2017-12-29 Morning Puja (with 30 min meditation) 54:17
Ajahn Sucitto
The beauty of chanting is you feel it in your heart and body, giving words another dimension. It’s not just the abstract chattering of an isolated head that doesn’t feel what it’s talking about.

2017-12-28 Remembering and Choosing Loving Presence (retreat talk) 63:09
Tara Brach
We are conditioned to go into a limbic trance—an emotional reactivity to life within and around us—that keeps us identified with a limited, separate sense of self. This talk helps us to identify the flags of trance, and to bring a healing attention that frees us to live our moments with creativity, wisdom and love. Includes the RAIN of Self-Compassion.

2017-12-28 Dukkha and Soulmaking (Part 1) 1:44:34
Rob Burbea
PLEASE NOTE: 'The Mirrored Gates' is a set of talks (recorded by Rob from his home) attempting to clarify, elaborate on, and open up further the concepts, practices, and possibilities explained in previous talks on imaginal practice. Some working familiarity with those previous teachings will provide a helpful foundation for this new set; but a good understanding of and experiential facility with practices of emptiness, samatha, the emotional/energy body, metta, and mindfulness is necessary and presumed, without which these new teachings may be confusing and difficult to comprehend.

2017-12-28 Evening Talk Bhavana 33:15
Ajahn Sucitto
Bhāvanā is a cultivation of heart and mind, right motivation and right view. It’s understanding the process of dhammas, not getting involved in content, knowing what’s taking me into my habits. This brings a sense of strength, groundedness and self-respect.

2017-12-28 Meditation: Loving Kindness for Ourselves 39:00
Kaira Jewel Lingo
In this meditation, we begin by visualizing benefactors offering us kindness, care and acceptance. We practice to truly let this in, and fill our bodies and minds. Then we begin to generate it for ourselves. (Gratitude to John Makransky for inspiration from his "Receiving the Healing, Liberating Power of Love" meditation.)
