Guided Meditations & Talks

Today’s meditation is a 30 minute vipassana practice. We’ll use the practice of noting to bring awareness to whatever is arising in our experience. The meditation starts with a few minutes of awareness of breathing, and we then open our awareness to the entirety of our experience.

Keeping the breath as the anchor, we sit in observation of whatever is arising and passing. This noting practice is inspired by the Mahasi Sayadaw method. It’s a bit gentler and less structured, but offers a helpful way to anchor in the breath while remaining open to other feelings, sounds, thoughts, etc.

Today’s episode is the first in a series of Mindfulness in Daily Life. As laypeople, we spend most of our days interacting with the world. Although meditation is a useful tool, we can also benefit from bringing our mindfulness practice off the cushion and into everyday life.

This first episode covers the simple idea of slowing down. The simple act of slowing down can make a significant difference in our ability to be mindful and present during the day. We’ll talk about why slowing down is important, why we rush through our days, and a few techniques you can use to be more mindful and deliberate with your actions.

Today’s meditation is a mindfulness practice in which we try to attend to experience gently. We so often over-effort or strain in our practice. Today, I encourage you to find some ease and gentleness with this meditation.
