Three sequential 8-week courses, delivered via our interactive e-learning platform. Weekly lessons are released to the student dashboard, complete with posting and meditation assignments. Supportive discussion groups of 4-7 students, guided by caring and qualified NMM Facilitators, anchor engagement. One-on-one student-teacher meditation check-ins via Zoom aid immeasurably in deepening and refining personal practice. Manageable final assignments enhance integration. Each Octave builds on the one before, but there's no obligation to continue from Octave to Octave.

The Second Octave addresses personality and techniques for understanding and working with it constructively, with techniques for ever-deepening levels of concentration and personal development. Sample lessons include:

  • Dealing with What Comes Up: Undergoing Catharsis
  • Working with Afflictions
  • Wedding the Consciousness to the Psyche 
  • Introduction to Natural Mind Meditation Yoga
  • Recognizing the Psyche as the Neutral Witness
  • Developing Concentration Without Using a Support
  • The Experience of Meditation

The Third Octave introduces what is traditionally known as Vipasyana (Intuitive Insight meditation) and completes the theoretical groundwork for Natural Mind Meditation, which culminates in the super-conscious state of integration known traditionally as Samadhi. Sample lessons include:

  • Understanding the Process as a Whole
  • The Four Yogas: One-pointedness; Non-proliferation; One-taste; Non-meditation
  • Natural Mind Meditation Yoga Evolved
