Mindfulness Meditation is not a thing — it is an activity of doing. It is a key to an eight faceted practice capable of freeing us from discontent. Being mindful is being deeper than the ocean, stronger than practiced aversion, quicker than chronic bad habits, and easier than pie!

    In a very real way, instrusive sounds are gifts when practicing! Hear it and practice being with the conditions you can't control. This dosn't mean you don't at times wisely adjust conditions, like turn down the AC when it not needed etc.

    M#282 Extremely

    Hot enough for you? Cold enough? Is it now enough for you!? What is the story and what is the reality? Practicing with extremes requires you to notice them first, last and always. Put another way be actively mindful. Being with the sensation of extreme heat is a relatively easy practice, object, to be with. Recognizing when pain has been approached and adjusting is the wise thing to do. Often a simple adjustment is part of the practice not the end. Note: this recording has more wind buffeting noise than usual so adjusting your bass or volume is recommended.

    Practice where you actually are. Understand you will have to adjust your expectations to match your likely conditions, quickly and openly to maintain the relaxed and awake quality of being. It's good to practice in relatively novel spaces.

    M#280 Paradox Clapping

    It has been a busy spring, this longish episode does some catching up! Its not a riddle! Not a puzzle! Sometimes a question but without a logical, linear sort of answer. The more you wisely practice, the more you wake uP.

    Practice in your car. No waiting. No shopping. For real, all the sounds and sights and barks are a part of the mindfulness.

Very insightful.

Very nice information on the history of Buddhism. Also offers teachings and meditations.

Clear, Original, Authentic

Deep understanding presented in a straightforward way from host and teacher Paul M. Cheevers. An original take on the historical Buddha for sure, steeped in Vipassana knowledge, personal experience with meditation, teaching, and what's currently going on in our lives (including pop culture). And fun! The serialized radio Dharma drama fiction "Hot Zombies Cool Buddhas" is like a sci-fi farm / cyborg / noir / meditation thing. Fun!
