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.

 

Fear and Memory

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

Knowing the emptiness of fear.

February 16, 2024

Christopher has transcribed the questions that were left unanswered along this week in his blog page. You can read them here.

In this week of Daily Meditations, you are invited to join Miles in an exploration into how our inner conflicts mirror our relational conflicts, and how our relational conflicts mirror the conflicts we see in the world. You will learn how your practice evolving on the cushion is the same process for healing conflicts in the world.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of June 7, 2021

    This week’s theme is: Mudita – Celebrating Aliveness. Our hearts possess infinite capacities: they can express friendship in the most surprising circumstances and turn with tenderness and care to those who suffer. But aside from kindness and compassion, there is also the potential for deep appreciation, ease, delight and joy within us. While such perspectives are always available, the access might be blocked by voices of doubt, shame or negativity. In the upcoming weekly sessions, we strengthen our capacity to find nourishing perspectives and to rejoice in the beauty within and around us with the help of guided meditations and practices for everyday life.

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

    We are delighted to have Jaya Rudgard leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they bring nourishment to your practice.

    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.

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