Tethered Falcon (60 min) Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity

In St. Augustine's words: "And being thence warned to return to myself, I entered into my inward self, .... And I entered, and with the eye of my soul (such as it was) saw above the same eye of my soul, above my mind, the Unchangeable Light. Not this common light, which all flesh may look upon, nor, as it were, a greater one of the same kind, as though the brightness of this should be much more resplendent, and with its greatness fill up all things. Not like this was that light, but different, yea, very different from all these. Nor was it above my mind as oil is above water, nor as heaven above earth; but above it was, because it made me, and I below it, because I was made by it. He who knows the Truth knows that Light; and he that knows it knows eternity. Love knows it. O Eternal Truth, and true Love, and loved Eternity! You are my God; to You do I sigh both night and day." Confessions, Book VII, Chapter X
How do you touch this light or love yourself? How do you bring a consciousness of who we really are to the fore? And can you touch this truth, experiencing it directly yourself, if you don't believe in "God"? Indeed you can! Medieval Masters like Hafez and Augustine shared a way of accessing these truths and their words are the source of inspiration for this 60 minute version of the "Tethered Falcon" guided meditation. (Pro-tip: cover your eyes with your right hand during the covered falcon / darkness parts of the meditation)
