Duration: 1 h 5 min 46 s
Description: When you are mindful, loving awareness offers you practical and revolutionary gifts of freedom. Spirit Rock Monday Night Dharma Talk: 5/7/18

Notice as you feel the breath, that who you are is not this breath, or this body, but you are loving awareness, the loving witness. You are consciousness itself—open, spacious, letting the breath breathe itself. Experiences can rise and fall in a field of loving awareness. Notice how emotions, feelings and thoughts rise and fall like the waves of the ocean; you are the loving witness to them all.

Loving Witness Meditation - Jack Kornfield

If it’s helpful, you can whisper in the back of your mind “ease” or “calm,” as suggested by Thich Nhat Hanh. Try to meet each breath with lovingkindness and loving awareness. Wish calm and peace for yourself and beings everywhere, far and near. Rest in stillness and love.

The Forgiving Heart Meditation — Jack Kornfield

Release whatever wants to be let go of in this moment. Let yourself become loving awareness itself. Feel yourself relax with each breath. You can nourish, connect, and come to rest. As you feel the breath come and go, there will likely be a stream of thoughts. Bow to your thoughts and say to yourself, “I love it when they come, and I love it when they go.” You can rest here and now in the reality of the present.

Nourish And Connect Meditation — Jack Kornfield

In this guided meditation, Jack invites us to meet whatever emotions, thoughts, and sensations arise with a rooted stillness, steadiness, and 
stability.

“Let yourself feel the steadiness of the earth, almost as if you have roots going down like you are a great tree—steady, rooted, and still, even when the wind blows through the branches.” – Jack Kornfield

The Bodhisattva & Power of Intention - Jack Kornfield

Compassion is the tenderness of the heart when it encounters suffering. For the circle of compassion to flow it requires the care of those suffering around you but that circle must include one other being–yourself.
