 Ram Dass leads a 35 minute meditation, originally recorded January 1981, in Sydney Australia. 

Ram Dass guides a soma (divine nectar) meditation, focusing on drawing the living spirit in through the breath and body - and releasing the stuff in you that is keeping you from being with the universe: fears, negativity, doubt, inadequacy, anger, loneliness...replenishing your body with healing energy. Release the things you don't need in order to be in the spirit. 

Soma Guided Meditation With Ram Dass

On this special day honoring women around the world, we are pleased to present this unique meditation from Ram Dass on the Divine Mother. Ram Dass recalls how Maharaji would always speak to the Westerners of the importance of Divine feminine energy. As young men and women in those early days with Him, it was clear that their path to becoming whole and complete in their search for unconditional love, compassion, and wisdom depended on our relationship with the Divine Feminine.

Love Serve Remember: Reimagined Preview - Liquid Bloom - An Opening Reimagined (ft Moondrop)

- How do we move beyond our desire to perpetuate experiences into a place where we can be free to enjoy the present moment?
​- How do we recognize moments of awakening and move into a place of identifying with the soul?
- How do we learn to embrace simplicity and spaciousness and move into harmony in a way that benefits those around us?
How do we learn to honor our incarnations while remaining free of attachment?

From tragedy to elation, moments of awakening come in many forms. When we recognize that we were born in order to work through attachments in ourselves that keep us bonded to our separateness, the meaning our of lives change. We see the potential for our souls to awaken to their true nature. From then on, everything in our life becomes a vehicle for awakening and we are free to open ourselves to all forms of the universe...

From Separation To Source

Ram Dass leads a 28-minute Vipassana meditation on bringing our mind to one point through the breath. This process must be done gently, the mind must remain soft, subtle, buoying and light. 

As your mind begins to concentrate, emotions will rise to the surface - greed, lust, doubt, anger, agitation… just notice them, don’t feed them or judge them - then gently return to the breath.

We keep the awareness gently riding on the breath, noting sensations rising and then passing away, like leaves floating down the stream.

"IMAGINE" is an immersive project that blends a very unique early 70's Ram Dass meditation with an audio soundscape created by Boreta (of The Glitch Mob). We invite you to submerge yourself into the depths of your consciousness, to discover the possibility of truth.

We hope you find expansiveness and joy in this experience, whether you are an experienced meditator or have no experience - there is no right or wrong way to be with what is; it only requires that surrender into the waves of awareness.

BEHIND THE PROJECT
When I spent time with Ram Dass in Maui recently, he asked me about our music. I said, “We take the love that people give us and send it back out as music. It’s a feedback loop.”

“Ah,” he stopped me, grinning. “That’s your ego talking. You see that? Your ego gives and takes. It manipulates. Your true essence is to simply be the love. There’s nothing to do there.”

It’s a subtle difference but I sit with this every day. He’s not saying that our ego is bad; we need it, too. He’s saying that there’s a seat of consciousness behind the thinking mind that is pure love. Or call it pure awareness, or God. Same thing. When you access that place, you simply just be. There’s nothing to do there, no desire to attempt to change yourself or anyone else. You are perfect just as you are. I’ve felt it and it’s liberating.

I am honored to present this collaboration with Ram Dass. It’s an homage to someone who has pointed me in the right direction. We hope it brings you joy. Set aside 30 mins and dive deep.

IMAGINE

"IMAGINE" - Ram Dass & Boreta

When Ram Dass returned to the United States from India in August, 1972 after being with his guru, Neem Karoli Baba (Maharaji), he appeared on a radio show and spoke about the experience for the first time.

Ram Dass Starter Kit - Clip 1 - Channels of Awareness

Ram Dass leads a guided meditation centered on noticing what you are directly experiencing in the moment, and simply letting it all just be as it is.

Just Be – Meditation

Ram Dass leads a guided meditation straight to the center, where you can rest in the quietness of your heart. When you look at the universe from that center point, you can begin to see the true nature of existence.

The Center – Meditation

Ram Dass guides a meditation meant to help you process the events of daily life that reflect your attractions and aversions. It is a process of digesting life experiences and bringing them back into the center.

Back Into The Center – Meditation

Ram Dass guides you to a place of pure light in the middle of your chest and reminds you that you are this light – your body is just the container. But it is not enough to just see our own light, we need to see that everyone has this light within.

The Light – Meditation

Ram Dass guides a meditation around softening the sharp edges of life and resting in love.  You can learn to live life with a heart that is wide open.

Resting In Love – Meditation

Ram Dass guides you straight into your heart cave – it is a place beyond all forms and limits, a place for letting go. He then leads a Metta, or LovingKindness, meditation, and closes the session with a mantra.

The Heart Cave – Meditation

Ram Dass guides a meditation where you are interpenetrated with the guru – a being of total light, love, and compassion. From this place, you can start to experience more and more of the universe as within you.

                              

Guru Meditation

Ram Dass leads you through a series of reflections on suffering – suffering in this world, suffering others have caused us, suffering we have caused others. How do you find balance in the horrible beauty of the natural world?

Reflections On Suffering – Meditation

Ram Dass leads a meditation experience called visualization, where you imagine the guru that is within expands in size until you are beyond space, time, and thought. Experience the truth that this being is your true self.

Beyond Space And Time – Meditation

Ram Dass leads a meditation using the Heart of Aditya (the sun god) mantra: Aditya Hridayam Punyam Sarva Shatru Vinashanam.

Aditya Hridayam – Meditation

Ram Dass leads a meditation using the Gate, Gate mantra: Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha.

Gate Gate – Meditation

Ram Dass leads a meditation using the Sri Ram mantra: Sri Ram, Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram.

Week 6 Meditation - Sri Ram Jai Ram

The Chord of Love: Readings by Ram Dass & Devotional Songs by Amazing Grace 

In the 60s and 70s many of us journeyed to the East in search of 'something'. In the foothills of the Himalayas, some of us were graced to touch the living spirit through our guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Being with the devotees surrounding him, we were opened to "bhakti yoga" the path of the heart. Through song, poetry, myth and prayer, we were reminded that ultimately there is only the Beloved. Now, many years later, when even a few of us gather, we share, as you will hear on this recording, extemporaneously, the words and songs that remind us of the Beloved yet again. Join us in the Ocean of Love.

13 - Devi Puja-Jai Jagatambe by Krishna Das

This meditation is drawn from Theravada (Southern Buddhism) called "Anapana" - just bringing you to right here, and it's done through the breath. Out of all of our individual differences, what is common to us is we are all breathing in, breathing out. 


Ram Dass Breathing Meditation

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
