Meditation: Touching Peace
22:51
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
This guided meditation offers a pathway to quieting our mind and calming anxiety. We begin with long deep breathing, and with the breath, engage the image of a smile and relax through the body. Then we practice resting in relaxed awareness, allowing waves of thoughts, feelings and sensations to come and go. The meditation ends with a beautiful verse from poet Philip Booth.

Tara Brach

During this time of pandemic, we need, more than ever, to feel our connectedness—true belonging with our own being, each other and all life. These talks explore the bodhisattva path – practices of an awakening being dedicated to living from love. The invitation is to let this season of close-in and global suffering deepen our collective commitment to creating a more compassionate world.

Nibbāna – The Taste of Freedom
46:09

Is it possible that the obstructions we meet are our fiercest teachers? We encounter the places where construction is no longer possible. It’s the last place we want to go, but if we can cultivate skillful means to linger there, we can taste nibbāna in this very life.

A Powerful Lens to Meet a Pandemic
39:40
|
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|

There is always a way of looking or way of relating to life operating when we are perceiving. When we understand that we can adjust this, we find a profound level of freedom. What is the most freeing lens to bring to how we look at this pandemic? And what does that mean (as a transferable skill) when we bring freeing ways of looking to the totality of our experience?

Nathan Glyde

A guided meditation offering mettā (well-wishing) towards those working the frontlines of health care and social care, those whose bodies are affected by the virus or disease themselves, and those taking precautions (like being in isolation). Opening our hearts and minds to all those affected, and beyond to all beings everywhere, can help reduce our stress and allow us to be more available to support.
Includes a brief introduction: skip first 3 mins to get to the beginning of guided meditation. May all beings be cared for and well in heart-mind and body.

We are living through an unusual period. As coronavirus spreads, much of what we take for granted is being shaken.
There is uncertainty and fear around us, and also within us.
How can Dharma teachings and practices support us?
How can we deepen understanding and compassion in the midst of it all?
This talk offers reflections on possibilities that are available to us, including practices that we can engage with, lean into, and cultivate.
