In times of uncertainty, loss and deep fatigue, the Buddha's teaching offers not just insight, but refuge. Through story, humor, and somatic grounding, this talk explores the four noble truths as an embodied path: naming suffering without turning away, understanding how the heart clings to feel safe, tasting moments of ease, and discovering a way of being that allows us to stay present with tenderness and strength.
This recording includes a brief talk followed by a guided meditation on The Arriving Sequence, which is an important way we establish sati (mindfulness) in the "Naturally Arising Practice Method," which was created by Phillip Moffitt. The Arriving Sequence cultivates grounded presence and includes: arriving in the present moment, becoming available to the felt sense in the present moment, aligning with our aspirations.
