Miles Kessler

Miles Kessler

We’re grateful to have Miles Kessler leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May they support and enrich your practice.

 

This week’s theme is: Practicing Insight In Daily Life

 

The practice of mindfulness meditation automatically triggers off a series of developmental insights that gradually develop over time. But how do these “insights” appear in your daily life? In this week of daily meditation practice, Miles Kessler will lead you through an exploration of how the path of insight meditation unfolds on the cushion, but also in your daily life.

    Recorded : December 6, 2020

    To care for our lives, the lives of all beings and the earth is all at the heart of what it means to be a human being. Yet, speculating about the future, and tensing up in fearful anticipation of days to come, are not skillful expressions of care and wisdom. There is a better way….
