Talk: The Life of the Heart: Emotions and Mind States in Mettā Practice
64:17
|
|
Yahel Avigur
|
|
|
Mettā practice involves and supports our whole being, including the full range of what may be alive in our hearts. In this talk, we explore ways of relating skilfully and wholeheartedly to our emotional life, developing greater sensitivity, understanding, and capacity to work with the movements of the heart. Like the retreat as a whole, this talk draws on suggestions offered by Rob Burbea in his 2011 retreat, “The Lovingkindness Retreat”.

In this talk, we explore the place of samādhi—the quality of gathering and harmonising the heart and mind—in mettā practice. We learn how to support its development, allowing both the meditative experience and the quality of mettā to deepen and refine.

Witnessing experience
30:56

Ajahn Viradhammo

The theme of this Sunday talk, is witnessing experience as it is. The awakened mind, does not demand anything be different to what it is, in the moment free of judgement. The theme that this builds upon, is "Santitikko"- Something that can be verified for oneself. If we can see suffering for what it is, as its is now, in the moment, we get out of it a little easier. So the practice becomes one of Witnessing the way it is now, first. Action can follow later if necessary.
