Donald Rothberg
Through reflection on just having taught a month-long retreat and several poems, we explore a number of ways to deepen our formal meditation practice through simplicity, focus, building a strong "container", developing mindfulness and lovingkindness in relation to what happens, and increased invocation of the "wise parent" (or grandparent...aka "discipline").

2010-03-02 Satipatthana Sutta, Introduction: Wise Effort 56:41
Rodney Smith
It is important to learn the meditation technique, but to adhere too strictly to the form of the practice can mask self-doubt. Risking doing it wrong begins the "art" of practice, and insight develops within the art of quiet observation free from the pressure of failure.

2010-02-02 Guided Meditation on the Four Elements 39:30
Bob Stahl
The meditation on the four primary elements supports one to penetrate beyond the normal level of conceptual labels and categories.
