Part 2: Refuge in the Wilderness – Coming Home to Embodied Presence
53:21
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
When we live from our mental control towers, we are in a trance that confines our life. These two talks look at the primary ways we are conditioned to leave embodied presence, and the consequence of unlived life—being cut off from our vitality, intelligence and compassion. We then explore the teachings and practices that guide us to reconnect to our senses, and the sacred presence that underlies all lived experience.

Meditation: Homecoming to Our Life Breath
15:49
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Perhaps the most universal place to collect and deepen attention is the breath. This meditation begins with an intentional breath that calms the nervous system, and then opens to a clear, intimate presence with our natural breathing. With breath as our home base, we practice returning again and again when the mind becomes distracted. As presence grows, we can let the breath be in the foreground, and include whatever waves of life come and go. This brings a quiet mind, and a peaceful, happy heart.

Der mittlere Weg
39:54
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Der mittlere Weg enthält mehrere Metaphern, die für uns in der Praxis wichtige Hinweise enthalten. Zum einen ist da das Bild eines "Weges", zum anderen der Begriff "mittlerer". Der Bedeutung dieser Metaphern wird nachgegangen über die gebräuchliche Aussage hinaus, frei von Genusssucht und Selbstkasteiung zu sein. Ein tieferes Verständnis kann hilfreich sein, die vielen scheinbaren Gegensätze in der Lehre Buddhas zu vereinen.

The Way of Balance
35:18
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
We discover a sense of purpose in considering the notion of path. But the path does not lead to a place, it is the end of places.

Meditation: Befriending Your Inner Life
17:27
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
This meditation establishes a gentle and caring presence through bringing the image and felt sense of a smile to various domains in the body. We then settle with the breath, and practice relaxing with whatever arises, letting life be just as it is. The underlying intention is to regard all experience with a clear, interested and friendly attention. The gift is a homecoming to our naturally loving presence.

Making the Whole World Your Friend
45:46
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
A wonderful translation of the Pali word Metta is friendliness. This talk looks at friendliness through an evolutionary lens, and explores ways we can cultivate a more open heart.
