What is our practice?

Subud is an association of people who all practise a spiritual exercise called the latihan. Subud is open to all, regardless of religion, beliefs. It originated in Indonesia in the 1920’s and is currently in over 75 countries in the world.

The process of the latihan starts with an awakening of a vibration. Followed by a feeling of acceptance and surrender to a power beyond ourselves. This is deepened by a quietening or stilling of the thoughts and emotions. Out of that quietness comes a connection to a power, which can transform and develop the growth of your inner life. Because this spiritual practice does not come from our own thoughts, wishes, or from any other guide or person, we believe it to be from a universal spiritual source.

This latihan experience is very individual and each time you practice it is different. We practice regularly in groups but it can be practiced alone. Our aim when practicing it, is to be open and alive to the moment, receiving what the source reveals to us.
