2019-04-24 Meditation: Awakening Our Energy Body 19:49
Tara Brach
This meditation scans the body and directly invites the awakening of key energy centers (chakras) in our body. We then rest in the openhearted awareness that includes this ever changing creative flow of aliveness. We close with a prayer of loving kindness. "No matter how often the mind drifts, all that really matters is the quality of heart in the way you come back… to come back with interest and friendliness to this moment, then you plant those seeds for whatever else arises."
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC IMCW Wednesday Evening Talks

2019-04-24 Equanimity: A Heart That is Ready for Anything (Duck Meditation) 50:28
Tara Brach
Equanimity is the quality of presence that is open, balanced and non-reactive. As this talk explores, when equanimity is lacking, we become easily lost in trance, identified as a defended and controlling egoic self. When present, the solidity and constriction of egoic self dissolves, and our heart is free to respond to life with love, compassion, forgiveness and joy. Note: this talk is a favorite from the 2014 archives and includes the “Duck Meditation” and bricklayer stories.

2019-04-22 The Face of Holiness 31:28
Ayya Medhanandi
Through the lens of Truth, mindful and attentive, we pierce anger, sorrow, fear and complacency. We are on the cusp of realizing who we are. Clear present awareness leads us inwards. We are on track to let go, relinquish and abandon all that is harmful. Discarding ancient beliefs one after another with microscopic insight, we empty out the rubbish from the mind. Radical awareness directly knows the impersonal, imperfect and empty nature of all that we experience. Now we see the face of holiness. Giving our hearts to truth, we are set free.

2019-04-21 Vertrauen als Kraft und Fähigkeit entwickeln 43:42
Renate Seifarth
Vertrauen ist eine der fünf Fähigkeiten und Kräfte, die wir für die Praxis brauchen. Anfangs vertrauen wir weitgehend blind, doch im Laufe der Zeit entwickelt sich ein Vertrauen, das auf Erfahrung basiert. Aber Vertrauen ist auch eine Fähigkeit, die wir für in nahen Beziehungen und im zwischenmenschlichen Bereich täglich brauchen. Gerade hier ist unser Vertrauen häufig enttäuscht oder gar missbraucht worden. Wie können wir die Fähigkeit des Vertrauens wieder entdecken?

2019-04-21 Insight practice through a systematic and cultural lens: talk and experiential practice 48:51
Erin Selover
Insight Meditation, also known as Vipassana Meditation, is the 2,600-year-old practice of cultivating wise presence by bringing a caring, curious, and discerning attention to what is happening moment-to-moment. Conditioned to go after what we want and avoid what we don’t want, we often act from habit and reactivity instead of our deeper held values and beliefs. With mindful presence, we can learn to cut through habitual reactivity and access innate states of well-being, creativity, courage, and liberating personal and collective insight.

2019-04-20 Lifetime Vow 41:17
Ayya Medhanandi
To vow for life: not to compromise our faith, our virtue, or our goodness - even in a moment of terror - is a powerful spiritual ally. Not cowering nor retaliating even in a hopeless-feeling-moment, we learn to stay present with compassion and kindness. As long as we remember to keep the practice alive within, we will have the stamina to grow in generosity, equanimity, and wisdom. So, at all times, make good-will the mantra of your heart.

2019-04-20 Satipatthanapraxis - Unwissenheit durchdringen 45:46
Renate Seifarth
Am Ende geht es in der Satipatthana Sutta um das erkennen der Unwissenheit, Täuschung bzw. das unschuldige Missverständnis in unserer Wahrnehmungsverarbeitung. Wir verarbeiten unser persönliches Erleben als etwas Dauerhaftes, Befriedigendes und Persönliches, das autark und beständig wirklich ist. Das Missverständnis führt zu Verstrickung und Leiden. Das Durchdringen der Täuschung zu Verbundenheit, Wertschätzung und Frieden. Im ersten Schritt gilt es die Täuschung zu bemerken, im zweiten Erfahrungen zuzulassen, die das Missverständnis offen legen.
