Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of January 22, 2024

Zohar Lavie

Zohar Lavie

We’re fortunate that Zohar Lavie has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions this week. To find out more about Zohar, 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.

 

This week’s topic is “Liberating Care: A Path of Kindness, Compassion and Well-being”

 

The Buddha recommended radiating goodwill to all beings. This requires us to deepen our connection and sensitively empathise with everyone. Which immediately invites well-being to our whole being. When a well-nourished heart encounters suffering, compassion blossoms. And this journey of awakening begins to liberate pain, born of separation, into interwoven joy.

  • Daily Meditation Recordings, with Ulla Koenig – Week of 13 October, 2025

    We’re delighted to have Ulla Koenig guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May these gatherings enrich your practice.

    This week’s theme is: Metta in Action

    To be met with metta is to be received with basic respect and a sense of intrinsic worth-simply because we exist. It’s not something we earn or measure; it’s a fundamental recognition of our being. This week, we explore how to extend such warmth toward ourselves. And we’ll look at how metta supports accountability, nurtures integrity, and helps us respond to criticism with clarity and compassion-opening the door to deeper self-understanding and genuine growth.
