Daily Meditation Recordings, with Christopher Titmuss – Week of 02 February, 2026
This week’s theme is: Release First. If Not, Then Explore Renewal.
Release means liberation, such as person released from prison. Confinement to problemetic history has finally come to an end. Our being knows a full engagement with life. With release, renewal comes naturally, such as entering deep sleep and waking up with renewed energy. Practice includes exploration of renewal while a transcendent view gives primary interest to release.

Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of 03 March, 2025
We’re delighted to have Nathan Glyde guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they support and enrich your practice.
This week’s theme is: It’s Like This, Right Now
Acceptance must be applied wisely to lead to liberating awakening. We accept “it’s like this, right now”, but we don’t stop there. We also acknowledge that “this” is subject to changeable conditions, and we accept the opportunity to contribute to freedom.

Nothing is reliable outside liberation.
Recorded :
May 8, 2016 Practice places emphasis on seeing impermanence. Such a practice easily becomes habitual to the degree we miss the point. There is nothing reliable owing to impermanence. There is nothing we can depend upon in this world of mentality and materiality, inner and outer. If we abide deeply clear about this, the stress and fears fade…
