March 10, 2009James Traverse: Background in Yoga and Nonduality
March 4, 2009James Traverse speaks about his background in Yoga and nondual teachings.
James writes, “This non-ordinary way of being is available to ordinary people everywhere.”
James says in this interview with Jerry Katz,
“Iyengar Yoga had something lacking for me because it made so much sense intellectually and it was so physically presented…, I couldn’t get past the feeling that something was missing, … so I had a certain discontentment…, and that’s what led me to Jean Klein…, the person that lead me to nonduality.”
“[Jean Klein's] way was largely of silence. … His very presence was an invitation to release all that which one has accumulated through book knowledge and intellectual understanding, and to simply come to a place where one is empty of oneself.”
The Experience of Nonduality
February 27, 2009I interviewed James Traverse a couple days ago and this is one of the videos. There will be a few more.
In this interview, following my introduction, James takes me through an experiential exercise in nonduality. Try to go through it with me. In the beginning, I intentionally paused before responding.
The exercise points to what the experience of nonduality actually is. This and other exercises are available through James’s book and CD, Nidra Yoga. To learn more about James’s work, visit BeingYoga.com
