Articles by IAM Teachers

by Susanna Bair

Retreats	A retreatant becomes a retreat guide, who then establishes a Retreat Guide training program.
Greatness	Recognizing greatness has been our practice... The One Being finds Its fullest manifestation in the human being. In other words, the macrocosm is being expressed in the microcosm.
Mysticism	What is a mystic, and how would mysticism express itself in a professional person, such as an artist, a banker, an educator or a therapist?
Two Wolves	The old Cherokee story about two wolves, one evil and one good, retold from the Beloved's point-of-view.
Assimilation	"To assimilate is the most difficult thing there is." What is the sign we've assimilated the lessons of the past year?
Gratitude for the Journey	My parents and us four girls moved with a wagon, two horses and six duvets, from Hungry to Austria. I was four years old; it was the time of the Hungarian Revolution.
Non-Violence	What can we do as individuals to follow our hearts yearning to reduce violence and destruction?
Valentine's Day	What can we do as individuals to follow our hearts yearning to reduce violence and destruction?
What Gives Me Hope	A series of unexpected events on our recent trip East has raised the theme of survival in difficult times. From the English Parliment to the Kalahari Bushmen, people are trying to find solutions to the enormous problems that face our world.

by Puran Bair

The Walk	A demonstration of your unconscious and a way to dialogue between the inner and outer world.
Consciousness and Energy	Both are necessary; they interact; one develops the other.
Is a belief system necessary?	Yes. But you'll be surprised by what belief is required.
Five Religion Harmony	Puran and Susanna speaking at the Dalai Lama's visit to Tucson and leading a combination of five chants
This is a season of miracles.	What are the miracles today? They are ordinary occurences in everyday living from the heart.
New Discovery of the Relation Between Conscious Breath and Heartrate	The graph below is the result of our test. It clearly shows that the heart rate declines on the inhalation and rises on the exhalation. The remarkable thing is that with all the research that has been done on meditation in the last 30 years, this has never been documented before.
Community	People who haven't ever lived in community have no idea how effective it can be as an environment for personal development and social awareness.
The Shadow	The "shadow" is a term used by some spiritual teachers to denote an undesirable part of the self that is usually unconscious. We were asked recently to comment on this concept from the heart's point-of-view. To do so, I'll add my commentary to a talk by Ken Wilber.
Gratitude for One's Teachers	What does a teacher do, a critical question for IAM, a school of meditation that trains teachers.
Tenets of the Heart	Following the 'Path of the Heart' requires an understanding of what the heart is. This article is the beginning of Puran's description of the heart and how it operates.

by Asatar Bair

The Influence of a Sage	There is a sage in our linage that was known for his ability to help people with their economic problems. What would the influence of a modern sage look like?
New Economics	I am working on an exciting new frontier of meditation, applying the method of Heart Rhythm Meditation to understanding -- and influencing -- the economy. Our goal is to understand the economy as a whole, in its entirety, embracing all aspects of the economy, leaving out nothing.
