Description: What is the essence of prayer? The meditation techniques that many of us learn to practise in the Eastern traditions is the essence of what is referred to as 'prayer' in the West. Rupert describes the highest form of meditation as a softening of attention rather than the focusing of attention towards something. He explains that the ultimate prayer is not a devotion towards an exterior or separate God, but is a return back to our true self which is the essential self of God. –– ACCESS FULL VIDEO ARCHIVE You can watch or listen to 1000s of hours of teachings, guided meditations and answers in Rupert's full video archive here: ▸ rupertspira.com/subscriptions –– RETREATS (Weekend, 5-day, 7-day) Rupert holds regular retreats, roughly once per month, either in-person and online.
