We include some specific suggestions for ways to practice renunciation in lay life as well.

2019-03-21 Coming Back to Life 46:14
Nathan Glyde
Expanding out of Experiential Fusion (being lost) into Meta-awareness (knowing) we come back to life. Realigning to our place in the universe (Copernicus) or our place among other beings (empty-interconnectivity) has a similar flavour. By being more honest, humble and kind, we rediscover and recreate flexible wise aliveness.

James Baraz
The Buddhist writer Wei Wu Wei says: "True humility is the absence of anyone to be proud." We are often humbled by life. How we handle it can either lead to defeat or profound growth. We will explore how being humbled can deepen our capacity to open to all of our experience and strengthen our confidence and trust as we align ourselves with something greater than ourself.

2019-03-20 Meditation: Being Here (with community OM’s) 20:42
Tara Brach
We miss many moments of this precious life drifting in a virtual thought world. This meditation helps us collect and calm ourselves with the breath; relax through our bodies; and then include the changing dance of sounds, sensations and feeling in open awareness. Our practice is to recognize the quality of Hereness, and when we drift, return again to this open presence, relaxing with the changing flow of life. “…learning to relax with the flow of life… to be fully here.”

2019-03-20 Embodied Presence: Portal to the Sacred – Part 2 50:54
Tara Brach
This two part series explores how we regularly leave our body and skim life’s surface in a mental trance, and the ways we can train our attention to come home again. We look at working with physical and emotional pain, and the gifts of love, wisdom, creativity and aliveness that arise as we learn to fully inhabit these living forms and all our senses with awareness. Includes a meditation to guide us in working with pain.
