2021-04-12 Meditation: Joy (Mudita) | Monday Night 29:23
Jack Kornfield
Let yourself think of someone you care about. Picture them, remember them, see them in your mind's eye or hold them in your heart. Imagine their happiest moment as a child. Then begin to wish them well: "May you be joyful. May you remember that child of spirit that was born in you. May your joy increase. May the causes for happiness and joy grow stronger in your life." Then imagine this person wishing the same for you.

Nikki Mirghafori

2021-04-08 Guided Meditation: Life as A Dream 44:34
Nikki Mirghafori
In this guided meditation, we explore emptiness as a way of seeing the dreamlike nature of what we assume to be our fixed reality.

2021-04-07 Meditation: Relaxing into Living Presence 23:39
Tara Brach
This meditation guides us to awaken to sensation using the image of a smile and scanning through the body. We then open to sound and to the entire changing flow of experience. When we connect with the changing flow of sensations, feelings and sounds, we also discover the formless awareness that is our Source… and home. We end with a prayer that includes our own being and all beings.

2021-03-31 Meditation: Relaxing Back into Presence 11:55
Tara Brach
When we are stressed, our body and mind contract, and energetically we resist the life in the present moment. This meditation helps de-condition the stress reaction by guiding us to relax open from thoughts, relax physical tension, and gently relax back over and over into living presence.
