Norwegian term or phrase: nærværstrening
På mine kurs og retreater har jeg introdusert uttrykket nærværstrening. Dette har noen fellestrekk med oppmerksomhetstrening, men i uttykket nærværstrening ligger også det kristne vanligvis vil forbinde med ordet: Guds nærvær.

self-enlightenment training
Explanation:
The self-enlightenment experience is initiated by the realization that you are capable of direct access to the Divine. This is the realization that the wisdom of the Divine can be discovered deep within you.

Reference is made to Christianity in the explanation, so 'God' does not have to be referred to in the actual term you are enquiring about.

For a more biblical term another option could be 'coaching in finding the Kingdom of God within you'. Although, this is rather long-winded :)

Divine presence training


Explanation:
I believe the English term you're looking for is the "Divine presence" (Hebrew: Shekhinah, Arabic: sakina, Norwegian: guddommelige nærvær). I don't mean to conflate religious traditions which are obviously quite different. But I believe the English term in each case would be the same, because people would inevitably supply their own religious context.

"Divine presence training" is admittedly a densely packed phrase. However, people would be perfectly able to unpack it as meaning "Training to develop your awareness of the presence of God".

Example sentence(s):
  • "Tittel: Between Heaven and Earth : Divine Presence and Absence in the Book of Ezekiel / by John F. Kutsko" .... "Emner: Guds nærvær | den skjulte Gud | Ezekiels Bog | kritik og fortolkning"
