~ Inner Silence
“Inner silence is something that we start to feel at some point along the way. In reality, it’s always there, it’s just that we’re usually too busy noticing other things, like thoughts or sense objects. But as the mind begins to calm down through spiritual practices, we begin to realize that even when things are present in the mind, such as thoughts, emotions, or sensations, they still exist inside and are surrounded by peacefulness and silence. In fact, the stillness and the silence of the mind are as vast as the ocean, and the mental objects and the objects of the senses simply come and go in this silence. Gradually stillness and silence come more to the foreground of our experience and objects of the senses and mental objects appear more in the background. Inner silence becomes our foundation and our natural way of operating in the world. In yoga, we speak of samadhi, and to experience it is a bliss that deepens into the experience of unconditional love.”

Update on 16th May 2023:
Thank you to everyone who donated towards our crowd fundraising campaign! We just raised £9000 (about US $11,200) to purchase filming and editing equipment.
We are currently working to make the AYP teachings more available around the world through live-streaming events, podcasts and through pre-recorded video courses. The money raised will also help towards the cost of publicity.
At the moment we are filming online video courses in English, German and Portuguese.
