Guided meditation into the intimate refuge of body and breath. Relaxing into the support of the great mother earth. Opening to receive the flow of breath. 45-minuted guided meditation followed by 15 minute reflection.
Any time we practice mindfulness and wise attention, we are weakening the impact of the hindrances, and strengthening what are known as the five jhanic factors: meditative qualities that support the continuity and deepening of our meditation. Each of the jhanic factors actually balances and acts as an antidote to one of the hindrances. This talk looks at how to strengthen the jhanic factors, and use them skillfully as antidotes to the hindrances.
