Could you allow yourself to find a place of rest in the middle of your experience? Just being yourself is all what is needed to be content. Stephan Pende guides you in this short Meditation to a place of peace in the midst of a busy day. 

Just Being Yourself

The breath can be the resting point you return to during daily life. Stephan Pende guides a gentle breathing meditation which helps you to find a peaceful place in the midst of your experience. 

Resting In The Breath

Stephan Pende explores in this teaching the two basic levels of mind: the unconditioned and conditioned level. When we rest in unconditioned awareness, our dualistic fixations and with that our stressful thoughts are completely inactive.  There’s no attachment or aversion to anything that arises within our field of awareness and no attempt to prolong or escape what is happening. We discover a place of peace and wholeness which is always available to us.  Conditioned mind, on the other hand, is characterized by the presence of dualistic fixations – our likes and dislikes. Any sense of lack, judgment and dissatisfaction is a function of the conditioned mind.  

Two Levels Of Mind

All of us are caught up in addictive patterns. Stephan Pende presents how meditation can  release us from the grip of negative habits and addictions that block a full and meaningful life. We can learn how to undo our habits and addictions and find true contentment.  Stephan Pende also leads two meditations to develop familiarity with states of mind that can release us from addictive patterns.

Resting in timeless presence

Guided Body-scan to gently slide into a deep relaxation, connecting with the natural peace of your mind. 

Compassionate Body-Scan

An invitation to slide into a place of fulfillment by letting the moment be just as it is. If you stop to struggle with reality there is peace.

Letting be and letting go

A guided meditation in which you connect with gratitude about the richness of this moment. If you are truly present, gratefulness is arising naturally.

Gratefulness

When we practice mindfulness meditation, many things arise in awareness. We typically turn our attention to each thing in turn - different thoughts, feelings, body sensations, states of mind. We often don’t turn our attention to that which is doing the observing, that which seems to be doing the thinking, that which is aware. This is what you are invited to do in this meditation - to actually seek, in a very practical way, who it is that is doing the seeking, who it is that is practicing. Of course, you say, I am seeking, I am practicing. But who is this I? Can you show it to me? When we turn to look for it, what do we find?

Self-Inquiry

In this Meditation you are invited to approach an area of emotional or physical discomfort and hold it softly. Trusting the healing and transformative power of mindful acceptance. A meditation for difficult moments!
