Q: How
can I get general Introductory information?
A: Or you could call and chat whenever you like at 1-888 ISHAYAS or
email
us.
Q: How
can I find out where courses are scheduled?
A: Click
here for the Courses Schedule. Feel totally free
to call the listed sponsor of the course about where to stay and
etc. Sponsors are very friendly people. (That's how we do all our
courses. People volunteer to be sponsors and have people come to their
home or office -- it's a very grass-roots thing.)
Q: How
are Ascension courses set up?
A: We generally travel
to various cities when we're invited to come give a course. Info on
Teacher is here. First, a sponsor volunteers their living
room or office for a course and then people just seem to gather together
and we have the First Sphere course.
Q: What
is a First Sphere courses? And what happens there?
A: It’s where people
learn the Ishayas’ Ascension® techniques. It's Friday night, 7-9.
Saturday 10-5. Sunday 10-5. Two teachers come to every First Sphere
course. Cost is $300
per person for the weekend. Cost isn't dependent upon how many come.
You learn to ascend with the first
technique given on Friday evening. The First Sphere® weekend
gives you everything you need.
And at any time after your first weekend,
you can repeat (or "audit") the class as many times as you like,
anywhere in the world, at no cost. (Many people repeat the course lots of
times, and always get something new out of it.)
Q: How
many techniques are presented in a weekend?
A: There are four
techniques: praise, gratitude, love and cognition. You receive the first
four techniques in the First Sphere (hence, the name of the
weekend.) Much more about that is
here.
Q: What's
daily practice entail?
A: We recommend 20
minutes of practice with the techniques, 2 or 3 times a day: when arising,
late afternoon and before bed. Maximum benefit comes from steady use of
the techniques.
Q: Does
it require years of practice?
A: No. In fact,
Ascension is effective immediately. We focus on
"effortlessness." It is simply not true that what is your
birthright, after all, needs to be difficult.
Q: Does
everyone "get" it?
A: We find that
"getting it" is not the problem. The main difficulty we
encounter is a person's mistaken belief that it's not working when
everyone around them is saying what remarkable changes have occurred.
Letting go of stress is all that's required. And it can be easy.
Q: Do I
need to read the books first?
A: It's good to read the
books first, but definitely NOT a prerequisite.
Q: What
are the qualifications of the teachers?
A: Every teacher takes a
six-month Training of focused Ascending. Ascending at least 16 hours
daily is required. At the end of the Training, a person has let go of
enough
stress in the nervous system to attain Perpetual
Consciousness.
Q: How much
notice is required to take a First Sphere® course?
A: Friday evening,
showing up at the door, is fine. Although usually you'd want to
communicate with the sponsor of the course to let them know you're
coming. But it's OK to do that the day of the course!
Q: If
I cannot find a course on the schedule near me, how can I learn to
ascend?
A: Why not sponsor a
course yourself? It really is easy. On many occasions, we have people who
sponsor their first First Sphere® course. That’s wonderful! So if you feel like you might want to
sponsor a course, and invite your friends, two teachers would be happy to
come.
Basically, it works like this: we are
invited to people's homes, where we stay during the weekend. Most people
who host the teachers prefer the teachers to stay at their house because
they want to spend time talking, etc. Sometimes, we sleep on
living room floors and sometimes in luxury bedrooms. We never know what to
expect, but that's what make life fun!
One of the things we live by is
"just accepting what the Universe has to offer, in each moment."
We’re mostly vegetarian, but we accept whatever. Teachers
expectations? Zero. We accept what the Universe provides and
are happy with that. Isn't that a great way to live??
To get started with your desire to
sponsor a course, please call 1-888-ISHAYAS
or email
ishaya@ishaya.com
Q: How
can I find out more about sponsoring?
A: You
can find lots more about sponsoring by clicking here.
Q: Are
there advanced courses and Attitudes beyond the First Sphere?
A: There are more
techniques and advanced courses that help to accelerate the process. But you learn
the mechanics of how to
ascend at the First Sphere® course. You can receive additional attitudes
from qualified teachers by reviewing or auditing a First Sphere® or
attending any advanced program.
And during the First Sphere® weekend, we
discuss what more is available to you: Advanced
Weekends, Advanced Techniques, Residence Courses, Intensives,
and a lot more...
