Layer 1, the Foundation of "Infinite Ocean Self-Inquiry," is about anchoring into the core essence of self-awareness. This foundational layer creates a grounding space where participants can explore their baseline perceptions, beliefs, and habitual thought patterns. By focusing on this initial, grounding layer, the course enables a deep settling into the present moment and encourages a non-judgmental awareness of inner landscapes. Here, participants develop the essential skills of presence, cultivating a stillness that serves as a powerful container for inquiry. This foundation becomes the platform upon which deeper layers of understanding and insight can be built, layer by layer.
