Śākyamuni and other essays (like Osho Rajneesh) was not ascribed to any religion or philosophy or school but followed a personal path .
