Meditation: Continuous Space Suffused with Awareness
18:41
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
By learning to inhabit the body, we discover the space and aliveness that fills the universe. In this meditation we are guided through the body, filling different domains with presence. We then open into the continuous awake space that is both within and surrounds the body. When we notice the mind drifts, we relax back to be that awake space, aware of the changing flow of sensations, thoughts, feelings and sounds.
We close with a simple prayer:
May we come home to the light, love and aliveness that’s our deep nature. May we live our lives from loving presence.
May that loving presence ripple out in a way that brings peace and healing to our world.
Namaste

Intro Sasanarakkha: Make your practice extensive, rather than intensive
62:12
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
The essence of Buddhist practice is dealing with dukkha, unsatisfactoriness. While on retreat, observing precepts, making determinations and simplicity support our cultivation. So there’s always something you can be cultivating throughout the day. Meditation is just a support to Dhamma, Dhamma is the main thing. Cover it all. [40:36 Guided meditation] Settling practices, settling into space. Begins with feeling ground beneath, upright axis of spine, using wide visual field as a support.

Settling into sitting meditation, tracing posture and energy up the back and down the front, spherical breathing from abdomen. [Bell at 38:17] [Instructions at 40:27] Invitation to loosen the intensity and congestion of thought - vaci-sankhāra, that which forms thought energy. Rather than not thinking, take time to formulate what to think about and bring heart qualities into that. This is a dhamma practice.

The Peace of Not-Clinging: A Guided Meditation
20:23
|
|
Shaila Catherine
|
|
|
Shaila Catherine offers this 20-minute teaching on impermanence and not-clinging in the mode of guided meditation instructions. We practice being unattached to pleasant and unpleasant feelings and releasing all clinging connected with sensual desire or aversion. To cultivate non-clinging, first notice the experience of clinging, perhaps by observing physical tightness, mental contraction, or a sense of separation. As you become mindful of the changing nature of experiences, allow yourself to deeply accept this fact of impermanence. Allow experiences to arise and be known, and also let them end.

A Grateful, Giving, Happy Heart
49:20
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Gratitude is like breathing in – letting ourselves be touched by the goodness in others and in our world. Generosity is like breathing out – sensing our mutual belonging and offering our care. When we are awake and whole, breathing in and out happens naturally. But these beautiful expressions of our heart become blocked when we are dominated by the fear and grasping of our survival brain. This talk explores how we can facilitate the evolution of consciousness with the deliberate cultivation of generosity, and ends with a guided meditation on gratitude and generosity.
For happiness, how little suffices for happiness! … the least thing precisely, the gentlest thing, the lightest thing, a lizard’s rustling, a breath, a whisper, an eye glance-little maketh up the best happiness. Be still.
