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.
