Guided Meditations
Emptiness of the Body
We can experience the physical sensations of the body from many different levels. In this guided meditation we explore the experience of the body noticing the mental ideas and judgements we place on the body, experiencing the physical sensations directly and then opening to the subtle body sensations of bliss, aliveness and spaciousness. Experience the vastness of awareness through attention to this dynamic, lively body!
The Natural State
Our natural state of being is one of ease, rest, spaciousness, clarity and love. Take a five minute break and relax into the natural state, which is always available--when we stop identifying with thought processes. Let your mind be like the sky.
Great Tree Meditation
In this meditation we connect with the body as a great tree, rooted and reaching up towards the sky. An exploration of stillness / movement, stability / mobility, silence / sound, spaciousness / form. Find the tree as an ally, a teacher and a guide.
The Five Elements Meditation
An experiential exploration of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) and how they manifest within the body and environment. This meditation takes one into the nature of experience, experiencing the elements directly, we may come to see that thoughts, emotions, body sensations and the world all have elemental components. This insight can help us release attachment and aversion to the particular physical, emotional and mental states that we find ourselves in. This meditation also connects us to the natural world, it is healing to open to the deep intimacy inherent in nature.
