Can you imagine being told you have a wonderful opportunity to travel to a place where you are guaranteed to experience absolute happiness, and then you are put into the driver’s seat of a running automobile without knowing how to drive, use the brakes, the steering wheel, or the clutch? Naturally, we would get into an accident, and probably become permanently afraid of driving.

We are in a similar situation with our minds. Mystics throughout the ages have described the blissful soul experiences of the awakened mind, but we can spend our entire lives without having this experience.

In this course, Anna Less and Devi Tide will be sharing teachings drawn from the essential philosophy of Chinese medicine, the tradition of Yoga, and the attunement and meditative practices of the Sufis--methods used by mystics to awaken consciousness to an experience of the soul. These traditions are brought together in a manner that will quicken the mind to the experience of the depth of the heart and the essence of the soul.
