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 Milla Gregor – Week of September 4, 2023

    This week’s theme is “Which comes first, your practice or your life?” Does your life support your practice, or your practice your life? For me, things have been shifting recently, leaving me with lots to contemplate, particularly around the overlap between practice and systemic change. I’ll share some ideas and embodied relational techniques for working at these interesting edges, whilst giving you lots of open quiet meditation time, over our five mornings together.

    The Dharma on the front lines: how to work with conflict.

    Recorded : February 26, 2017

    Peace sometimes feels impossible to find. It is there for a while then something happens and conflict or friction returns.

Often we can feel despaired that despite much dharma practice and meditation, conflict keeps…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ayala Gill – Week of June 26, 2023

    This week’s topic is “Living in Sacredness”. Meditation is more than a practice of being present. The way in which we are present determines whether we reinforce habits of separation, or re-weave the fabric of sacredness. During this week we will explore the sacredness of body, breath, consciousness, emotions and beliefs. Returned to the embrace of sacredness, we plant seeds of Love in a world of separation.

    Is there compassion for the self? Go deep. Is compassion the end of self?

    Recorded : May 23, 2021

    The Dharma flies with two wings – compassion and wisdom. Compassion emerges from a liberated wisdom. That happens when constructs in the mind lose their significance. The emptiness of self and the emptiness of dependency on feeling tones take priority. This talk also explores the contraction of compassion into self interest. The liberation of compassion…

    Wide Dharma, wide path.

    Recorded : November 13, 2016

    Many of us long to experience the Buddhist path in all of our lives, but really only feel its aliveness when we meditate. There’s an incompleteness, a gap, when it comes to our everyday activities and our relationships, where we catch only a whiff of the truths of suffering and the Path. But when we…
