The art of contemplation

Universal Appeal

The art of contemplation has universal appeal to all personality types. Whether you are visual, kinaesthetic or have a strong logical bent, you can adapt your favoured techniques to the subject of your contemplation. The main point is to use the moment to elevate your own thinking and feeling. If you are visual then you can use the wonderful power of your imagination to create an image of peace, love or beauty right inside your body and mind. If you are more physically oriented, you can use a physical practice such as running or yoga as a means to purify your thinking and bring focus and clarity to your inner state. As your practice becomes more advanced, you will realise that you can use anything as a subject for contemplation, so long as it inspires and uplifts your spirit.

A gentle path to wholeness and harmony

‘The purpose of science is to unlock life’s many mysteries and attempt to understand the way things work. But there are subjects that may always be impenetrable to science. You are such a mystery. While we may one day understand how a human being works, our true depth lies beyond the domain of objective understanding. To know what we really are, we will have to go beyond the mind itself. This is the purpose of the Art of Contemplation.’ – Richard Rudd
