Guided Meditations
This meditation series is working with meeting the space of our sitting practice as a vast landscape. We have hiked through trees and brush, climbed over rocks and past animals, and we come across this opening, where suddenly the whole landscape is in view. This is where we situate ourselves in our sitting practice. Rather than fixating on one tree, one thought, one sensation, we allow the landscape to be alive and ourselves to be grounded and steady, taking it all in at once.
In meditation, the breath reminds us of the whole. In this 20-minute guided meditation, we situate ourselves inside of our breathing body, releasing tension, finding attention, and giving ourselves an embodied sense of being in the vast inner landscape.
Continuing on in this series, this 20-minute meditation guides us into feeling the attention and the breath as one thing. We work with thoughts and sensations coming and going, allowing ourselves to return the breath in the spaces between and find peace with the coming-and-going nature of the mind.
Continuing with our grounding in the landscape of the body, this 20-minute meditation brings our attention to our relationship with the senses, and how opening around the input we are receiving can build steadiness and ease in our practice.
A meditation for when things are hard. A meditation for overwhelm. A meditation to connect to what is present, and to notice the feelings beneath the way the mind recreates the past and designs the future. Utilizing labeling practice, this 15-minute meditation will help you find your place, exactly where you are.
