A New Beginning (Cort, 10 min, Seated)

Have you ever wanted to love and connect with others more deeply … but felt that you could use a little help shedding the “emotional armor” and opening your heart?
With Awakening Love, Pema Chödrön invites you to start wherever you are, amid any and all of the challenges, frustrations, or fears you may be facing, and to use them as the starting place to awaken the natural and boundless capacity to give and receive love more fully.
This practice-centered program, recorded at Gampo Abbey, will teach you how to apply the insights of Buddhism’s Four Limitless Ones—lovingkindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity—to even your most difficult obstacles.
Your Obstacles to the Open Heart Are Your Most Valuable Allies
Many students confess to Pema Chödrön that they cannot think of even one person to love during heart-centered meditation practice. This is what she tells them:
“What if you could open to that frustration, just for a moment, to discover not just where love is free flowing … but where it’s not? That is how we all begin to uncover the soft spot within.”
Here, Pema Chödrön brings her unique blend of kitchen-table common sense, scholarship, and empathy to help you discover the eternal resilience and joy of your own tender, undefended, and genuine heart. Whether you’re in the midst of a challenging relationship, grief, or simply in need of heart-centered rejuvenation, Awakening Love provides you with the gentle step-by-step instructions needed to awaken the natural goodness within you.
Highlights
The Four Qualities or Limitless Ones, the roots of suffering, and expanding the capacity to love
Seeing where we’re blocked and bringing lovingkindness to our biases and fears
Aspiration practice, “not faking it,” unblocking the flow of love, and benefactors
Changing our attitude toward pain, working with anger, compassionate abiding, tonglen, and “making friends with the hard stuff”
Meditations and practices for receiving unconditional love, resting in natural awareness, cultivating gratitude and sympathetic joy, opening to the world, and more

Awakening Love Sample by Pema Chodron

Zen master and poet Thich Nhat Hanh was forcibly exiled from his native country of Vietnam more than 40 years ago. We visited the Buddhist monk at a Christian conference center in a lakeside setting of rural Wisconsin. Here, Thich Nhat Hanh offers stark, gentle wisdom for living in a world of anger and violence. He discusses the concepts of "engaged Buddhism," "being peace," and "mindfulness."

The mysterious quality we call Love involves stepping out of the body of fear and allowing something bigger to be born in us, all the while acknowledging and loving that smaller sense of self. Though we understand it to be our true nature, we must also recognize the necessity for practice in sustaining this openhearted awareness.

Once brought to life, we learn to nourish that deeper part of our being, offering the appropriate respect and response to all of humanity

Body Scan Mindfulness (12 mins)– Rachel Tobin

I read about this meditation and couldn't find it via my podcast search or on a mobile-friendly service, so I downloaded Tara's meditation from https://www.tarabrach.com/smile-guided-meditation/ on my mac and uploaded here to Soundcloud for my own listening. Hopefully Tara is open to the idea of sharing her teaching on Soundcloud so other new listeners can enjoy her work.
