Beyond Physical/Meditation
"Meditation is preparation for action." -Grandmaster Safakhoo
The popular idea of mediation is one of passiveness however, at T.O.A.S. Nabard, one does not sit in comfort and daydream soothing images or seek to empty the mind completely of thought.
The goal of meditation in T.O.A.S. Nabard is PREPARATION FOR ACTION!
In TOAS Nabard, mediation is called BEYOND PHYSICAL which implies a more active endeavor.
BEYOND PHYSICAL training guides the individual through the process of achievement by teaching one to actualize and internalize goals.
To mediate in the way of T.O.A.S. Nabard is to go BEYOND PHYSICAL with the discipline of a “waking mind.”
"The waking mind of T.O.A.S. is not blind to the various facets of reality, nor does it accept what is given as truth without introspection and discernment."
-Oestad John Estares
