Mindfulness of breath opening into mindfulness of the whole body, including working with the feeling tones and pain

A gentle guide through all the steps with a focus on Dhamma reflection.

Based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, this talk explores our relationship with the body, feelings, mind and Dhamma - to untangle the tangle of suffering.

We may think some experiences are better than others to support awakening, but the Buddha said otherwise. This talk explores the liberative quality of mindfulness and the implications of this understanding.

In our fast-paced, confusing, unjust world, it's easy - perhaps even natural - to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in cycles of reactivity. Fortunately, the Buddha's Middle Path offers us another way (namely Wise View, Wise Intention, Wise Speech, Wise Action, Wise Livelihood, Wise Effort, Wise Mindfulness & Wise Concentration). This Dharma talk will explore and illuminate how the eight trainings of the Middle Path can help us establish a more balanced and embodied approach to life's many challenges. We could sum it up as resilience. Drawing from our traditional practices and of sitting and walking meditation, we'll delve into a re-embodying approach that fosters buoyancy, clarity, and compassion, even in the most difficult situations. The teachings will be suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners seeking to enrich their practice with embodied mindfulness. The evening's session will help practitioners ground their meditation in the felt sense of the body, making the profound teachings of the Dharma more accessible and alive in everyday life, with all its joys, sorrows and surprises.
