2007-02-16 Mindfulness And Transformation Of Emotional States 1:15:39
Marcia Rose
The Buddha offers us a recipe for cultivating a strong and clear mindful attention that's grounded in kindness and patience that meets the experience of the moment and sees it clearly, just as it is. We can learn to experience afflictive emotions without getting caught up or swept away and overcome by them. It's as though we learn to see them so clearly, that we see through them, just like we see through the colors of a rainbow.

2007-02-10 The Body In The Body-The First Domain Of Mindfulness 63:40
Marcia Rose
Paying attention...a non-judgemental, non-manipulative, non-grasping, non-rejecting, kind of attention to the body in the body...just the body as such...not one's feeling, ideas, concerns, or interpretations about it. How do we know the body? How are we established in this first domain of mindfulness? Are you looking in the right place and in the right way for the happiness that you are seeking?

2006-07-13 Guided Meditation - Opening To The Sense Of 'other' 21:04
Ajahn Sucitto
The tendency is to conceive ourselves as being a separate entity; yet, we’re always in something. There is something around us without which we wouldn’t survive. Practice sensing into the ‘us-ness’, the sense of me and something else. Mindfulness of body and breathing support this practice.

Ajahn Sucitto
Over time we experience of the limitations of body and mind. What we rely on doesn’t actually work. Life is a failure, but we can make it a glorious failure. The practice of Dhamma-Vinaya helps keep the spirit bright and impeccable in what we do. Dhamma means to establish ethical clarity, mindfulness, lovingkindness; Vinaya is bringing these ideals and aspirations forth into a living context.
