Relaxing into practice, taking care of the causes of awakening and freedom. To support this - refreshing wise attitude, keeping Yoniso manasikāra simple, and seeing the eight worldly winds.
Embracing the first three factors of awakening, as the ones we always have some agency in. Linking them to connecting with the vertical.
Relating to the next four factors, more as results of the first three - qualities of our depth.
Guided meditation, exploring experience through the senses, and how things build from the raw sense contact.
The imminence of all experience through the senses, and becoming curious about the feeling tone of all sense contact.
Including feeling the experience of craving and aversion, as the 'suffering that leads to the end of suffering'.
Embracing continuity of practice. Including the ways in which we lose our way - and taking ourselves less personally.

Meditation: A Present Heart

One translation of mindfulness, in Chinese, is “present heart.” In this guided meditation we begin by awakening through the body and the senses, and then open the attention to the changing flow of experience. The intention is to meet whatever arises with a wakeful and kind presence.
It’s so helpful to say, “What’s happening inside me right now?” Then, “Can I meet this with kindness, with a present heart?”

An exploration of the āsava teaching: our tendencies or karmic propensities of seeking happiness in sensual pleasures, in becoming, in ignorance, and in views. When we expect them, we are better served to defy them. Includes a guided meditation, refection, and responses to (unrecorded) questions. From the Gaia House Online Dharma Hall.

Meditation: Letting Go of Doing

Meditation becomes truly freeing in the moments when there is no controlling whatsoever; when nothing is resisted or grasped after. This guided meditation begins with a simple body scan, relaxing and awakening to sensations in the body and then including the play of sound.
We then let go of any doing, and simply notice and allow the changing flow of experience, letting life be just as it is. In this pure allowing presence we become aware of the background silence that is listening. The invitation is to relax and be the awareness that is conscious of all that is unfolding.

Guided Meditation Exploring the Judgmental Mind

After a period of settling and general mindfulness practice, we invite noticing and being with any expressions of the judgmental mind (here called "judgments") if they occur. In the second part of the guided meditation, there is also a more direct investigation of a selected judgment, exploring it at the levels of body, emotions, and thought, and seeing whether any underlying painful or difficult experience can be noticed. We close with a brief three-part self-compassion practice (from Kristin Neff).
