2025-01-08 Guided Meditation: Identifying Some of the Ways that We Construct Experience 37:10
Donald Rothberg
After some basic instructions in developing concentration and stability, as well as mindfulness, we practice in silence. After about another ten minutes, there are several periodic brief periods of guided practice, in which we are guided to notice our main patterns of thought and perception of objects. In the latter part of the period, we are guided to drop constructions of experience in two ways.

2025-01-02 Reflections on vedanā (hedonic tone) and guided practice 43:39
Akincano Marc Weber
Hedonic tone (vedanā) as a feature of human experience is the major factor in governing involuntary attention – vedanā rules much of our attention. The reflections unpack the role of feeling tone on attention, intention and the cultivation of mindfulness. Learning to cultivate attention beyond gratification and avoidance and to uncouple attention from pleasant or unpleasant feeling tone.

2025-01-01 Kafka – Love, Loss and the Satipaṭṭhāna 68:20
Akincano Marc Weber
Kafka and the girl with a lost doll. Satipaṭṭhāna and Suttas in general – a little history. Satipaṭṭhāna as a cartography of human expericence: the 'raw materials' to establish mindfulness in. (This is not the satipaṭṭhāna as exercise but their use as a map of the somatic, hedonic, affective and discursive aspects of mind.) This orientation helps greatly with the actual practice of satipatthana exercises outline elsewhere.
