We begin with guidance to develop samadhi (concentration). About mid-way through, we move to mindfulness practice, cultivating insight, and then to two important areas of liberating insight--insight into impermanence and insight into reactivity (the most fundamental meaning of dukkha).
Guided meditation (following Chi Gong practice) beginning at the root chakra paired with mindfulness, traveling up through the chakras and awakening factors for visualization and investigation.
After establishing mindfulness and scanning through the body, this guided meditation addresses the 5 hindrances and describes a natural progression through the 7 Factors of Awakening.
Based on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, this talk explores our relationship with the body, feelings, mind and Dhamma - to untangle the tangle of suffering.
We may think some experiences are better than others to support awakening, but the Buddha said otherwise. This talk explores the liberative quality of mindfulness and the implications of this understanding.
