Guided Body Scan Meditation – 35 min.

Today’s guided body scan meditation is medium-length, definitely enough to sink very deeply into awareness of the body. This is one of the fundamental practices of meditation, because it sensitizes us in a way that helps any other kind of meditation we do. Mindfulness of the body helps us come out of excessive thinking, deal with moods and emotions, and expand the range of our awareness of sensation ranging from pain to the most subtle sensations. This flexibility is of utmost importance to the curious and inquiring meditator, and sensitizing the attention to the subtlety is of immense importance down the road.

10 Minute Breath Meditation

This 10 Minute Guided Mediation on the Breath gets us directly in touch with our feeling presence and resets the day, readies us for the day, or prepares us for night.

Talk 1: Should I Use a Natural or a Pleasant Breath?

There is more to breath meditation than “Pay Attention to the Natural Breath.” This talk explores some of the ways to play with and experiment with the breath that are equally “mindful” as the more common instruction, and have surprising extra benefits. This talk goes with the last guided meditation and helps start the inquiry into our experience through breathing.

Guided Breath Meditation in a New Way

This Breath Meditation is much more effective and enjoyable than simply “paying attention to the breath.” Find out how much fun and fascination is possible with this mindful breathing meditation. Just follow along.

Be the Space of Thought

When we are assailed by thinking, it seems like thought is big and we are surrounded by thought, engulfed by thought. Or even when the mind is just plain noisy, this meditation helps really experience the smallness of thought and gives us a clear perspective on thinking. With this meditation on space and thinking, the big problem of thought, worry, stress, and monkey mind is put in its proper perspective, as a small thing that arises inside of a bigger space.

Episode 0: The Most Powerful Approach to Thinking and Meditation

Every meditator encounters the challenge of rampant thinking, and the stresses it sinks into the body and the many ways it colors our experience. Coming to clarity, however, does not mean to stop thinking. In our first audio podcast, I get the chance to introduce the heart of meditation and I look forward to many, many more times we can look into this together.
