Daily Meditation Recordings, with Zohar Lavie – Week of July 17, 2023

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 “Deepening and Developing Unconditional Friendliness”

 

Metta, translated as unconditional friendliness, is a powerful and transformative attitude. When we relate to ourselves, others and experience with metta, reactivity and ill being dissolve and wisdom and wellbeing grow. During this week of practice we will deepen the practice and application of metta, as well as the understanding of how it impacts experience.

    Recorded : June 26, 2016

    How often does it seem that the master of your life is the conditioned mind? To what degree does this mind of limitation color your experience?
