The Ten Perfections: #2 Be Virtuous [recast]
This talk explores how paying attention to your behavior can support you in your life.
You’ll learn how all traditions have guidelines regarding your moral behavior, how morality is often based on a negativity bias and how ultimately, it’s up to you to determine what you really want and define for yourself what it means to be virtuous and in integrity. -
The Ten Perfections: #1 Be Generous [recast]
This talk explores the power of cultivating an attitude of love and care in your life.
You’ll learn what the Buddha said about giving, how intimately receiving is connected to generosity, the shadow-side of the practice and the power of taking generous actions when you feel called. -
Embodied Presence: Practices for Self-Care and Healing
This talk explores some practices for cultivating embodied compassion and care.
You’ll explore what means to ‘heal’ as well as a few ‘deep dives’ - first into a chakra scan then a scan through the body focusing on reflection, gratitude and well-wishing. -
Embodied Presence: So What About the Chakras?
This talk explores how to investigate the inner energy centers through the lens of mindfulness.
You’ll learn about the chakras, a bit on the origins of different approaches, the components of each one and how to explore through the lens of non-judging awareness. -
Embodied Presence: Surfing the Waves
This talk explores how to work with challenging energies.
You’ll learn how embodied awareness can open the door to higher degrees of self awareness and how in that recognition of what is arising you can learn to ‘ride the wave’ of resistance and discover what is on the other side. -
Embodied Presence: Whole Body Breathing and Subtle Energy Awareness
This talk explores how to open to more subtle felt-sense awareness through mindful breathing.
Whole Body Breathing is yet another tool for drawing attention to the play of energy and sensations within and can dramatically heighten awareness of what is arising and how you are relating to it.
This talk includes a guided meditation on this technique.
