Amita Schmidt

A unique vertical, guided meditation for dropping below your thinking, to the body breathing, and then to awareness itself. This meditation is unique in that it doesn't try to stop thinking, but includes it as part of a vertical awareness of your whole being, here now.

Going through the process of sitting in silence over a long period of time is a unique and profound experience. What happens on a month-long retreat and why do people do it? Though it is not possible for everyone to get away for that length of time or have the desire to do it, the principles shared can be applied to shorter retreats as well

Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness – The Power of Self-Nurturing
60:24
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
While we all need to customize meditation, this is particularly important for those living with PTSD or strong, potentially overwhelming emotions.
This talk explores how trauma cuts us off from wholeness, and is accompanied by a deep and painful experience of shame. We look at the ways meditation can be adapted to cultivate sufficient safety for the full transformational healing of mindfulness to unfold.
The gift of processing trauma is that the place of woundedness becomes a gateway into profound love, healing, and freedom.
