Shelly Graf

The weekly practice groups are designed to be a cornerstone for one's practice by providing ongoing instruction and teachings that will help illuminate the simple but challenging practice of mindfulness. The Buddha taught that mindfulness is the way to go beyond habits of distraction and grasping. To walk this path of wisdom and compassion, we need the support of a community that shares this intention. Each session includes a guided meditation, dharma talk, and discussion. Both experienced and beginning meditators are welcome. No registration necessary. Wednesday nights will be led by Shelly Graf, and guest teachers.
Shelly will be using the book, Listening to the Heart: A Contemplative Journey to Engaged Buddhism by Thanissara and Kitisaro to guide these Wednesday night practice groups. The book can be ordered online if you would like to follow along with the written text.

Brahma Vihara: Equanimity
51:38
|
|
James Baraz
|
|
|
Equanimity is the last of the 4 Brahma Viharas. It holds the other three--metta, compassion/karuna, and mudita--with spaciousness and balance. Equanimity reminds us to allow for life to unfold as it will. We can let go of control, which we never had in the first place, meeting life's up and downs with balance and the possibility of a wise, skillful response.

Trusting Your Buddha Knowing

|
James Baraz
|
|
|
With so many instructions and ways to practice, how do we know which is the "right one"? Similarly, with all decisions we need to make in our lives, how can we access the wisdom right inside?

Every experience has the quality of being pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. When we can bring mindfulness to this aspect of the experience, we have the potential of not falling into greed, aversion, or delusion.

Seeing the World with the Heart of Wisdom | Monday Night talk
51:25
|
|
Jack Kornfield
|
|
|
We have the capacity to be awake and to see the world as it is with a graciousness and an understanding.
As the poet Mary Oliver writes, "To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go."
This is our dance, our human incarnation: to tend and love that which is ephemeral.

Meditation: Loving Awareness | Monday Night
26:47
|
|
Jack Kornfield
|
|
|
The freedom of loving awareness is available; it just takes practice for you to remember it, and to trust that it is always here. When you feel lost, stuck in a tiny part of the big picture, contracted, or caught up, take a breath and visualize yourself stepping back. With a spacious mind, you can witness even these contracted states and hold them in loving awareness.

A Boundless Path of Insight
48:35
|
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|
|
Saṅkhāra points out that in every moment of life there is a phenomena in attention and atmosphere of attention that is shaping it. This happens on a retreat and in the whole of our life. Is our meditation practice of deep listening and skilful cultivation only useful on the ‘cushion’ or is it a tool for awakening in very moment of life?

Meditation: Homecoming with the Breath
23:47
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
This meditation focuses on the breath as an anchor for homecoming. We begin with an intentional breath (coherence breathing) and then establish the natural breath as a home base. The instructions are to rest in the breath, offering a relaxed, intimate intention. Other waves of sensation or emotion are included when they ask for attention as we cultivate an open and full mindful presence. Our freedom arises as we recognize the formless awareness that is our home, and the natural and ever-changing waves that live through us.

Practitioner story and Q&A included.

Exploring wisdom ways of looking to bring insight into our practice, where paying attention is the key. Seeing the inconstancy in all things opens the possibility for greater sensitivity. Seeing the rating of all things by the enjoyment or distress they might offer as just an opinion, rather than fact, opens the possibility of more ease and delight.
