2021-08-23 Loving Witness 45:27
Jack Kornfield
In any moment you can become the loving witness—it’s why we sit in meditation. We learn to sit with both heartbreak and love—with whatever arises. We become the loving witness of it all. What channel do you turn to amidst the joy and sorrows? With mindful loving awareness we can see it all anew. When we see with amazement, with loving awareness, we also see with the heart. As Mary Oliver writes: “And therefore I look upon everything as a brotherhood and a sisterhood…. and I think of each life as a flower, as common as a field daisy, and as singular…. and each body a lion of courage, and something precious to the earth. When it’s over, I want to say all my life I was a bride married to amazement….”

2021-08-23 The Energy of Release 55:15
Ajahn Sucitto
Unless you find your stable ground, you’re not equipped to deal with your problems. The fundamental reaction to problems will be ill will – resentment, fear, blaming, guilt. Withdraw energy from the world of mind and come back into presence. There’s a sense of inner spaciousness, an energy of releasing, softening, letting go. It’s like a return. This is how we purify our own hearts.

2021-08-22 Exploring Meditation as a Gateway to Transcendent Awareness, Part 1 50:56
Rodney Smith
Exploring the beginning instructions reveals both the fullness of a “self, trying,” and the emptiness of a “self, in surrender.” Our world view changes according to which we pursue.
