Empowered You Meditation Intensive FAQ

When is the Intensive happening?

The live Intensive happens Saturday, June 1 from 10am-2:30pm Pacific Time with short breaks and one longer break (about 30min)  **or you can participate in this intensive with the recordings at your own ideal chosen timing.

How does the Empowered You Meditation Intensive work?

We begin in a seated upright posture with an opening meditation and guided intention setting.

In one or more parts of the sessions you will be invited to lay flat. So you may wish to have an area prepared in advance for this option should it arise.

The key to all of the practices we'll be doing is in being present with the body. Scott will help you with this throughout each session.

Each session will work with breath. Breath is essential. It's one of the simplest and most elegant ways to release tension and connect with expanded Awareness.

We will work with different breathing techniques from session to session. You will be given options for a gentler or stronger approach to the breath based on what your body and nervous system are ready for that day.

What practices will we be doing and do I need previous experience with any of them?

All levels of experience are fully welcomed! Instructions and guidance will be given for each practice along the way and there will be opportunities for asking questions.

The formal Intensive begins with an arrival meditation and a focused intention-setting practice, we then flow forward through the layers of the intensive to progressively longer practices with meditation, empowered mantra repetition, guided contemplation, and breathing practices.

These practices will be interspersed with teachings and tools for deepening your experience of the transformative power of the practices as well as bringing the benefits of your learning into your daily moments with greater skillfulness, ease, and grace.

How can I prepare for the Intensive?

Watch and practice with the pre-recorded preparation videos. You will have immediate access to these videos the moment you register for the intensive.

Preparing your physical space for the Intensive ~

Create a nourishing environment for yourself to remain undisturbed. 

The majority of the Intensive practice will be done upright and seated. There will be one or more practices which can be done laying down, so are encouraged to have an area prepared with something to lay on (like a yoga mat or blanket) as well as an additional blanket in case you want to feel warmer.

And consider planning a bit of time after the session for journaling any insights which arise as well as spending a bit of time in nature integrating if you are able.

(**more comprehensive preparation suggestions are offered in the intensive preparation videos available once you register)

What are participants saying about their experience of the Empowered You Meditation Intensive?

"Nothing has expanded my meditation practice as much as the intensive; in a few hours I gained more than 10 day meditation retreats and years of daily practice. It broke through so many of the ways I was holding myself back, resulting in a sustained, deeper meditation practice and all the benefits that come with that. I keep coming back to the recordings because I enjoy them so much, and I gain new insights every time I do! " -SB

"I have attended Scott’s Satsangs, workshops and courses, which have been impactful in my spiritual practice, and yet, I am in awe of how in the Meditation Intensive I explored a deeper sense of self-awareness, found the inspiration to embrace the wisdom that emerged, and openly received Scott’s guidance for the integration of the new insights.  The one-day intensive was profoundly transformative!" -OR

"Through the progressive sits, I reach a new level of deep body relaxation, a nectar of spaciousness that allows energy to flow, leading to a marvelous sense of merging with the mantra. Plus, an unexpected physical strength that seemed to emerge from this merging is still enduring." -VG

"The Meditation Intensive is a boost of energy to my daily practice and life. My participation has brought deeper insight into mantra practices as a doorway to enter deep meditation. The experience of deep silence during and after the Intensive, and the desire to practice more to embody and integrate these new practices, supports me on my journey forward." -SJ

"Ever since I began the Intensives, my day-to-day awareness has undergone a significant transformation. Before, meditation felt like a routine task, feeling easily disrupted by tension in the mind or outside circumstances. However, now with time invested in the intensives, I have a deeper, more focused, meditation practice and feel the vast possibilities of greater awareness that it offers." -GD
