Managing emotions. Acceptance, Devotion, and Surrender, How the mind works. Identity and the Self. Non-judgemental thoughts. - Responsibility for what we think. Mental distortions and beliefs that make us suffer. Learning to discard thoughts and regarding thoughts as thoughts, not as reality. Study and learn to listen, reflect and understand the satsangs of a spiritual teacher.
What is real love? Can love really be cultivated? No, never—love is a happening. Love is like the fragrance of a flower. The flower does not transmit fragrance consciously. It is the nature of a flower to give fragrance, and that fragrance is love. It is the nature of fire to give off heat, and heat, spontaneously given by fire, is love. We do not cultivate love—we cultivate qualities within us that are conducive to making love come. In other words, everything is a preparation for love to come.
Meditation Techniques bring us closer to the knowledge of our true nature through observation and direct experience. We will review, deepen and enhance the meditation techniques learned in module PoU 1 and learn new techniques and tools to apply in different circumstances of our lives. During the waking state of life meditation makes us face the mirror squarely and see our faults. It not only makes us see our faults, but meditation also gives us the strength to overcome those faults.

Benefits
This module introduces the spiritual dimension of the Path of Unfoldment. It takes you beyond meditation and mindfulness as a technique to alleviate stress and provide calmness to your mind to a path of self-discovery and unity with Self.
The purpose of this module is to bring about a harmony between mind, body, and spirit. The harmony already exists; all it requires is conscious recognition and experience. What do we mean by experiencing harmony? The answer is simple: to feel peace with yourself, so much so that all problems can come and yet you remain peaceful. It is like Kipling’s poem, “If”—everything can go all mad and haywire around you and yet you preserve your peace and tranquillity.
The path of Yoga is not as simple as it seems. The path of Yoga, Vivekananda said, is the path of heroes, the path of the warrior. There has to be determination. In this module you will acquire the determination required to overcome the feeling of being separated, the experiencing of yourself as a separate entity.
