This week’s topic is “Being Body“.

 

The body is an area where joy and pleasure can be experienced. At the same time, it will also let us down. There is no doubt about it. Given this paradox, can we learn to develop a relationship that dissolves and decreases our suffering related to the body?

This week we will explore the different possibilities the Buddha outlined for seeing “the body as the body”, rather than seeing the self in the body. To experience a body at peace with itself.

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of 02 December, 2024

    We are grateful to have Ulla Koenig leading our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these sessions support and deepen your practice.

    This week’s theme is: Soothing the Grieving Heart

    As human beings we have the privilege to consciously experience many beautiful and joyful things. And we are constantly in touch with the changeability of nature, relationships, our body, hearts, self and much more. Without knowing how to accommodate the naturally arising sadness, change and loss can be easily overwhelming. We will dedicate this week in the darkest time of the year, to open up a compassionate space to explore skillful grieving.

    Meditating and speaking: simultaneously practicing Sila, Samadhi and Panna

    Recorded : February 11, 2018

    The communicative loop of listening and speaking forms a powerful karmic workshop. Language taps into our karmic archive, sankhara. It reaches other people and, if they are listening, there is mind-to-mind contact.
