Why Do We Have To Be Human?
17:20
|
|
Ayya Medhanandi
|
|
|
Meditation is a renewable resource. “Why do we have to be human? O not because happiness exists – but because being in this Dharma realm means so much.” Our spiritual work reveals how we must hold the mind – as refuge, safety, and protection from harm. This is the basis for true happiness. We pay attention to what is impermanent and thereby discover deeper treasure, knowing Reality, the truest renewable resource. With the ego disabled from consciousness, we transcend beyond the bonds and blindness of our human existence.

Meditation for Life
47:11
|
|
Martine Batchelor
|
|
|
Meditation is not an idea of getting to a mystical state but of helping us to release. It is not an exotic practice but it is more like eating, brushing our teeth - it is a way to nourish ourselves and to open and finally to let go.
It is a lifelong journey where we learn to let go and stop grasping as we become aware of our life in each moment, accept each moment as it is.
Meditation can help us to be more in the world, by being here and now we can be skillful and respond to whatever happens in the present.
We develop clarity, we see the changing nature of things. When we are engulfed by feelings we can step back and say ‘how long will this last?’ We do not have to feed the feelings, we just need to be with them and watch them as they change.
We can bring creative awareness to everything that we do and use it to be fully where we are, to be in our relationships in our life.

Behind the Mask
49:00
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
The development of a mask or persona based on our activities and roles is a natural way the ego tries to protect and enhance itself. Yet unless we wake up from our identification with the mask, we are unable to discover the truth and wholeness of what we are. This talk investigates how our masks manifest and the process of wise attention that can free us from a limiting sense of separate self. Includes a guided meditation.

Mindfulness of the Body.
56:42
|
|
Sally Armstrong
|
|
|
Though the heart of our meditation practice is to understand and free the mind, much of our experience is known through the body, so our relationship to the body is extremely important. Learning how to work skillfully with both pleasant and painful experiences is essential in meditation, and developing a wise attitude to the body that appreciates it yet doesn’t identify with it as me or mine is a great support to the deepening of practice.

Impermanence
61:16
|
|
Guy Armstrong
|
|
|
A lot of understanding can come from reflecting on the way impermanence shows itself in our lives both outwardly and inwardly, including our vulnerability to aging and death. But even more penetrating insight comes to the mind that has become still through meditation. Through this way of seeing, the truth of impermanence sinks into our bones and the wisdom of non-clinging becomes very obvious.

Wisdom, Calm and Insight
36:46
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
In meditation we want to penetrate the depths of mind, to get the roots of our habits, attitudes, beliefs. We go through the body because it’s easier to discern as an object than mind. Steadying and calming the body energies, wisdom builds up, begins to know cause and effect, what leads to clarity, what leads to release.

Attention, Intention, Energy and Awareness
22:16
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Two factors play a part in the way the mind operates – attention and intention. Both are conditioned, and both carry energy. Attention limits the span of awareness, intention defines the quality of it. A lot of the problems in meditation can be resolved through attention, intention and bringing the right kind of energy to them.

Winnie Nazarko
|
|
|
When we attempt to extend metta (loving-kindness) to difficult people, things get interesting. In order to expand our capacity to love, we must strengthen our motivation to do so and work with obstacles which may arise. Through reflecting on the value of metta in our families and communities, we find the courage to undertake this spiritual challenges. Includes guided meditation.

Guide Meditation on Breathing
46:45
|
|
Ajahn Sucitto
|
|
|
Keep in mind, attention is on breathing rather than a breath – a process, not a specific thing. Making use of vitakka-vicara, linger and pick up the quality of breath-energy as it moves through. Hold the form, keep the inquiry, remain in the present moment. What is the breathing now?
