Guided meditation and reflections exploring different ways of conceiving and understanding the important and potentially liberating concept of ‘middle way’.
Jaya reflects on how when we playfully notice the ambiguity of our inner and outer worlds, it can enable us to feel our aliveness with richer textures. This is further explored in a guided meditation.
This meditation guides us to wake up our senses and full aliveness through a body scan, and then to rest in the formless presence that is aware of this changing dance of life.
Listening deeply is the gateway to realizing connection. It’s what allows us to move through life with a wise, loving and healing presence. These two talks explore our blocks to true listening, and offer teachings and practices that can directly cultivate this invaluable capacity.
Shelly will be using the book, Listening to the Heart: A Contemplative Journey to Engaged Buddhism by Thanissara and Kitisaro to guide these Wednesday night practice groups. The book can be ordered online if you would like to follow along with the written text.
