Daily Meditation Recordings, with Jaya Rudgard – Week of 21 April, 2025

Jaya Rudgard

We’re delighted to have Jaya Rudgard guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and deepen your practice.

This week’s theme is: Still Here, Still Now: Waking Up to Life

As we develop our ability to remain present to experience our insight into the nature of that experience deepens. We’ll continue to explore this week how mindfulness can lead not just to less stress here and now but to the kind of seeing that will eventually free the heart-mind from all its self-created suffering.

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