Daily Meditation Recordings, with Miles Kessler – Week of 28 October, 2024
We’re grateful to have Miles Kessler leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they support and enrich your practice.
This week’s theme is: Practicing Insight In Daily Life
The practice of mindfulness meditation automatically triggers off a series of developmental insights that gradually develop over time. But how do these “insights” appear in your daily life? In this week of daily meditation practice, Miles Kessler will lead you through an exploration of how the path of insight meditation unfolds on the cushion, but also in your daily life. Join Miles in this week of daily meditations and integrating the “Practicing Insight In Daily Life”.

Including Diversity and Differences in the Space of Awareness
Recorded :

Yet our equanimity is developed through meeting the great range of our inner experiences, as well as staying steady in the cacophony of the marketplace.

We’re delighted to have Jaya Rudgard guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and deepen your practice.

The end of fear: conscious living, conscious dying.
Recorded :
March 19, 2017 Until we are free there is a fundamental fear of the spaciousness that is our true nature.

All fear is fear of death, fear based on our identification only with that which…

Letting go of fear; finding courage in the face of uncertainty.
Recorded :
March 5, 2017 Even though we know fear does not serve us, we often allow it to stop or limit us. We might not even be aware of the ways it drives us and makes us smaller than we are. Though we might think we can control life, there is little we can actually control. If we are…

Methodology, Ideology and Cosmology: Three Dimensions of a Full Spectrum Practice
Recorded :
October 11, 2020 Dharma practice is sometimes seen too reductively through a uniquely meditative lens. This class looks not only at what you practice (methodology) but also at why you practice (ideology) and at your understanding of the nature of reality; the way you make sense of the universe, of time and space, self and world, life and…
