Daily Meditation Recordings with Christopher Titmuss- Week of June 10, 2024

This week’s topic is “Letting Go. An Act of the Will?”

 

We pick up a hot coal in the morning from the wood burner.

Ouch, we let go immediately. No thought. No desire. Instant letting go.

The language of letting go has entered into the mind of the meditator.

It is often not a solution but an ambitious state of mind.

Letting go reveals an outcome of understanding.

We can tell ourselves a 1000 times we should let go and it’s to no avail.

The desire to let go shows we are not ready to let go.

We will explore the preparation for letting go and wise responses employing at times letting go.

 

What are we holding on to?

  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of July 11, 2022

    This week’s topic is Mindfulness in Daily Life. Trying to practice mindfulness in the busyness of our daily lives can leave us confused or frustrated. We know the potential benefits of such a practice, but the different pace, sensory input and constant activity make it challenging to remember to practice, let alone develop a continuous sense of presence. In this week, we explore hands-on sustainable practices with fresh perspectives, free from idealistic expectations or guilt.

    Daily Meditation Recordings with Christopher Titmuss- Week of September 9, 2024

    This week’s topic is “The Changeless. Knock, knock on Heaven’s Door”. Conventional human experience reveals the subject and the object. The object includes, mind/body/things/world/time/space and here and now. All of these are subject to change. The subject includes consciousness, perception, awareness, attention, mindfulness, I and my. All subject to change. We might conclude true reality reveals change. Can realisation of the changeless make easy the navigation of change?

    Practice as a Way of Remembrance

    Recorded : October 18, 2020

    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…
