Awakening: Satsang Intensive med Swami Dhyan Giten is an invitation, which can bring light on your path to inner awakening. Giten helps us to see what stands in the way of being in contact with our authentic inner being.

 It is an invitation to rediscover our authentic inner being, the inner silence and emptiness, the inner source of love and truth, the capacity to surrender to life. 

This Satsang Intensive also works as a prolonged shaktipat (transmission of spiritual energy), which both creates immediate result – together with effect that becomes obvious during the coming weeks and months after the intensive.

When Giten pursued an advanced training in spiritual healing in USA 1984, he was told that he had the capacity to become a seventh chakra healer, a spiritual healer, to act as a catalyst and channel for spiritual energy from the seventh chakra through the heart. The last 30 years has meant to develop and deepen this capacity to an instrument of subtle catalytic effect, which Giten uses in this Satsang intensive.

All are welcome to this journey towards inner awakening. This Satsang Intensive is a gift to ourselves on our way to spiritual awakening. 

SWAMI DHYAN GITEN, spiritual teacher and author, has more than 30 years of experience in individual counseling and in teaching awareness and meditation. He is trained in both modern psychology and in classic Eastern methods for awareness and meditation.

In 1982, when Giten was 23 years old, he was directed by the Divine presence in a trance session with the American trance chancellor Lin David Martin: “You have listened to your intuition, to your true inner voice, more than most. You have been searching for the contact with the Spirit for a long time and now it is beginning to manifest on the outer plane. You have been gifted many times in previous embodiments and now everything will come rather easy for you. I want you to put your energy into the lives of others, because you can”.

A spiritual teacher, who have counselled thousands of people, told Giten in 1984: “You will dissolve into the silence. All the earlier enlightened Masters and all the small Deva’s are just here to help you to get enlightened.”
He is author of the best-selling book Meditationens Sång (Swedish edition, www.adlbris.se), The Silent Whisperings of the Heart, Presence – Working from within. The Psychology of Being and The Language of Silence: From Darkness to Light (available at Lulu.com).

 

“Since I began to study for Giten, a new dimension of awareness has developed step by step, which has transformed my whole life.”

Emanuel Sjogren, musician and student to Giten

Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten in Stockholm: Only Truth Remains

 

Only Truth Remains

SATSANG

with

I have always had the capacity to go within myself and to discover the silence within, the inner meditative quality, the inner source of love and truth – the inner language of silence. Now I also notice that this silence is going deeper, and that I go beyond the ego and disappear into the silence. 

– Swami Dhyan Giten

During the fifth Satsang with Giten in Stockholm on Thursday, October, 17, Giten lectured about the fifth step of Vedanta’s 7 steps to enlightenment. 

The fifth step of Vedanta, of sadhana, of spiritual discipline, is Ego disappears, all desires disappears, the outer world disappears – only truth remains. 

 

“On the fifth step, the mind and the worldly desires of the seeker disappears – and only truth remains. A seeker on the fifth step appears introverted, tired and sleepy. On the fifth step, the seeker appears like a zombie, the seeker appears to be tired and drowsy even if he performs his daily activities. It can be difficult to function in the world. This step is a birth of a new consciousness, a new being. It is to fall into your original nature, your original being. The fifth step can be described as eyes without bottom, eyes as deep as existence itself.” 

– Swami Dhyan Giten

“The fifth step belongs to the dreaming consciousness. There are 4 levels of consciousness:

1. Waking consciousness, mind, the surface of the personality

2. Dreaming consciousness, mind

3. Sleeping consciousness, unconscious being

4. Turiya, the fourth state, conscious being, samadhi, enlightenment.” 

– Swami Dhyan Giten

The lecture was followed by 40 minutes of Satsang with Giten in silence and meditation. 

“On the fifth step, only truth remains. Truth can be described as that which never changes, as opposed to Maya, illusion, dream, separation from life, which is that which always changes, for example the mind, the body and worldly desires.”

 

– Swami Dhyan Giten 

 

During the autumn 2013, there is an opportunity for open Satsang with Giten during Thursday evenings in Stockholm.

Swami Dhyan Giten: God Is Everywhere

God Is Everywhere

Meditation expands our inner being. The inner being is like a small, individual river flowering towards the Ocean.

In meditation, I feel how my inner being expands into an inner ocean, which is part of everything, which is one with Existence.

Through the inner being, we come in contact with the inner ocean, the undefined and boundless within ourselves, where we are one with life. We realize that God is part of life. We realize that God is not a person, but the consciousness that is part of everything. We find God in a flower, in a tree, in the eyes of a child or in a playful dog.

Through discovering our inner being, we discover that we are also part of the flower, the child or the dog. We realize that God is everywhere.

Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten in Stockholm: Life Is One

SATSANG

with

 

The fragrance of Satsang with Giten on Thursday evenings in Stockholm is spreading, and people are coming to the Satsang in mysterious ways. 

It feels like Existence has already taken over the Satsang with Giten. It feels like the method for Satsang is to move out of your own way, to say “yes” and to flow with what happens. 

Marie Soderberg, a psychotherapist and a participant in Satsang with Giten, commented: “Good that existence has taken over – if it has not done that from the beginning.” 

During the fourth Satsang with Giten in Stockholm on Thursday, October, 10, Giten lectured about the fourth step of Vedanta’s 7 steps to enlightenment.

The fourth step of Vedanta, of sadhana, of spiritual discipline, is Non-duality, Only One Existence – One Being, One Existence, One Consciousness, One Truth. 

The first three steps of Vedantas’s 7 steps to enlightenment is the masculine phase, while the fourth step is the first step of the feminine phase. 

“The first three steps of Vedanta’s seven steps to enlightenment is the masculine phase. It is the phase of doing, effort, ego, commitment and will.

The first three steps are:

1. The oceanic feeling, heart, body, feeling God is everywhere in human beings, animals, flowers, stones and nature. Many seekers has experienced this oceanic feeling of oneness, which have created a longing and thirst in their heart and being to come back to this blissful and effortless way of being one with life.

2. Thinking, contemplation, meditation, training

the mind to be focused. Only a focused mind can

disappear.

3. Non-attachment, desirelessness, becoming

aware about desires and becoming the inner witness.

The fourth step is the first step of the feminine phase, of non-doing, of effortlessness, of allowing. The fourth step is about letting go, about not creating hindrances to our spiritual growth. It is a kind of death, not of the physical body, but of the ego.”

 

– Swami Dhyan Giten

“The first three steps has to be practiced, the first three steps has to be so deeply rooted in your being through your effort – and then the fourth step happens by itself. Suddenly you realize that there is non-duality, that only one exists, one being, one existence, one truth. You realize that life is one, that the sky is one”

 

– Swami Dhyan Giten

 

The lecture was followed by 40 minutes of Satsang with Giten in silence and meditation.

 

“The feminine phase is about flowing with the river of consciousness, to flow with the Ocean of consciousness, to flow with Samadhi. One day the river will reach the ocean.”

– Swami Dhyan Giten 

During the autumn 2013, there will be an opportunity for open Satsang with Giten during Thursday evenings in Stockholm.

During this evening, Giten was also invited to continue with Satsang in Stockholm during the spring 2014.

Swami Dhyan Giten: Love Is Not An Exclusive Relationship With Another Person

Toshen, a beloved friend of Giten since many lives wears the Missoni designer scarf that she received as a gift from Giten

“Love is not an exclusive relationship with another person; love is the quality that arises when we are in contact with our inner being, with our authentic self, with the meditative quality within, with the inner silence and emptiness. This inner emptiness is experienced by others and is expressed on the outside as love. This love is not addressed to a specific person; it is a presence and quality that surrounds a person like a fragrance.”

Satsang with Swami Dhyan Giten: Non-attachment and desirelessness

Satsang with Giten:

NON-ATTACHMENT

AND DESIRELESSNESS

“A Strong Session”

Emanuel Sjoberg,

musician and student to Giten since 5 years

 

SATSANG

with

During the third Satsang with Giten in Stockholm on Thursday, October, 3, Giten lectured about the third step of Vedanta’s 7 steps to enlightenment. Emanuel Sjoberg, musician and student to Giten since 5 years, commented on the lecture that words can really be healing.

The third step of Vedanta, of sadhana, of spiritual discipline, is non-attachment and desirelessness as a basic step to enlightenment. Non-attachment is a basic step for a seeker of love and truth.

“ The mind has the capacity to become attached to things and to people, for example sex, feelings, family, power, money, fame, love, relationships and spirituality.

A wavering mind can not get non-attached. Only a non-wavering mind can get non-attached. Ordinarily the mind is wavering and moves from one thought to another.

Concentration means that the mind has to be trained to retain one thought, one object, for longer periods of time.

Unawareness is attachment and desire, awareness is non-attachment and desirelessness.”

– Swami Dhyan Giten

“The two first steps of Vedanta is a preparation to be with somebody who knows, it is a preparation to be with a teacher of meditation. Before you have reached the third step, you will not be ripe to be with a teacher in meditation.”

– Swami Dhyan Giten

“The third step Non-attachment includes karma. Karma is the actions of the past, which is accumulated in the mind. Karma can both be positive and negative merit. The karma can be of three qualities: 1. Karma that is activated during the day 2. Karma that is activated during one life and 3. The accumulated karma of all previous lives. This accumulated karma governs the circle of birth and death.”

– Swami Dhyan Giten

 

The lecture was followed by 30 minutes of Satsang with Giten in silence and meditation where a deep presence and silence is developing. “A strong session”, concluded the participant Emanuel Sjoberg.

“On the third step, you begin to get glimpses of the authentic inner being. You begin to get glimpses of enlightenment, which in Japan is called satori.”

– Swami Dhyan Giten

 

During the autumn 2013, there will be an opportunity for open Satsang with Giten in Stockholm.
