Meditation Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh
Meditation training courses train you to withdraw attention from the outer world and explores your inner spac
Beyond Thoughts
Awaken Your Inner Silence
Meditation is pure consciousness beyond the mind. Or, it’s an inner state where thoughts disappear and only “awareness” remains. In that silence, you are no longer confined to your individual identity but become one with existence. Our Meditation Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh introduces a variety of techniques to still the mind, dissolve the burden of thoughts, memories and dreams, and awaken the peace that has always been within you.
Birth begins with sound and life dissolves into silence. Between the two, life unfolds through both. At Satbodh Foundation, the 12-Day Bodh Meditation gently leads you from sound to silence. The journey begins with a support such as the soothing sound of a flowing river, a waterfall, or other meditative supports. As you become absorbed in the rhythm, the stream of thoughts gradually fades, and the mind naturally enters a state of stillness.
INNER SOLUTION
Every Challenge has Meditative Solution
01
Endless Thoughts → Inner Stillness
Hyperactive mind creates confusion and restlessness. Breath-supporting meditation brings mind in present moment and helps in restoring tranquillity
02
Anxiety → Relaxed Mind
Anxiety and stress makes life miserable. Inward journey relaxes the stressed neurons and rejuvenates the tired nervous system
03
Fear of Future → Present Awareness
Consciousness chasing the future makes you future-anxious. Sound and silence meditation brings your awareness to the present moment with no space left for future.
04
Hidden emotions → Emotional Balance
Suppressed emotions lead to emotional weakness. Mantra meditation helps release hidden emotions, making you feel lighter, calmer & free from stress
05
Weak Focus → Sharp Memory
Wandering mind struggle hard to focus on anything. Gazing meditation (tratak) is excellent for students to improve focus and also refines understanding capacity
06
Pessimism → Brighter Side
Overpowering negative thoughts limits your ability to see life’s possibilities. Practice of Sivoham kriya gradually quietens negativity and helping you develop optimism
07
Heaviness → Inner Relaxation
The pressure to excel at work and limited personal time creates heaviness at physical and mental level. Meditation relieves stress and relaxes the mind naturally
08
Insecurity → Self-Trust
Uncertainty about the future and job insecurity disturb the peace of mind. Meditation helps you face challenges with clarity and confidence.
PUREST STATE OF BEING
What is Meditation?
Meditation is your most natural state of being without labelling, without name just like a tree that simply stands, a river that flows, or the sky that just is, untouched by past or future. Even in deep sleep, you are there but without outer awareness, without thoughts in the mind, without content in intelligence, yet “still” present. When this silent presence is touched by awareness even in deep sleep, that is meditation.
When illness or deep mental stress arises, doctors often prescribe rest and deep sleep nature’s way of healing. Meditation reflects this same subtle science. In a state that is like sleep, yet alive with awareness, everything gently reorganizes itself, and mind, body and being return to natural balance and harmony. In deep meditation, what remains is simple and vast no separation, only oneness where you are existence, and existence is you.
GATEWAY TO MEDITATION
Why Rishikesh Best for Meditation Seekers?
Every place carries its own unique spirit. A garden naturally awakens love, ancient Athens inspires inquiry and philosophy and the ruins of great civilizations evoke memories of the past. Likewise, in Rishikesh, the sacred flow of the Ganga gently draws the wandering mind into the present moment, where silence and meditation arise effortlessly.
A sacred place can inspire your journey, but true transformation depends on your inner commitment. At Satbodh Foundation, six core principles commitment, surrender, devotion, awareness, silence, and bliss matter far more than the place where you meditate. When these qualities blossom within, every place becomes sacred.

INNOVATIVE APPROACH
Meditation Methodology
There is no single approach to meditation because every individual has a unique mind and mental conditioning. The purpose of all traditional meditation techniques is to quiet the mind and prepare it for inner stillness; the essential base for meditation. At Satbodh Yoga School, our Teacher Training Course follows the traditional yogic progression of cultivating attention before entering the higher yoga practices of Dharana (concentration) and Dhyana (meditation).
For Bodh Meditation, our methodology begins with intrinsically designed object-based meditation techniques that stabilise awareness and develop inner clarity. As the practitioner matures, the practice naturally progresses towards support-less (objectless) meditation, where awareness rests in its own nature without dependence on any object.
Recognising that every seeker’s mind is different, we also offer specialised practices such as Sivoham Kriya and the Shodhan Kriya for corporate. These methodologies are designed to suit different psychological dispositions and prepare practitioners for deeper states of inward journey and ‘Self’-awareness.
- Two worlds exist within you; one of the mind and one of pure awareness.
- Meditation turns seeker to the inner world of awakening.
- When thoughts dissolve, you remain untouched by desire, fear or ego.
- The mind binds you to the world; silence returns you to yourself.
- Transcending the mind reveals the 'Self' — egoless, limitless and eternally free.
