Meditation: Living Loving Awareness
19:59
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
By bringing our full attention to the aliveness in the body, we can open to the experience of interior space and the space that includes all sensations and sounds. This then allows us to perceive continuous space filled with the light of awareness. This meditation attunes us to these dimensions of awareness: continuous open space, heart space and full aliveness. We end with a Zen poem that invites us to rest in this living, loving awareness, and know it as home.

Liebe gibt dem Leben einen Sinn

Metta als grundlegende Haltung mit der wir Menschen und Erfahrungen begegnen wirkt erfüllend und heilsam. Zahlreiche Personen aus allen spirituellen Traditionen weisen darauf hin. Durch die Mettameditationspraxis lässt sich eine solche Haltung von grundlegendem Wohlwollen in uns verankern, die wir unabhängig von Launen, Reaktionen, Emotionen in uns bewahren können. So wird diese Haltung zu einer Kraft, mit der wir auch bei verletzenden Erfahrungen die Orientierung bewahren können.

Freedom Beyond the Trance of Self
58:15
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
The gift of meditation is awakening to the vast, radiant ever-creative beingness that is beyond the confines of a constricting self-sense. This talk explores how awake awareness can directly meet the clench of selfing – the thoughts, emotional tensions and core self-sense. When this occurs there’s a spontaneous releasing into the full love, wakefulness and aliveness of our being.

After guidance on the basics of our practice--developing stability and concentration, and cultivating mindfulness--and a period of silent practice, there is additional guidance, related to the later dharma talk, on noticing any experiences of reactivity and on exploring moderate or greater experiences of pleasant or unpleasant.

Meditation: Disarming Our Hearts
10:53
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Most of us know the suffering of feeling separate from others. In this guided meditation, we explore how we can re-open our hearts by intentionally bringing a caring mindful presence to our own vulnerability, and then extending that presence to include others. When inhabiting that presence, we are able to respond to relational conflict and distance with a growing creativity and love.

Like an Instrument with Sarah Marie Hopf

How might you let Life play you like an instrument? In this talk James shares the evening with Sarah-Marie Hopf, a good friend, dedicated practitioner, coach and meditation teacher who shares about her journey of progressively deepening trust in the dharma and our True Nature and opening to what wants to flow effortlessly from the mystery into form. Becoming an unexpected singer-songwriter, she shares the origin story of her first album “Modern Mantras” which was inspired by songs that came through her spontaneously during a month long Spirit Rock retreat.

Meditation: Collecting, Unifying and Opening the Mind
25:05
|
|
Tara Brach
|
|
|
Collecting, unifying and opening the mind, we begin with a listening attention, noticing sounds that are here. Relaxing open and letting sounds wash through. With the same receptivity to sounds, listen to and feel the aliveness of the body. Listening to the breath as if you’re listening to the voice of a quiet loved one – really close in, tender attention – and including the background sounds. Not pushing away anything – a very open and relaxed, receptive attention.
