Meditation: Breath Love In Breath Love Out | Monday Night Talk
24:18
|
Jack Kornfield
|
|
Meditation is an invitation in this moment’s practice to turn our attention to our body, heart and mind. Begin to pay attention to this mysterious human incarnation. Feel how your body is breathing itself… you don’t have to do anything. Add metta or lovingkindness to each breath. With each breath in, fill your body and being with lovingkindness for yourself. With each breath out, sense you are sending love out to the world.

Untangle the Entangled
48:05
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|
Exploring meeting the hindrances in skilful ways. Firstly seeing them as wonderful opportunities for growth and development of heart. Secondly not taking them personally, not fully believing what they say (shape) about the world. And thirdly finding skilful means through mettā, insight, and samādhi practices to find well-being in the midst of the entanglement of dukkha.

The Art and Practice of Forgiveness
4:23:24
|
Phillip Moffitt,
Noliwe Alexander
|
|
The art of forgiveness begins with connecting to the heart. The practice involves learning skills such as metta, mindful acknowledgement, and compassion. Practicing these skills enables you to free yourself from painful identification with past events.
This is a day to bring remorse or grief about past actions and move beyond feelings of guilt and shame. Likewise, if someone has wronged you, you will be guided toward holding them in accountability without closing your heart. Additionally, forgiveness practice will move you toward clarity and acceptance for the ways you have let yourself down.
Practicing forgiveness allows you to move from a heavy, remorseful heart and a reactive mind to a heart that’s light but still feels regret, and a mind that is calm and clear. The day will be held with periods of guided silent sitting and walking meditation practice, instruction in the art and practice of forgiveness, and a forgiveness ceremony, with opportunities to ask questions to the instructors.

Mettā Samādhi or Samādhi Mettā
55:38
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|
Exploring what happens when we offer mettā phrases that resonate with and radiate the felt sense of samādhi. Apologies: there are a lot of environmental noises from the sonic-cityscape I sat in to offer this online session. Hopefully the inimitable delight of Dharma overcomes the occasional annoyance of a horn, alarm, or call of a city dwellers.

Metta, Mantra, Addiction, Recovery: Three Questions
21:39
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
We are braver than we know and can endure more than we realize if there is a readiness to renounce and be creative. Learn to refine, adapt, repeat teachings until they are embodied, and deeply listen to all that life offers. Reaching out to others according to our skills and strength, connect and offer guidance if it is welcome. Compassion born of growing wisdom will be our trustworthy compass.

Opportunities for Samadhi and Metta
50:37
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|
Drawing the hindrances towards samadhi. Exploring how we can find ways to ease greed and aversion by relating to them as energy, rather than as content and story. Based around the insight that all obstacles to practice arise in our ways of relating. And remembering there is always a possibility for another way of relating, leads us towards the liberation of possibilities.

Hebrew - Metta and Samadhi
59:33
|
Zohar Lavie
|
|
In Hebrew: Exploring how metta and samadhi co-create conditions and experiences of non-dukkha. How metta reveals intimacy, and expresses non-demanding. And how samadhi tunes us beyond our habitual capacities, so we can linger in what is deeply okay, and open into liberating well-being.
