Who Is Here?

When we meditate, we might only meet the member of the "committee of the mind" that wants to meditate. There are likely more members to meet in skilful ways. And more skilful members of the committee to encourage. Starting with "Gom" (getting familiar) we can discover the common patterns of stress and distress we live with, and learn patterns of possibilities to enact and expand our deepest intentions.

Deepening Daily Life Practice: Eight Ways

We start with an emphasis on the importance of daily life practice, and on some of the ways that it is sometimes seen as secondary in insight meditation, when we center formal practice and retreats. We then explore eight different ways to deepen daily life practice, inviting the listener to see which one or two ways most resonate as part of one's "next steps" in deepening daily life practice. The talk is followed by a period of reflection and then by discussion.

We work with several modes of practice which can be developed in formal practice as well as in daily life (and that are discussed in the talk and discussion following this guided meditation). After a period of grounding in the body, we work with a heart practice (such as lovingkindness), a specific teaching (practicing with the sequence from contact to the feeling-tone of pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral, to wanting, and to grasping from the teaching of Dependent Origination is briefly given), and a "mixing" or "mingling" of formal meditation and a daily life activity.
