Daily Meditation Recordings, with Christopher Titmuss – Week of 09 December, 2024

Christopher Titmuss

We’re delighted to have Christopher Titmuss guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they support and deepen your practice.

This week’s theme is: Liberation Of The Heart

Join Christopher Titmuss for a week exploring the Brahma Viharas – the Immeasurable Ways of Being.

The Brahma Viharas, traditionally known as Divine Abidings, point to something boundless in our human experience. While Brahma literally means “God,” its deeper root meaning is “Immeasurable.” The Buddha taught four specific ways to dwell in this immeasurable space: through radical love, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity.

Over five morning sessions, Christopher will offer an overview of these teachings and explore each of these profound ways of abiding. By radical, we mean getting to the very root of what matters most.

Whether you come with an open heart or a closed one, whether you’re new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner – all are welcome to join these transformative sessions.

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

Abiding with God/Abiding with the Immeasurable.

Discussion

One thought on “Daily Meditation Recordings, with Christopher Titmuss – Week of 09 December, 2024”

  1. I very much appreciate Christopher’s guided meditations and teachings. I think I have a tendency of trying to be precise with meditation instructions and consequently get constricted. This did not occur with these guided meditations. I experienced a taste of the stillness.

    The Roots of Discouragement

    Recorded : September 12, 2021

    Progress in meditation may be slower than we anticipate. Discouragement develops when the comparing mind holds unrealistic expectations, demands perfection, and craves for measurable progress, predictable results, or signposts of success. This talk explores the obstacle of discouragement and its roots in conceit and the comparing mind. To prevent discouragement, we develop skillful ways to…

    Gladness of the Wholesome: The Buddha’s Teaching on Awakening Joy

    Recorded : January 15, 2023

    The Buddha was known as The Happy One. Though Joy is one of the Seven Factors of Awakening, with so much emphasis on working with suffering, joy can sometimes seem frivolous or unspiritual. His teaching on attending to the ‘Gladness Connected with the Wholesome’ is a key aspect of Wise Effort and developing a loving heart. We will practice and explore together this foundation for awakening joy.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nirmala Werner – Week of Jan 23 – 27, 2023

    This week’s theme is “5 Doorways to Love”. What hinders our love? Where are we blocked? Desire, anger, dullness, restlessness and doubt are the so-called 5 hindrances: qualities in the mind which obstruct mindfulness and love. At the same time, when we approach them wisely, they can serve as a beautiful guide towards liberation. During this week we will explore the treasures of these qualities for our meditation and our daily life.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of Jan 16, 2023

    This week’s theme is “Change, Loss and Dying: Meeting the Common Denominator”. When we come in touch with the fragility of our existence, it is only natural that fear or sadness might well up. The constant inward and outward change contrasts with our lack of control. To experience change, loss and death, is a substantial challenge for all of us. The Buddha did not shy away from these common human denominators, but offered perspectives and practices which allow us to meet them with compassion, while enabling the heart to rest in love and peacefulness.
