Daily Meditation Recordings with Christopher Titmuss- Week of February 12, 2024

Christopher Titmuss

We’re fortunate that Christopher Titmuss has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions for Europe and the UK. To find out more about Christopher, and to view his other contributions to Sangha Live, click here.

 

This week’s topic is “Fear is Not What You Think It Is”

 

Why can’t we always overcome fear by being bold? The mind sees fear as feelings, emotions and sensations. Such experiences do not confirm fear.
Experts tell us we cannot live without fear as we need fear to protect us. Dharma teachings remind us we cannot truly live with fear.

February 12, 2024

Unfortunately Christopher was unable to teach a live session on this day, but he has kindly recorded us an audio teaching instead which is posted here.

(In the introduction Christopher refers to ‘Freedom is not what you think’; his intention was to say ‘Fear is not what you think’ 🙂.)

Fear means contraction, not challenging body sensations

February 13, 2024

Social fear. Fear of disapproval. Fear of speaking up.

February 14, 2024

Recognising of the expansive. Dissolving the contracted.

February 15, 2024

February 16, 2024

    Not Knowing as an Active Practice

    Recorded : April 18, 2021

    We sometimes think of not knowing as something negative, but is it really? Truly not-knowing allows spaciousness, openness, and much greater intimacy. When we make not-knowing an intentional action, the barriers that hold us back from true intimacy begin to dissolve, offering much deeper connection with each other, and with the entire universe.

    The Procurement of Kindness and Sanity

    Recorded : April 26, 2020
