Space is Infinite.
Silence is Eternal.

Space is Beauty that shapes everything.
Silence is Love that sustains everything.

My name is Richard. I am a seeker, practicing Self-inquiry. I am taught by two Sages, Nome and Russ. They have been teaching Self-inquiry in the San Francisco Bay area for more than 25 years, at SAT (The Society of Abidance in Truth) in Santa Cruz. The focus of their teaching is very much on Self-inquiry as taught by Ramana Maharshi. They both came to Self-Realization through Self-inquiry.
Natural Yoga is when identification with the movement of the mind is absent.
It is the unity of Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga that honours the original intention
of the ancient sages. Yoga is supremely beneficial physically, and, it is a means
to uplift one’s consciousness and attune spiritually.
Natural Yoga is composed of classical yoga poses, guided relaxation,
meditation, and the exploration of living answers to living questions.
Practitioners of all levels benefit from the group setting, the diversity of
the postures, and Nisarga’s particular emphasis on the Art of Listening.
A chariot is not asserted to be other than its parts,
Nor non-other. It also does not possess them.
It is not in the parts, nor are the parts in it.
It is not the mere collection [of its parts], nor is it their shape.
[The self and the aggregates are] similar.
