TEA SHOP Training in Effortless Awareness Workshop

Why TEA? Every human being can conceptually understand that body and mind are one’s instruments and not otherwise. Yet, in practice we see ourselves as slaves of the habitual compulsions of mind. Having the mind fully available, even for an interesting task, is almost impossible for most people.

More over, a majority of resources is wasted over what is immediately pleasing. This reduces our efficiency in doing what is appropriate. The root cause of most problems lies in the psychological pressure created by the habitual compulsions in the mind and our inability to be free of them.

Effortless awareness is a dimension of consciousness in each one of us that is ever free and is unaffected by the flux called mind. Consciously living this dimension gives us freedom ‘from’ the mind. This serves as a platform for the next step.

This is the transformation of ‘mind’ itself, a process where the mind returns to its natural way of functioning through a gradual elimination of the various forces that disturb its poise. This effortless transformation is a certain possibility; as the natural state of the mind is to be steady and poised.

As a result, the mind becomes one’s loyal instrument. It is then available for the moment, spontaneously, and integrally. Only then can we be the masters of our destiny. Such a mind has infinite possibilities and potential, including the ‘vision of the Absolute’.

This makes it an essential task for every human being who wants to live by that name. This means an ability to love unconditionally, to do what is right, by a mastery over desires, emotions and all unconscious forces. This can be achieved through systematic Training in Effortless Awareness given in the ‘TEA-Shop’ followed by right practice.

The collective and individual dimensions of the human psyche reflect and affect each other. Hence, the efforts towards harmony, happiness and efficiency at the collective level are incomplete and ineffective without a basic transformation at the individual level. In addition, we can see in history that a liberated individual mind has a tremendous impact on all mankind. This shows the supreme importance of individual transformation.

What is TEA? Training in Effortless Awareness (TEA), is called in the Indian spiritual tradition as Yoga. This was systematized by the sage Patanjali in his famous ‘Yoga Sutras’. TEA is a systematic approach that enables us to consciously live the dimension of ‘Effortless Awareness’, that is always present in our psyche. Integrating the TEA techniques with our way of life reveals a ‘new’ dimension of cognition, the ‘Witnessing Consciousness’.

Constant application of this uses the very nature of mind in its transformation and automatically eliminates all the disturbing forces in our psyche at their root level. This results in our complete abidance in the ‘dimension of Effortless Awareness’ that is our True Self. This is the state of liberation and freedom, that we can experience.

The medicinal system of ‘Ayurveda’ sees disturbance in consciousness as the root cause of disease. Thus TEA has a profound possibility in healing. TEA does not give you anything new. It just awakens you to your True Self. This awakening brings the body and mind back to their natural way of functioning by removing the root cause of disturbance.

The training is given in two levels, viz. dynamic and contemplative. Each level has different sets of courses. The TEA program recognizes the uniqueness of an individual. Hence the program includes personal consultation sessions apart from the group classes. Before commencing the program, each participant goes through a personal interview where they decide the courses they do at each level. This helps minimize sessions that might be redundant for a person.
