2022-09-14 Navigating Conflict with a Wise Heart – Part 2 57:05
Tara Brach
This series of talks offers guidance in transforming conflict into a portal for awakening your understanding, flexibility and compassion. We look at how to heal our own unmet needs and not be dependent on others changing; and how to engage with another person when both are dedicated to mindful communication. We also extend our exploration to societal conflict. The talks are accompanied by reflections and meditations that can directly enhance your capacity to respond to conflict from the most wise and caring part of your being.

2022-09-12 The Reality of the Present Meditation | Monday Night 27:09
Jack Kornfield
With your eyes closed, sense yourself seated here in the reality of the present, just now—be here now, in this moment. Feel a connection to the ground beneath you—you're held to Mother Earth by gravity. Feel the steadiness, groundedness of taking this seat half way between Heaven and Earth, under your own tree of enlightenment. Let the heart be soft to receive whatever arises in the spirit of kindness and compassion.

Nathan Glyde
Dukkha is contracted and selfish. What happens to the heart-mind when we open in empathy, care, and kindness to all kinds of beings? What happens when we include all locations we can imagine? What happens when we include future generations into the most distant times we can imagine? An ethically wise and kind opening of dukkha contraction is a taste of freedom.
