Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of Feb 27, 2023

Ulla Koenig

📌 Due to tech issues on the day of the livestream, there is unfortunately no recording for the session held on Thursday March 2nd.

 

This week’s theme is “Samadhi – Doors of Harmony”

 

The Buddha encouraged us to nourish, calm, gladden and liberate our heart-mind (citta). To know ways to inner harmony, stillness and contentment independently of outer circumstances is a precious resource. It contributes to resilience, allows steadiness in challenging situations with others and brings confidence into our lives. Yet the path towards samadhi can be easily misunderstood and contribute to more pressure and self-doubt. We dedicate this week to exploring kind and nourishing ways to practice.

    The Sacred No: Setting Conscious Boundaries Alongside Boundlessness

    Recorded : February 15, 2026

    To truly embody our Yes to life, we must equally honor our No. Liberating our minds and hearts and taking responsibility for our contribution to collective consciousness requires setting loving boundaries around authentic being.
