The Safe Harbor of Moment to Moment Awareness [5.22.24]
Today we continue to look at how re-anchoring in moment to moment awareness is a powerful practice in finding a better way to navigate any day. This talk draws from Tara Brach’s practice of Four Remembrances: Pausing, Yes to Life, Turning toward love, and Resting in Awareness.

Sitting Meditation- Four Remembrances [5.22.24]
This meditation draws from Tara Brach, teaching on four remembrances for practice:
Pausing, saying yes to life, turning towards love, resting in awareness.
What It Is
It is nonsense
says reason
It is what it is
says love
It is calamity
says calculation
It is nothing but pain
says fear
It is hopeless
says insight
It is what it is
says love
It is ludicrous
says pride
It is foolish
says caution
It is impossible
says experience
It is what it is
says love

Seven Mantras of Love Part 2 [5.8.24]
We were grateful this week to have David Viafora and Jessie Raye from Greatwoods Zen Retreat Center guest lead again this week. Unfortunately we were not able to record their first visit, but this week's sharing works fine as a stand alone. They shared from Thich Nhat Hanh's teaching called the Seven Mantras of Love. These are:
Darling, I am here for you.
Darling, I know you are there and it makes me happy.
Darling, I know you suffer.
Darling, I suffer, please help.
This is a Happy Moment.
Darling, you are partly right.
Darling, how may I best love you?
Here is also a link to Thich Nhat Hanh sharing about six of these:
