Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Aloha Christine, This year is the first year that Amma's super-profound meditation , the IAM technique will be taught during the retreats. It is not mandatory but I would recommend it highly- it is a tool that helps the inner connection with Amma grow tremendously fast and deep. This tends to make the retreat schedule even more hearty as the mediation course is interwoven witht he program back and forth-so I really suggest that you catch up on your sleep before and after the retreat so that you can take part in learning this divine meditation and still be in the hall and have allt he special time with Amma, the dinner She serves, the question and answer sessions, the classes by Swamiji in the morning, the evening satsangs and the darshans, darshans, darshans. I took the IAM in India during Amma's 50th birthday celebrations and have since celebrated hugely remarkable changes in my evolution towards Goddess. I did notice it seemed hard for some people to be able to take and /or really focus on the course during the retreat whether it was becuase the wnated to be int he hall during that time or becuase they needed a break- but i would recommend is taking it no matter what- it is gold (with a fragrance)- a direct darshan anytime you want to do it.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Namah Shivaya, I agree. I took the course during the retreat in Seattle/Tacoma. It is an "accelerated" course that does not include everything, but it has most of the technique and will get you started. I've only been doing it for a few weeks and have had monumental experiences with it. I hear Amma in my heart now more than ever, and I've had deep meditative experiences that I've never had before. It has definitely deepened my connection and I look forward to taking the entire course as soon as I am able. I HIGHLY recommend learning and practicing it. It is a blessing from Amma! One note: I noticed many wanted to add changes to the technique as soon as we learned it. I would submit that this is a package deal - something Amma has given us that contains Her blessing. We should try to practice it with surrender and faith, and not add our own "flair" to the technique. She is a Mahatma who knows what we need more than we do.
