2023-07-19 Meditation: Relaxing Back into Presence 11:34
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.

The Buddha taught that mindfulness is the way to go beyond habits of distraction and grasping.

2023-07-13 Guided Meditation: Images and the Energy Body 24:23
Victor von der Heyde
This meditation uses any personal images people might have from considering what might constitute a beautiful life for them, and considering Naikan questions (in this case what one has received from the world, what one has given, what problems or difficulties one thinks one has caused), and tuning in to the impact these images have on the energy body. The later part of the meditation focusses on putting images aside. It’s partly a practice to develop appreciation, to see the felt impact of one’s actions, and partly - towards the end - an exercise in letting go of images.
