Daily Meditation Recordings, with Sophie Boyer – Week of May 13, 2024

Sophie Boyer

Sophie Boyer

We’re fortunate that Sophie Boyer has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions for Europe and the UK. To find out more about Sophie, and to view her other contributions to Sangha Live, click here. Recordings will be posted by the end of the day of the live session.

 

Please note that, due to a technical issue, the video and audio in the Monday – Thursday recordings are not synced with each other. Unfortunately this cannot be corrected. You may prefer to listen to the sessions without watching the screen if this is distracting 😊.

 

This week’s topic is “Trust the Process“.

 

There is a natural space that is always available to us. A space before thoughts, before duality.

 

Every day there will be an opportunity to come back to this primary experience that is safe and complete. A space before the beginning.

 

This week let’s trust the process together.

    Practice and Prejudice: Waking up to our reality blinkers

    Recorded : January 6, 2019

    Martin writes: “Do you remember that Youtube video ‘Awareness test’ from a few years ago, where you’re asked to pay attention to one thing (passes made by the team in white) and you end up completely missing something else? (check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg6qcgoay4 – it only takes 30 seconds) We perceive reality in accordance with…

    Embracing the Radical Act of Rest

    Recorded : April 27, 2025

    In times of global challenges and uncertainty, we often respond with fear-driven action, guilt, or survival mode. Yet the simple act of resting offers a powerful path to liberation. By connecting with our bodies and trusting the ground beneath us, we cultivate ease that naturally supports the awakened mind. When we act from deep rest,…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ayala Gill – Week of December 11, 2023

    This week’s topic is “Embracing challenging emotions”. There are no negative emotions, only ones that we find challenging to embrace, like anxiety, anger, grief and fear. When we relate to them in distorted ways, their expression is indeed negative. Over this week (at a time of year where they may be particularly triggered!) we will explore how to come into a sacred relationship with each of these challenging emotions.

    The Supramundane Nature of Emptiness

    Recorded : September 15, 2024

    Emptiness can be a loaded word for lay practitioners. It can bring up a sense of isolation and annihilation. The dharma of emptiness, however, is a fundamental part of practice. Even in the most mundane tasks of our ordinary lives, we can access emptiness and feel the freedom that comes with it. It’s not about…

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of Oct 17, 2022

    This week’s topic is “A Peaceful Mind”. Thoughts are our continuous companions. While some are harmless, others have a deep impact on us: not only do they shape perceptions, but they also influence our physical and mental well-being. In our darkest hours, we might feel the pain of negative, depressing or restless thought patterns. Shaken by their invasive nature, we often wish for a rest from the never-ending chatter. We dedicate the upcoming week to an exploration into the realm of thoughts and skilful practice.
