A different way

With your eyes closed, sense yourself seated here in the reality of the present, just now—be here now, in this moment. Feel a connection to the ground beneath you—you're held to Mother Earth by gravity. Feel the steadiness, groundedness of taking this seat half way between Heaven and Earth, under your own tree of enlightenment. Let the heart be soft to receive whatever arises in the spirit of kindness and compassion.

The Reality Of The Present Meditation—Jack Kornfield

Some of you may have your own way of practicing metta/lovingkindess meditation. Others may want to listen and follow along—but it's not a rigid practice. Do whatever most naturally opens the heart. For some people, the recitation of words—which we'll do—may be helpful. For others, it's more helpful to simply sit in a field of love and radiate kindness without a lot of words, specific language, or intention. Whatever floats your heart—follow that into goodness.

Beacon Of Love Meditation—Jack Kornfield

Online Awakening Retreat  — 30 November - 4 December
https://mooji.org/events/online-awakening-retreat-nov-2022
Registration closes on 27 November as a Pre-Retreat Program begins on 28 November.

A questioner shares that anger is a frequent theme in her daily life at the moment and seeks guidance on how to deal with it.

Using love, compassion and directness, Moojibaba shows the relationship between this feeling and one's personal identity. Through the Invitation to Freedom, he points to that in us which is eternal, unchanging and ever free.

“Most human beings have no idea that there is a space beyond our person. Satsang is for this, if you open right now to see where I am speaking from and to. If you want to verify for yourself, are you up for this exploration?”

From Anger to Awakening

Online Awakening Retreat  — 30 November - 4 December
https://mooji.org/events/online-awakening-retreat-nov-2022
Registration closes on 27 November as a Pre-Retreat Program begins on 28 November.

In a recent online retreat, a questioner exposes his fear of rejection and how this holds him back in his longing to awaken to the truth. 

Through self inquiry, Moojibaba directs our attention away from not only the fear of rejection but all fears, to that space inside us which is pure and beyond all qualities.

“Some force within us identifies with a personal sense of self and part of that personal self feels vulnerable to the sense of rejection and criticism. All of that is perceivable to a deeper space of awareness. Whatever you perceive cannot be what you are, because when they go you would also be gone. You are here as the constant witness to all phenomena.”

The Real You Can Never Be Rejected

Inviting listeners into a soft, natural breathing amidst it all, Jack helps us flow through waves of thoughts, emotions, and sensations, in order to come to rest in loving awareness, the timeless witness indwelling in each of us as who we truly are.

"When you notice that a wave has pulled your attention from the breath, receive it. Let go of the attention to the breath, and receive it with the same loving awareness, as if to bow to it gently."

This meditation was originally livestreamed by Spirit Rock on 11/14/22.

Waves Of Experience Meditation – Jack Kornfield

 Ram Dass leads a 35 minute meditation, originally recorded January 1981, in Sydney Australia. 

Ram Dass guides a soma (divine nectar) meditation, focusing on drawing the living spirit in through the breath and body - and releasing the stuff in you that is keeping you from being with the universe: fears, negativity, doubt, inadequacy, anger, loneliness...replenishing your body with healing energy. Release the things you don't need in order to be in the spirit. 

Soma Guided Meditation With Ram Dass

I am using two base frequencies of 250.57hz to stimulate pituitary and 390hz for the Pineal glands. Both tones are at a beat frequency of 1.45 Delta waves which is a Tri-thalamic entrainment format. According to Ronald deStrulle, it creates entrainment between hypothalamus, pituitary & pineal. I found this awesome sitar recording by this person named kaiho on freesound.org and decided to use it.

So center yourself, meditate, and align your mind, body, and spirit.

Enjoy this one while you can, as I will be selling the copyrights to it soon.

Binaural Pineal Gland Stimulation

Grief is one of the heart’s natural responses to loss. When we grieve we allow ourselves to feel the truth of our pain, the measure of betrayal or tragedy in our life. By our willingness to mourn, we slowly acknowledge, integrate, and accept the truth of our losses. Sometimes the best way to let go is to simply grieve.

It takes courage to grieve, to honor the pain we carry. We can grieve in tears or in meditative silence, in prayer or in song. In touching the pain of recent and long-held griefs, we come face to face with our genuine human vulnerability, with helplessness and hopelessness. These are the storm clouds of the heart.

RELAX. 

How often do you say, “I’m just going to get through the day.” You’re running on adrenaline. But it’s not sustainable. If you’re not relaxed, you’re not breathing. If you’re not breathing, you’re not getting oxygen. It’s a loop. You’re going to be exhausted all the time.

On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about the power of breathing to heal our mind and body with a man known as “The Iceman:” Wim Hof. Wim Hof got his nickname “The Iceman” by breaking a number of records related to cold exposure. His feats include climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts, running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle on his bare feet, and standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes. He developed the Wim Hof Method: a natural path to an optimal state of body and mind. He says that our brains have the power to guarantee us happiness, strength, and health. We can actually regulate our mind and the autonomous nervous system by breathing and being present. Shut Up. Go in. Feel. Be. Connect.

So get ready to learn how to harness the power of the mind on Episode 799.

The art of living wisely requires us to learn to let go. But how can we do so?  Sometimes we need more love or forgiveness. This teaching and meditation will help show the way.
