From the Ordinary Habitual Mind to the Buddha-Mind 4: Practicing with the Body 2
66:25
|
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
|
We contextualize our conditioning in relationship to the different “parts” of our experience—related to our thinking, emotions, and body—by examining some the social and cultural history of the last few hundred years, in which thinking has been increasingly differentiated from emotions and the body. We then examine further the nature of our ordinary, habitual experience of the body. The main focus is on a number of “body practices,” including mindfulness of the body in both formal meditation and daily life, ways to self-regulate when there is high activation, using the body in investigation of experience, and the body as a key to presence in speech and interaction.

Meditation: Awakening Our Energy Body
19:49
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
This meditation scans the body and directly invites the awakening of key energy centers (chakras) in our body. We then rest in the openhearted awareness that includes this ever changing creative flow of aliveness. We close with a prayer of loving kindness.
"No matter how often the mind drifts, all that really matters is the quality of heart in the way you come back… to come back with interest and friendliness to this moment, then you plant those seeds for whatever else arises."

The Face of Holiness
31:28
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Through the lens of Truth, mindful and attentive, we pierce anger, sorrow, fear and complacency. We are on the cusp of realizing who we are. Clear present awareness leads us inwards. We are on track to let go, relinquish and abandon all that is harmful. Discarding ancient beliefs one after another with microscopic insight, we empty out the rubbish from the mind. Radical awareness directly knows the impersonal, imperfect and empty nature of all that we experience. Now we see the face of holiness. Giving our hearts to truth, we are set free.

Vertrauen als Kraft und Fähigkeit entwickeln
43:42
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Vertrauen ist eine der fünf Fähigkeiten und Kräfte, die wir für die Praxis brauchen. Anfangs vertrauen wir weitgehend blind, doch im Laufe der Zeit entwickelt sich ein Vertrauen, das auf Erfahrung basiert.
Aber Vertrauen ist auch eine Fähigkeit, die wir für in nahen Beziehungen und im zwischenmenschlichen Bereich täglich brauchen. Gerade hier ist unser Vertrauen häufig enttäuscht oder gar missbraucht worden.
Wie können wir die Fähigkeit des Vertrauens wieder entdecken?

Insight practice through a systematic and cultural lens: talk and experiential practice
48:51
|
|
Erin Selover
|
|
|
Insight Meditation, also known as Vipassana Meditation, is the 2,600-year-old practice of cultivating wise presence by bringing a caring, curious, and discerning attention to what is happening moment-to-moment. Conditioned to go after what we want and avoid what we don’t want, we often act from habit and reactivity instead of our deeper held values and beliefs. With mindful presence, we can learn to cut through habitual reactivity and access innate states of well-being, creativity, courage, and liberating personal and collective insight.

Lifetime Vow
41:17
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
To vow for life: not to compromise our faith, our virtue, or our goodness - even in a moment of terror - is a powerful spiritual ally. Not cowering nor retaliating even in a hopeless-feeling-moment, we learn to stay present with compassion and kindness. As long as we remember to keep the practice alive within, we will have the stamina to grow in generosity, equanimity, and wisdom. So, at all times, make good-will the mantra of your heart.

Satipatthanapraxis - Unwissenheit durchdringen
45:46
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
Am Ende geht es in der Satipatthana Sutta um das erkennen der Unwissenheit, Täuschung bzw. das unschuldige Missverständnis in unserer Wahrnehmungsverarbeitung. Wir verarbeiten unser persönliches Erleben als etwas Dauerhaftes, Befriedigendes und Persönliches, das autark und beständig wirklich ist. Das Missverständnis führt zu Verstrickung und Leiden. Das Durchdringen der Täuschung zu Verbundenheit, Wertschätzung und Frieden. Im ersten Schritt gilt es die Täuschung zu bemerken, im zweiten Erfahrungen zuzulassen, die das Missverständnis offen legen.

We keep searching for happiness through travel, surfing the internet, shopping, and other worldly ways – but does it ever last? Supreme happiness arises right here in the heart – when we are patient beyond measure, present, stronger than we know. With groundbreaking inner seeing, free of devices – and free of vices – pure, wise clarity and conscious awareness disentangle and unburden the mind of fear, obsession, all distractions, and at last, all suffering! This is the key to exit our self-made prison of beliefs, thoughts and opinions as we awaken to our true inheritance – the liberatig Truth of what we are.

Life Saving Sanctuary
25:31
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Our spiritual home is within the heart. Are we able to activate that awareness, and to treasure kindness and goodness in our daily actions and speech? Can wholesome states of mind prevail even when we face difficult or painful conditions? Moral purity is the harbinger for our waking up to the Truth within us. As we hasten to empty and weed out self-centredness, the poison arrow of craving is extracted. This is freedom – this is life-saving sanctuary.

Our spiritual home is within the heart. Are we able to know and bring to life that awareness, to treasure goodness in our daily acts and words of kindness as well as in wholesome states of mind - even where conditions are not so conducive to that? Let us empty ourselves of self-centredness to embody more and more the realization of the Truth within us. Let us guard the mind against the hindrances and pull out the poison arrow of craving. What freedom! We shall brighten the mind and lift up our hearts. This is life-saving sanctuary.

Satipatthanapraxis - die fünf Hindernisse
50:09
|
|
Renate Seifarth
|
|
|
In der vierten Grundlage der Achtsamkeit, der Satipatthana Sutta erwähnt der Buddha fünf Geisteszustände, die er als Hindernisse in der Praxis sieht. Es handelt sich um Verlangen, Ablehnung, Mattheit, Rastlosigkeit und skeptischen Zweifel. Wie erkennen wir die Hindernisse und wie gehen wir mit ihnen um? Wobei diese Geisteszustände manchmal auch ganz stimmige oder sogar hilfreiche Regungen des Geistes sind.
