    How They Meditate – Mahāsī Sayādaw (Guided Meditation)

    This is part of our series How They Meditate, covering various meditation teachers and their styles. Visit https://OneMindDharma.com/howtheymeditate to see all episodes. Mahāsī Sayādaw is an important teacher in the modern insight meditation tradition. He deeply influenced how Buddhism and meditation are taught in the West, popularizing practices like noting/labeling, working the the breath in the abdomen, and making meditation accessible to laypeople. With students such as Sayadaw U Pandita, Munindra, Dipa Ma, Jack Kornfield, Joseph Goldstein, and Sharon Salzberg, many of the methods we use in insight meditation in the West ultimately come from Mahāsī Sayādaw. In this meditation, we will work with his teachings of noting, working with the breath at the abdomen, and investigating intention. There really is one resource for this style of meditation that stands above all. It is called the Manual of Insight (https://amzn.to/4x8fk0Q). It’s a dense book, but contains the full outline of his practice, methodology, and theory. For more resources on Mahasi Sayadaw, visit https://OneMindDharma.com/Mahasi.

    10 Minute Meditation – Calming the Body

    Today we have a short (10 minute) meditation on calming the body. This is a form of body scan in which we move slowly through the body inviting in relaxation to each part. This can be a useful practice to help when we’re tense, to help fall asleep, or just to connect with the body.

    Turning Toward Life

    Last Updated on August 10, 2026 by Matthew Sockolov Today’s dharma talk centers on the idea of turning toward life. We quite often react by averting from aspects of experience. Some moments can indeed be difficult. But even in the painful moments, we can still benefit from turning toward life.

    Mindful Eating and Food – Mindfulness in Daily Life

    Part of our series on Mindfulness in Daily Life, we’re talking about food today! We will of course cover mindful eating, but also mindfulness as it relates to shopping, digestion, craving, and more. I am not here to offer dietary advice or tell you how you should or should not eat. Instead, this talk focuses on tuning into the entire experience of eating with mindfulness, loving-kindness, and wisdom. What Is Mindful Eating?
