How Royal Way Integrates the Benefits of Meditation

Royal Way Spiritual Center is a sanctuary where seekers of higher consciousness retreat from a noisy world to develop inner silence and awareness of self. At the heart of that pursuit is the practice of the ancient art of meditation. 

The teaching of universal truths combined with meditation practices move the modern individual to realize that they are more, much more, than they imagine. Never has the pursuit of higher consciousness been more needed individually and collectively. 

At Royal Way, we not only practice meditation, we embrace it as a key to unlocking the vast potential within. You are not merely your body, you are not your job, an athlete, a CEO, a truck driver, a mother or father or brother or sister. You are not how much money you have or do not have. Imagine a life where you know, without a doubt, that you are an eternal being.

The Scientific Benefits of Meditation

Our founder, Dr. Michael Gottlieb, tells us, “The mind of most people, most of the time, is agitated, hyperactive, rarely calm, and experiences very little peace.”

• Modern scientific studies support the advantages of meditation, including stress reduction, enhanced mental clarity, and improved emotional well-being. 

• These benefits are tangible for those who integrate meditation into their daily lives. 

• A true dedication to the practice is required to realize its full potential.

Why Choose Royal Way for Meditation?

Royal Way offers the experience of ancient wisdom, spiritual guidance, and a quest for one’s highest potential. 

Meditation is not limited to a daily habit. Royal Way teaches that meditation is the key to the transcendence of our perceived finite existence. It’s a journey into the depths of one’s soul. In that tranquil state all is available. Creativity blossoms and the discovery of who you are, who you really are, appears. 

And how is that achieved? You simply and naturally start dropping what no longer serves you and take the journey of meditativeness into every endeavor and every activity. Clarity begins to replace a noisy and clouded mind.

The benefits of mindfulness meditation can be experienced in every aspect of daily life. Consciousness is a state of being that has infinite levels that can be developed and evolved. One can eat consciously; one can walk consciously. Can one listen consciously? Of course! 

Royal Way teachings emphasize the beauty of living each moment meditatively with awareness and intention.

Meditation at Royal Way Events

Dr. Gottlieb teaches, “The goal and purpose of meditation at the beginning level is to still the mind. You then discover the pure consciousness behind the mind. In that space, you experience a different reality. From that reality, you generate a more subtle vibration of energy. With this energy, you expand the parameters of your mind and of your outer world. This enables you to be more effective at every endeavor and in all your areas of interest.”

Dr. Gottlieb continues by saying, “More obvious, but nevertheless important, are the benefits of deep physical relaxation, mental rejuvenation, emotional stabilization, and spiritual fulfillment.”

Royal Way events are transformative. It is truly a personal experience. Simultaneously, there is power and significance in the collective as we support each participant’s meditation journey. As such, Royal Way offers a variety of meditative experiences designed to make real movement and personal growth possible for all who come open to something new.

Meditations Practiced at Royal Way

Royal Way has developed specific meditation practices to complement and enhance spiritual teachings. 

Meditations focus on various techniques including guided visualization, vipassana, walking meditations, mantra meditations, moving meditations, deep contemplative practices, and mindfulness. 

These meditations are designed to help participants develop new levels of consciousness, guiding them to the ultimate discovery of their inner home, to union with the divine within.

Moving Meditations

• With its slow and gentle movements, tai chi creates harmony between the mind and the body. An outdoor dedicated space—the Tai Chi Field—at Royal Way Spiritual Center is the perfect setting for this meditative practice. 

• A Walking Meditation brings awareness to the present moment by simply noticing whatever you pass by. Royal Way Spiritual Center has created a series of meditation trails that feature the expansive high desert and enhance this moving meditation.

• A Dancing Meditation brings joy and freedom and fun. This kind of self-expression is a key component for the seeker on a spiritual journey. The expansive front lawn at Royal Way Spiritual Center is often the setting for this transformative meditation.

Contemplative Meditations

• Focusing on the breath—in and out—is a meditative discipline to still the mind. Tranquil settings throughout the beautifully landscaped grounds of Royal Way Spiritual Center enhance this meditation and its benefits.
  

• Guided meditations can incorporate sounds of nature and spoken descriptive visualizations, bringing relaxation to explore the inner self.

In Conclusion

Dr. Gottlieb says of the mind and thoughts, “It’s such a relief to be able to be without that continuous, noisy interference.” He goes on to teach, “The next step of evolution for humankind is to rise above thought—whereas up till now, humans have been totally identified with thought. That is a state of unconsciousness—complete unconsciousness.” This evolution toward a higher state of awareness is at the heart of the Royal Way teachings.

Royal Way offers meditation practices that provide inner peace, the realization of self, and the potential to know the truth of existence. The benefits of meditation, when coupled with spiritual study, provide a clear path to transcendence.

We warmly invite you to join us at Royal Way Spiritual Center, to embark on this transformative journey and explore the profound depths of meditation and mindfulness.

We leave you with this sublime teaching about meditation by Dr. Gottlieb:

“Meditation is purest blissfulness. As you go deeper you come across more and more beautiful spaces, more and more luminous spots. They are your treasure, deeper and deeper silences, which are not only the absence of noise but the presence of a soundless song—musical, alive, and dancing.”
