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.

  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.

  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Jaya Rudgard – Week of 07 April, 2025

    This week’s theme is: Dharma Here and Now: The Art of Being Present

    As meditators we aspire to being awake to life. We know that this life with its gifts, challenges and opportunities, only ever happens NOW, yet this NOW often eludes us. This week we’ll investigate what helps and hinders our fully inhabiting the moments of our day, and what possibilities might emerge when we do so.

  • Practice as a Way of Remembrance

    Many are referring to this time as apocalyptic. Fair enough. It can seem as though everywhere we turn a dismantling of some sort is in the works. While we might intellectually feel able to embrace the change upon us, for many it can be easy to fall into overwhelm, hopelessness, even despair. What do the…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of June 3, 2024

    This week’s topic is “Letting Go, Cultivating Deep Peace”. The Buddha’s teachings offer a profoundly pragmatic, compassionate and wise response to the human condition. During this week we will explore the art of pausing, looking deeply into our own lived experience and letting go of clinging, as foundations for developing a peaceful heart. This supports the possibilities for both our own well-being, as well as peace in the external world.
