About Us
AjNa - The Mind's Eye
In Dharmic spiritual traditions, the Ajna (third eye) refers to the gate that leads to the inner realms and spaces of higher consciousness. The third eye is said to be located around the middle of the forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows, representing the enlightenment one achieves through meditation. Buddhists regard the mind's eye as the "eye of consciousness", representing the vantage point from which enlightenment beyond one's physical sight is achieved.
What is meditation
Meditation in it's simplest form is the ability to calm and clear the mind (Samatha) to gain insight allowing us to gradually rid the mind of impurities or defilements (Vipassana). It is the ability to sit quietly and see things for what they really are, allowing us the opportunity for change if needed. No need for apps, chants or any outside assistance. This is pure Buddhist meditation and what we teach.

Important Information
I thought only buddhists meditated
Meditation is an exercise to help individuals calm and clear their minds REGARDLESS of their faith base. Christians, Muslims even Atheist's meditate.
I'm an anxious person, what if I cant calm down
Everyone suffers from some form of anxiety, from mild to extreme. This is exactly why you should learn to meditate, to possess the ability to calm down and reel in your anxiety.
how long does it take
Addressing the course, you need to commit to one hour per day, one day per week for 4 weeks to learn. After that most people meditate for 10 - 30 minutes per day.
is it hard to learn
Like most new things meditation is not hard to learn provided you are following instruction on the correct way to do it. If you download an app and try to meditate with no formal training or experience you will probably find it difficult. We take the guess work out of it and have had children as young as 8 years old complete the course.
what will i learn
The course is divided into four sessions. Session one deals with correct posture and the history and benefits of meditation, week two gives us an opportunity to look at our mind and see how it works, week three you learn focus, concentration, awareness, breathing and dealing with distractions and week four is our closing session with a hard look at how you are doing and any last minute guidance you may need.
ok, what's it cost
One on one and couple courses cost $100.00/person. Groups get a discount and we need to discuss how many people to arrive at a cost. Classes are currently held in the Himalayan Salt Room at Revitalize Pain & Stress Relief Centre in Sewickley or they can be done in the comfort of your home or place of business.
