In this recording, Shaila Catherine offers detailed instructions in the form of a guided meditation for systematically cultivating sympathetic joy (mudita). The method involves directing attention to beings who occupy a variety of categories, while the meditator reflects on phrases that stimulate an attitude of rejoicing. Mudita is a powerful quality that uproots envy, ends jealously, and overcomes aversion, chronic comparing, and excessive competitiveness.
Through tending to the layers that may need clearing out and letting go, we can come into harmony with the truth of the way things are. A reflection on the three characteristics of existence and attunement to nature.
Reflections on practicing with breath and awareness: readings from Ajahn Chah and Tilopa's song to Naropa. Mantra "may I be filled with loving kindness"
This guided meditation includes a full body scan, and the recognition of the formless awareness that includes and is the source of all experience. By recognizing that awareness we discover the silence and stillness that is the ground of all experience.
