    Meditation: Embodying Loving Awareness (19:39 min.)

    Love is often abstract, and not fully alive. In this practice, with the supportive image and felt sense of a smile, we are guided to awaken loving in our body, mind and whole being.

    Becoming Bodhisattvas in a Troubled World

    Thich Nhat Hanh said “no mud, no lotus.”  How might anger, hatred and delusion—the mud of these times-- give rise to a growing compassion and wisdom in our world?  In this talk we look directly at the angst surrounding the US elections, and explore several powerful teachings and practices that can serve as the catalyst for profound transformation, an evolving of wisdom and love, in our collective consciousness.

    Cultivating a Courageous Heart - Part 2

    Meditation: Living Loving Awareness (20 min.)

    By bringing our full attention to the aliveness in the body, we can open to the experience of interior space and the space that includes all sensations and sounds. This then allows us to perceive continuous space filled with the light of awareness. This meditation attunes us to these dimensions of awareness: continuous open space, heart space and full aliveness. We end with a Zen poem that invites us to rest in this living, loving awareness, and know it as home.

  7. Meditation: Relaxing Back into Awareness (20:12 min.)

    24 OCT

    Meditation: Relaxing Back into Awareness (20:12 min.)

    When we fully inhabit our body, we discover the space and wakefulness of awareness itself. In this meditation, we rest in this open awareness, and when the attention narrows into thoughts, we practice relaxing back into the openness that includes passing sounds, sensations and feelings. We close with a brief offering of lovingkindness to our own hearts and our world (with community OMs - no bell at end).

  8. Freedom Beyond the Trance of Self

    18 OCT

    Freedom Beyond the Trance of Self

    The gift of meditation is awakening to the vast, radiant ever-creative beingness that is beyond the confines of a constricting self-sense. This talk explores how awake awareness can directly meet the clench of selfing - the thoughts, emotional tensions and core self-sense. When this occurs there’s a spontaneous releasing into the full love, wakefulness and aliveness of our being.
