Shri Raam Institute of Meditation’s Teacher Training Program, in the tradition of the Himalayan Masters, is a transformational program for creating skilled meditators who are rigorously trained and qualified to teach the ancient spiritual practice known as Superconscious Meditation which brings the individual into union with the highest state of consciousness, far beyond the waking, dreaming, and sleeping realities, as the eternal residence of the True Self. Attaining such a state of mastery does not happen quickly, it occurs with beautiful slowness as each aspirant refines and shapes the totality of their being. Profound benefits occur at the very beginning of this journey which are compounded and expanded with each additional step! A teacher of Superconscious meditation is a master all of the preparatory limbs of raja yoga which were created and tested by the Sages of old to purify the body, breath, and mind!
Our 24 day residential programs offer a combination of these purifying practices, based on the ancient, systematic, and proven methods of the Himalayan Masters, coupled with modern training and teaching techniques, including biofeedback and video analysis, all in a comfortable, joyous, supportive environment of like minded seekers! The only pre-requisite for our Level I program is a sincere desire to become a skilled meditator. Women and men from all backgrounds, all countries, and all religions are welcome to participate in our training and become a part of our world-wide family of skilled practitioners and teachers! Graduates of our Level I program will become part of our global family of Superconscious Meditation Teachers and will be eligible to progress to our higher levels of training!

Level I Program - Mastering the Outer Self
Swami Rama Ashram,
Sadhana Mandir
Rishikesh, India
$2,500 USD Twin Sharing Accommodation

To begin this journey, we focus on the external factors of living that are essential to a spiritual seeker in the modern world: pure food, pure actions, body awareness, breath practices, controlling our senses, and stilling the mind. In each of our six modules of Level I training, participants will become skillful in the science of meditation, and skillful in the true artistry of guiding others to into a state of meditation. The Level I program culminates with Mantra Initiation into the 5,000 year old lineage of Himalayan Masters as well as transmission of the authority to teach Level I, Superconscious Meditation.

Then, with a firm foundation through the mastery of Level I practices, our Level II Program takes us to the subtle world of interior living! Our Level II programs bring us to the practices of the Subtle Body, the powerful layers of the Self known as energy (pranamaya kosha) and mind (manomaya kosha). We do not leave the outer body practices behind, they simply become subtle and beautiful beyond belief. Breath transforms into energy. External actions and even our senses turn to the realm of the mind. Awareness transforms into consciousness.

Finally, for those who have mastered themselves, we seek to move into the realm of the Superconscious which, as the name promises, is above what we have come to know as Consciousness. The Superconscious is beyond the realm of names and forms, beyond thought; this is the realm of the yogis and it is available to all who apply themselves with sincerity, discipline, and non-attachment.
