THE WAY OF THE CYPHER

Rap Is Meditation.

Rap Is Meditation.

Mastering freestyling is mastering yourself.

Mastering freestyling is mastering yourself.

The idea behind the Way of the Cypher is simple: the mind that freestyles properly is the same mind that appears when spiritual practice bears fruit. We teach that mind to you.

THE MIND THAT FREESTYLES IS:

Spontaneous and effortless

Beyond cognitive thought

Able to access the entirety of your consciousness

Luminous and without judgement

THE ANSWERS LIE WITHIN THIS EXACT MOMENT

THE ANSWERS LIE WITHIN THIS EXACT MOMENT

In the Essence of Mind traditions, all spiritual practice is simply revealing the nature of this present moment, which is timeless, spacious, and perfectly at peace. Freestyling is a doorway into that nature.
