Citta is moved by images that can be sparked by thought, visual, auditory or somatic/felt experience. This guided meditation accesses these portals to generate receptivity and resonances of goodwill within yourself, then spread them out.

Rather than rely on a system, cultivate an attitude towards practice. Systems have uses, but can eventually curtail what we’re trying to drop into. Part of the theme of this retreat is about recognizing some of the stressful systems that get built into our minds around speed and progress – and awakening out of them. [24:06 Begin Guided Meditation] Establishing Ground and Space through Breathing: We can use the body as a channel to settle the mind. Use the out-breath to ground, use the in-breath to lift. These two together give you a form with a distinct foundation and uprightness to it.
This short talk and guided meditation remind us that we each have the capacity to awaken our hearts. We explore together the lovingkindness (metta) meditation, and emphasize holding our own being and dear ones with a tender, open and loving presence.
Can we travel into our past and into our future through the power of our intention and the magnetic pulse of our hearts? Maybe? And what’s wrong with living in the Maybe Place? This guided meditation supports us in deepening the capacity of our hearts to listen deeply and at ease to our own pain and suffering across our lives. Widening the heart's capacity to hold our own grief and sorrow will strengthen our capacity to turn toward, be with, and then respond thoughtfully to the pain of the world.
