Nathan Glyde

A commentary and practice on the Five Daily Recollections or Remembrances. Here phrased by Caroline Jones: Breathing gently, I lovingly remember…
this body is ageing;
this body is vulnerable to illness;
this body will die;
loss is part of life;
to meet this moment with wisdom. This session includes a guided practice, Dharma reflection, and the answers to (unrecorded) questions from participants.

Meditation: A Present Heart
16:38
|
Tara Brach
|
|
One translation of mindfulness, in Chinese, is “present heart.” In this guided meditation we begin by awakening through the body and the senses, and then open the attention to the changing flow of experience. The intention is to meet whatever arises with a wakeful and kind presence.
It’s so helpful to say, “What’s happening inside me right now?” Then, “Can I meet this with kindness, with a present heart?”

Beware: Strong Currents
1:24:18
|
Nathan Glyde
|
|
An exploration of the āsava teaching: our tendencies or karmic propensities of seeking happiness in sensual pleasures, in becoming, in ignorance, and in views. When we expect them, we are better served to defy them. Includes a guided meditation, refection, and responses to (unrecorded) questions. From the Gaia House Online Dharma Hall.

Meditation: Letting Go of Doing
21:17
|
Tara Brach
|
|
Meditation becomes truly freeing in the moments when there is no controlling whatsoever; when nothing is resisted or grasped after. This guided meditation begins with a simple body scan, relaxing and awakening to sensations in the body and then including the play of sound.
We then let go of any doing, and simply notice and allow the changing flow of experience, letting life be just as it is. In this pure allowing presence we become aware of the background silence that is listening. The invitation is to relax and be the awareness that is conscious of all that is unfolding.

Guided Meditation Exploring the Judgmental Mind
37:15
|
Donald Rothberg
|
|
After a period of settling and general mindfulness practice, we invite noticing and being with any expressions of the judgmental mind (here called "judgments") if they occur. In the second part of the guided meditation, there is also a more direct investigation of a selected judgment, exploring it at the levels of body, emotions, and thought, and seeing whether any underlying painful or difficult experience can be noticed. We close with a brief three-part self-compassion practice (from Kristin Neff).
