Tony Samara
Founder of the Conscious Meditation Foundation
and the Samara School of Meditation

Tony Samara, author of ‘Shaman’s Wisdom,’ ‘The Simplicity of Love Meditation,’ ‘Different Yet the Same,’ ‘Karma, Mantra and Beyond’ and ‘Discover Your Inner Buddha’ was born in England, grew up in Egypt, England, and also in Norway where he discovered the “Zen Buddhist philosophy”.

This discovery eventually led him to the Mount Baldy Zen Center in California, USA, where he learned the spiritual teachings of Kyozan Joshu Sasaki. He had curiosity to explore further the essence of spirituality and thus went to live and learn with shamanic communities around the globe. By going on pilgrimage to various sacred sites in India, Tony was able to dwell deeply upon the ancient Vedic and Jain philosophies and work profoundly with the essence of these teachings. He says:

“My first spiritual teacher, at the age of 12, was the question “Who Am I?” Over a few years, as I immersed myself deeper into the question, in many different countries and through various spiritual traditions, in a universalist open-minded way, gradual and powerful experiences opened me up more and more until at the age of 27 I experienced a dramatic moment of enlightenment.

Today, inspired deeply by the words of Shrimad Rajchandra and Mahavira and the poetry of Satguru Kabir, I share with you the totally natural state of joy and wisdom experienced as the heart opens to the truth.”

“As real self I never knew,
So suffered I eternal pain,
I bow to Him my master true,
Who preached and broke eternal chain.”
~ Shrimad Rajchandra, Atmasiddhi – 1.1

“There within Him creation goes forward,
which is beyond all philosophy;
for philosophy cannot attain to Him:
There is an endless world, O my Brother!
and there is the Nameless Being,
of whom nought can be said.”
– Satguru Kabir

Now people from all over the world visit Tony Samara to take spiritual guidance and experience being in his presence.

Tony Samara believes that “the vast majority of people go through life without directly experiencing the depths of their true self, or understanding their connection to life, or their relationship to others and to the world at large. We are often taught to only relate to the world through our senses. We think, we reason, we feel – but we do not know from our hearts what it means to be connected to what is beyond the senses.”

He recognizes that direct experiences have the potential to radically transform an individual and his or her life, as well as promote a profound and effortless letting go of past emotional, mental and physical pain and suffering.

His main countries of activity are in Europe, yet with the assistance of the Internet he is attracting a Global audience through frequent online interviews and live satsangs. His function is as a Spiritual Master who encourages all to lead their lives actively in a noble way in order to realize the evolution of human consciousness.

Verbal dialogue is not the essence of his teachings, but he explains in a direct and simple way that everyone can understand how each individual can practically integrate greater acceptance, peace and joy into their daily lives.

Tony Samara teaches with humour, humility and with infinite patience, empowering the individual with courage, trust and inner strength to continue on this journey back into wholeness, a path that leads towards real freedom.

Testimonials

“It is not always easy to immediately understand what Tony is transmitting behind the words that he is speaking. Personally, I know that if I am caught up in a personal issue or just thinking too much, listening to Satsangs with Tony always ‘resets’ my mind and helps me refocus on what is important. Often I have had the experience weeks or months after a Satsang of an ‘a-ha’ moment where the understanding of what Tony is speaking about just clicks with me. It’s not that Tony ever tells me what to do, more that he highlights and builds on what is real within me so that I am empowered to discern what is real and to take action based on that. I really enjoy how Tony can draw on different religions and spiritual traditions to illustrate in descriptive and poetic ways the message that he is sending to us who are privileged to listen to him. Tony’s way of teaching is inspiring and beautiful of course but also very tangible, down to earth and easy to put into practice in practical ways in everyday life.”
– Gerald (Ireland)

“I have a quote on my desk at work so that everyone can see it. It means a lot to me and I read it every day.”
– A.A. (USA)

“Great meditation. Found it in my Insight Meditation app as a featured meditation. I tried in on my way to work on the metro. I could see all kinds of fun indigo and violet colors behind my eyes, which doesn’t happen frequently, but I love when it does. Awesome. Thanks.”
– Steph M. (USA)

“The last Satsang was beautiful as usual. Homeopathic doses of wisdom ? Very subtle and highly effective.”
– I.S. (Switzerland)

“I really enjoyed Tony’s satsang today. I see he has a curious knack of addressing the points that meet me exactly where I am at for that day or time. Now that is impressive! I assume he is tuning in to people as we connect via the computer. Please thank him – I am so much where I need to be to do the things I want and need to do today, coming from a place of happiness as opposed to anxiety and stress which often grips me on Monday mornings.”
– W.B. (Australia)

“This morning I received the Full Moon Satsang of wisdom from Tony Samara. WOAH! SO AMAZING AND YET SO SIMPLE…! It talks about the process of CHANGE within the body when the unconscious begins speaking to us (which of course happens more intensely around Full Moon) and how the mind tries to shut our divine inner intelligence, which holds such wisdom and grace, down by making us feel it is ‘too difficult or challenging’. Tony’s messages are ALWAYS deeply profound and hold MANY life truths and tools to support conscious living. The satsang was also very reasonably priced at $10 US.”
– KK (Australia)

“I came home to a depth that made me so very satisfied and energetic. All the wonderful practice, meditational, mental and emotional, followed by the energy transmission… all seems like a dream, and in a way it is. It was amazing to be able to have the time and focus on these Satsangs. I especially liked the days after these unique experiences, it felt like being alive to a new dimension to life. That’s how life has to be. I hope this energy and healing will increase and multiply and make the world a better place to live in.”

“Any one person out there who feels lost or in need, please take a few moments to listen and or watch Tony Samara, you will soon come to realise it’s one of the best decisions you ever made.”
– Denise B. (UK)

“Tony Samara embodies love and is without ego.
His energy transgresses his body and can be felt, resonating very strongly, all over.
If you are in his presence, you immediately feel a tingling and warm feeling in the tummy.
If you are unrested and tired, you may fall into a deep and tranquil sleep and awake very much refreshed.
If you are working on a specific issue, you may have wonderful dreams that help clarify where you are and the time spent with Tony on Dreams is both magical and very revealing.
When I first met Tony, in 2001, just being in the same room as he was and not knowing why, I would tremble and sometimes become overwhelmed with emotion, as if a part of me recognized a part of him that had travelled a very long way. After 10 years, I still tremble!
Tony’s work with me has had a monumental effect on my life and I can never be the same as I was before formally meeting him.
His mission – the evolution of human consciousness – is far from esoteric jargon and big words.
It is very pragmatic and practical, as the awareness gained, allows the “magic” to come into focus and what was a vague idea of what life may be, somehow becomes clearer making one thing absolutely certain – we are co-creators, responsible.
The consciousness gained by listening to Tony, not only through his words, but mostly through the energy at work through him and towards us, comes with responsibility and being response-able (able to respond) and this brings great joy and a true sense of freedom. One comes in tune with a power that has no arrogance and wishes only to flow with what is.
Meditating near Tony is a true outer body experience. Although the work continues when we come home, nothing is quite as it was when he is near.
I have been graced with the gift of having Tony as my Teacher and am honoured and forever grateful. My wish is that everyone be gifted with the same.”
– Soraya M. (Portugal)

“I would recommend this teacher for their grace, content and masterful delivery.”
– Ms. Y.R. B. (USA)

“Tony Samara empowers us to transcend any challenge in life through cleansing and meditation* Then deep healing evolves when a divine love transcends our limited ego into an expansion beyond ourselves, it’s an amazing journey with enlightened masters, I believe to be the greatest blessing on earth that helps the bigger picture of all life on earth.
Becoming free (on going daily practise..) was only something I understood was possible when I started the journey 7 years ago with friends on a 40 day fast with Tony. I would start now and you’ll never look back ; )”
– Hayla G. O. (UK)

“Your satsangs are so amazing. Expansive, loving… Thank you feels so small… Thank you so much.
The last one on Sunday was… Wow. Transcendental.”

“Today’s session was one of those with very powerful energy, but how powerful it really was, we will see over time.

“I highly recommend Tony Samara and his courses! I was really really happy Tony decided to do this second course. I can sense his teachings and the beautiful, calming, vitalizing, healing energy transmission settling deeper and deeper into me slowly but surely with the passage of time, I feel my heart opening more and more, without me trying to figure out how to make it happen.

Lots of family and health and world and other issues, instead of arousing so much fear and anger and judgment, are now, as Tony says, gifts and opportunities to me seeing how the meditation and the mantra work. I find myself much more aware than before, I find myself observing my own negative thoughts and feelings more quickly, I find myself not being as caught up in the drama as I used to be. I can sense more calm and peacefulness inside me even as I, like so many of us, am going through a lot of personal and health changes and the world we live in is changing amazingly fast it is dizzying! Thank you so very much Tony for the profoundly spiritual and practical teachings and energy tranmission you share with us all. Your gift is needed in this day and age we are experiencing.”
– Vivian B. (USA)

“if i had any doubts remaining after the first time i heard this teacher, it is now clear that this teaching is very different. it’s not so much about the wisdom he shares, though he seems to know a lot, but his meditation guidance is absolutely unique. i was able to meditate even when i felt that would otherwise be impossible with the way i was feeling. cant recommend Tony Samara enough.”
– Pedro L. P. (Portugal)

“this teacher inspired me beyond the wisdom he was sharing. i never felt the course was biased or ever condemning of perspectives differing from the one presented. this alone made me realise in practice that it is possible to go about my spiritual path without having to resort to anything but the focus on what really is important for me. more than the words that ultimately i guess we can all learn and repeat, the rhythms and flow of his speech alone conveyed deep peace without even using the word. i want to listen to more.”
– Pedro L. P. (Portugal)

– Satprem C. (Sweden)

His teachings are more than the words, they are truly transmitted energetically, I can attest to that personally.

– Suzette v. H. (The Netherlands)

“As seeker of healing and joy, I posit that Tony Samara’s meditations/energy transmissions have brought me more healing and joy than years of other kinds of treatments – allopathic or not.
