Meditation, Self-Inquiry & Satsang with David Scott Myers

I offer meditation and satsang rooted in Jnana Yoga (Jñāna Yoga), the Vedantic “path of wisdom.” This path is devoted to liberation (moksha) through self-realization — the direct recognition that the individual self (Atman) is not separate from ultimate reality (Brahman).

My teaching is grounded in the classical methodology of Vedanta, while remaining accessible, experiential, and deeply supportive for modern practitioners.

What I Offer

Satsang (Association with Truth)
Satsang is a guided space of inquiry, meditation, and dialogue. Rather than teaching belief systems, I facilitate direct exploration of truth through presence, contemplation, and shared investigation. It is an opportunity for students to question, reflect, and recognize their true nature in a supportive environment.

Self-Inquiry
At the heart of Jnana Yoga is the essential question:
“Who am I?”

Through gentle but precise inquiry, students are guided to observe thoughts, sensations, and identity constructs, and to discern the difference between the changing and the unchanging — between illusion (maya) and reality.

Discrimination (Viveka)
Students learn to distinguish the real from the unreal, the eternal from the temporary. This clarity dissolves ignorance (avidya) and reveals the ever-present awareness that is their true nature.

The Three Stages of Practice

Typical Length: 1.5 hours

My satsang follows a simple and intentional arc rooted in Jnana Yoga, the path of self-knowledge. Each gathering moves through three traditional stages of practice while remaining spacious, experiential, and accessible.

1. Listening – Opening to Stillness

We begin by centering ourselves in the present moment — this is the yoga of awareness, perception, and feeling.

The session opens with a brief guided meditation to settle the nervous system and quiet the mind. From there, I offer a teaching talk that explores how the mind, perceptions, and ego construct our sense of identity — and how these patterns obscure our direct experience of the True Self.

This stage is about hearing and receiving the truth clearly.

2. Reflection – Dialogue & Self-Inquiry

Students are invited into open dialogue. Questions are welcomed as a natural and essential part of the path.

Through guided self-inquiry, we examine assumptions, dissolve doubt, and refine understanding. Rather than analyzing personal stories psychologically, we look directly at the one who is experiencing them.

This stage deepens clarity through contemplation and shared investigation.

3. Deep Contemplation – Returning to Silence

The session closes in meditation and shared silence.

Here, understanding moves from concept to direct experience. The emphasis is not on gaining something new, but on recognizing what is already present — awareness itself.

Periods of silence are central, allowing insight to settle naturally and integrate.

The Intention

Satsang is not about adopting new beliefs, but about discovering what remains when we stop, listen, question, and rest in awareness.

This offering integrates naturally with asana, pranayama, and mindfulness practices. While physical yoga prepares the body and nervous system, Jnana Yoga and satsang guide students inward — toward clarity, stillness, and self-recognition.

The result is not simply stress relief, but a deeper alignment with truth, presence, and inner freedom.
