Meditation: A Listening Presence (20 min.)
19:59
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
The receptivity of listening awakens us to the living stream of life. This meditation guides us in listening to sounds, and then listening to and feeling the aliveness of our bodies and the movement of the breath. We close with a simple offering of lovingkindness to our inner life and our world.
“Resting with the breath as a raft might rest and move with the waves…” ~ Tara

Embodied Presence (Part 2) – Planting Our Roots in the Universe – Working with Pain
52:12
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
In describing our human predicament and dis-ease, D.H. Lawrence says we are like a great tree with our roots in the air. We need to replant ourselves—in our bodies, hearts and spirit – to live from embodied presence. These two talks are guides to replanting ourselves. In Part 1, we explore how we are so often dissociated from the life of our body, and the pathways home. Part 2 looks at the challenges of pain, fear and trauma, and how we can gradually and skillfully reconnect with a wholeness of being.

The Crux of Delusion

Ayya Santussika

At 55 minutes, a participant offered some comments but asked that their audio be removed. Ayya's answer remains.
Here is a summary of what the participant said:
They reflected on Ajahn Anan's teaching of developing the Paramis over lifetimes to be ready to fully receive / understand the Dhamma and fully let go.
They go on to express surprise, and some frustration, that they can be so inspired by Dhamma one evening and then so lost in anger the next morning.
They also share that this session with the KBV community and the teachings instantly took them back out of the anger.

We will explore ways to engage with the precepts-as prescriptive prohibition; as compassionate inquiry; and as a description of Buddha's mind.

Meditation: Awareness and Flow (20:17 min.)
20:16
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
This guided practice awakens all the senses with an embodied presence, allowing an opening to the moment-to-moment changing flow of experience. We then relax back, resting as the changeless open awareness that is conscious of the flow, and includes all life.
