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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

    What do we call reality? How can we free ourselves from conditioned vision and taste life more fully and truly? Acknowledging that our perception of what we call reality is completely subjective, Christine explores the world of perception to find out what is conditioning our vision. Each one of us has been often surprised, deceived…

    The Wisdom of the Body

    While we might think of the body as flesh and blood, there is so much more to this mortal coil. The body in fact may be our deepest teacher. In this session, we explore how to listen to the wisdom of the body and realize its potential to guide us to groundedness, self-honesty, presence and wisdom.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nathan Glyde – Week of May 23, 2022

    This week’s topic is An Enigma Inside A Mystery. We typically freeze in amazement or feverishly search for causes when we suffer dukkha (life’s tension). We’ve probably all experienced how these reactions exacerbate the problem. The Buddha taught that dukkha is a puzzle that can be solved: it doesn’t have to be a mystery. We can learn the resolution that brings us from bewilderment to marvellous release by paying quiet attention to the pattern of the difficulty.
