Developing the Power of Heart and Mind

With Christopher Titmuss recorded on September 25, 2022.

Power matters when free from any corruption of mind, gross or subtle. We need to develop our power rather than feel powerless, indecisive or exploitive. Power emerges from unification of our whole being, focussing on a priority and sometimes engaging in a level of boldness. The Buddha referred to four areas to develop inner power – awareness, meditation, energy and reflection. This session addresses all four areas and their relationship.

A transcript of the guided meditation and dharma talk from this session can be found on Christopher’s website.

    Recorded : February 12, 2017

    It’s a pretty delicate task to find the right posture inside ourself in relation to the events that occur in our everyday life. Some are really desired and welcome; some are unexpected or disappointing. We gain things, we lose things and people, and good health comes and goes. On the one hand, everything we experience…

    Time and Timelessness: Finding Refuge, Finding Inspiration

    Recorded : October 30, 2022

    Certain moments, events and experiences open our awareness beyond the everyday to a sense of something more eternally present.

Contemplating life from such a perspective we can often find fresh resources of…

    Not-other: knowing our solidarity with all beings.

    Recorded : April 30, 2017

    Dharma teachings point at the way our experience is not-self. This also means that everyone else is not-other.
