Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ayala Gill – Week of 03 February, 2025

Ayala Gill

We’re delighted to have Ayala Gill leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they bring depth and joy to your practice.

This week’s theme is: From Suffering To Love

Suffering is a messenger inviting us to include more of this moment with love. Rather than fussing, numbing and fixing, we pause in the midst of reactivity to breathe, come into the body, unhook from stories and feel emotions with love. This allows us to respond to life from love. Suffering returns us to love by showing us what we leave out of its limitless embrace.

Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.

  3. Thank you for your support. While listening to the “receive” session, I had a release of tears, with grief, doubt, and a strong desire for continuing protectiveness. Thank you for saying to not de-value our feelings, to hold them in an ocean of love. Your invitation to the imaginal field resonated within me and brought up resistance, which is the grist for deeper understanding.

  4. Thank you for sharing this Leslie. We will continue to develop the themes that we explored in “Receive” and “Envision” in my Sunday Sangha session on March 16th: “Sangha: You Are Not Alone!” I hope you’re able to join us.

    Depth of Spiritual Practice – Even in a Chaotic World

    Recorded : November 3, 2019

    “Practicing systematically, taking the time to go into deep practice and making it the number one priority, leads to a state where the mind is very still and malleable and can investigate.” – Nikki Mirghafori As the human race’s daily living pace continues to speed up and an increasing sense of insecurity and doubt arise…

    Natural awareness: practicing in daily life.

    Recorded : July 10, 2016

    Meditation is often viewed as something restricted to a certain posture or time of day. For most of us, the majority of our life will not be on retreat or even spent in a formal sitting posture. If we want to make best use of our daily life, it’s important to know that being aware…

    The Power of Surrender

    Recorded : June 18, 2023

    The spiritual path requires our surrender – again and again. We surrender story, striving, preoccupation, and the illusion of separate self. We surrender all that is not Love. How do we remember the power of surrender alongside resistance? How do we recognize the emergent ground of Trust while navigating the unknown? How can the liminality…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Jaya Rudgard – Week of May 31, 2021

    This week’s topic is “Rediscovering Simplicity: Renunciation and the Art of Letting Go”. Renunciation is one of the ten paramis or ‘spiritual perfections’ considered most conducive to happiness and wellbeing, and yet we tend to understand it in ways that are not helpful. How in the age of peak stuff and peak busyness can we recover the wisdom of “less is more” in a way that re-energises us, lightens our burdens and helps us rediscover creativity and flow? This week we’ll look at this question from different angles with some suggestions for taking the exploration from our morning practice into the activities of our day.
