2018-02-14 Meditation: Awareness is Our Home 21:29
Tara Brach
This guided practice helps us come into our senses through a body scan. We then rest in the awareness that is listening to and feeling the changing flow of experience. When the mind drifts, the return is a relaxing back to our senses, and to the sea of awareness that includes and experiences the waves of life.
Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC IMCW Wednesday Evening Talks

2018-02-14 Compassion – Part 2 of Present Heart: The Universal Expressions of Love 51:48
Tara Brach
Part 2: Compassion – the tender resonance of heart – awakens as we allow ourselves to be touched by our shared vulnerability. This series reflects on four primary expressions of an awake, wise heart: lovingkindness, compassion, joy and equanimity. In each talk we explore the habitual patterning that blocks our full realization of these innate capacities, and the understandings and practices that nurture their unfolding.

James Baraz
The journey of awakening often begins with learning to open up to all the hidden places inside. Facing our demons, learning to accept and eventually embrace the whole package of who we are. That's when the process gets truly interesting-when we move to the bigger perspective tuning into the awareness that can hold it all.

Yuka Nakamura
Durch die Art, wie wir schauen und wahrnehmen, erschaffen wir unsere Welt. Dharmapraxis hilft uns, uns dieses Prozesses gewahr zu werden und weniger in gewohnten, täuschenden Wahrnehmungen gefangen zu bleiben. Und sie eröffnet uns die Möglichkeit bewusst mit Sichtweisen zu spielen und solche Sichtweisen zu wählen, die unseren Herzgeist befreien.

2018-02-09 Soulful Attitude to Dukkha in Twoness 5:15
Catherine McGee
The talks and exercises from this 'Tending the Holy Fire' retreat are intended for experienced practitioners who already have a working familiarity with this particular Soulmaking paradigm, as outlined, for example, in the following retreats: 'The Path of the Imaginal (Longer Course)'; 'Re-enchanting the Cosmos: The Poetry of Perception'; and 'Of Hermits and Lovers: The Alchemy of Desire'. Integrating that previous material and also taking the talks in this new set in their intended order will, for most, support a better and fuller understanding of the teachings from this course. Without this practice and knowledge base, the material from this retreat may be confusing and unhelpful.
