Body and mind work together to bring about the sense of stability and balance. Disengagement is then possible, becoming your frame of reference as phenomena arise. Agreeable feeling comes from disengagement.
First hybrid event in Harris Park – breath meditation guided by Bhante Sujato, Dhamma talk by Bhante Sujato on the life of the Buddha: the man behind the myth. On renunciation and the moment of decision. Attadanda sutta (Sutta Nipata)
This dharma talk delves into material not often discussed by dharma teachers, as part of Tina's series on Embodiment. Content includes: the types of psychological material we can encounter and how they are different; the two basic ways to work with psychological material in one's practice; ways to use traditional Buddhist meditations, "off the cushion" to deepen our practice.
This guided practice has a short period of relaxing the body, and establishes the breath as a home base for attention. We practice arriving again and again, deepening the pathway of homecoming. The meditation ends with lovingkindness for ourselves and our world.
Within an open restful frame, things can be expressed, felt and sensed. It’s a chance for things to complete themselves and move on. The only effort is to stay in touch with this open restful frame. Just let the still openness work for you.
