(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Moving aside from the notions of a good death or a bad death, we consider an exquisite death. The power of an encounter with mortality can set our lives in motion. How would we like to be companions for ourselves? In this talk we hear stories that changed Kodo's understanding of mortality, and how the Buddha accompan…

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) Death is not waiting for us at the end of a long road. Death is always with us, in the marrow of every passing moment. She is the secret teacher hiding in plain sight.

S4E9 - Rest as Resistance 10:43

1+ y ago10:43

10:43

The truth is, awareness of the world can be exhausting. Being in a marginalized body or being an ally to marginalized bodies can leave our nervous systems fried. We need to rest in order to remain resourced to continue resisting the very systems that oppress us. Not to mention, that under a capitalistic and patriarchal society, resting itself is an…

S4E8 - Seeing Your Way 11:32

1+ y ago11:32

11:32

Many meditators become attached to the idea that meditating must be done with the eyes closed, but how can we use sight - much like we've used sound in the past - as an anchor and a window into a budding self-awareness? Observing your body's responses and reactions to visual stimulus is a beautiful way to practice. Try it with me! • Guided by Dawn …

11:15

Whether it is peace, energy, love, kindness, understanding, or something else you are looking for, this meditation will help you find pieces of yourselves that already contain that which you are seeking. It's a practice in resourcing from within. Which isn't meant to eliminate the need for others, only to keep us feeling sturdy and in harmony with …

S4E6 - Receiving Sound, Observing Self 11:25

1+ y ago11:25

11:25

Sound is an amazing tool for observing our natural reactions and inclinations. Noticing how we physically receive certain sounds, what happens in the body when we can't seem to find a sound after the meditation we are listening to *told us to hear*! This meditation will use sound and the sense of hearing as a portal to observing the self. It will s…

S4E5 - Self Diagnostics 11:14

1+ y ago11:14

11:14

Sometimes a simple check in is incredibly powerful. This meditation will guide you through a little self-diagnostics check, to notice what is present in you in a precise moment. Doubt? Agitation? Fatigue? Practice saying "I see you! It's all good!" before diving deeper. Removing judgement allows us to be honest with ourselves and those around us ab…

S4E4 - Returning Over and Over 12:01

1+ y ago12:01

12:01

One of the most common misconceptions I come across as a meditation teacher is the belief that you need to be able to empty your mind or stop it from wandering in order to meditate. The practice of meditation is a continual returning from wherever your mind wanders to. This meditation focuses on that very fundamental part of every practice: Returni…

S4E3 - Simply Settling 11:35

11:35

Some days we just feel a little bit wired and unsettled. This meditation is a simple yet effective tool for helping to settle the mind, the nerves, and the spirit. In the meditation, I use the visual of a snow globe all shaken up and slowly settling. Think of this as *that* but for your mind. • Guided by Dawn Mauricio • Enjoyed this meditation? Rat…

S4E2 - Leaning Into Support 11:01

11:01

In a highly individualistic society that celebrates independence, it can feel hard sometimes to accept and embrace support. But the truth is, there is massive strength and freedom in allowing loved ones and our communities to support us. This meditation will tune into the ways your body and mind are resisting support as a practice in leaning into i…

S4E1 - Navigating Perfectionism 10:29

1+ y ago10:29

10:29

The body naturally wants to move towards balance. We don't really need to *do* anything about it. The mind however, often seeks perfection. This meditation will invite you to notice the way this mental tendency towards fixing and adjusting manifests in the body. The more we practice this, the more easily we can respond when we notice it happening i…

This meditation is part of my end of year rituals I do to honor the past year and to usher in the next year with connection, intention, and purpose. The meditation includes visualizing the year that is ending in reverse chronological order and letting any memories of whatever happened during the year arise naturally. Afterward, you can fill out the…

S3E9 - Radiating Metta 10:44

2y ago10:44

10:44

For those familiar with the practice of cultivating loving-kindness, you probably have done so through a recitation of phrases. Reciting phrases is just one doorway into this particular heart quality, and it doesn’t always work for everyone. In this practice, you’ll be guided to use images or a memory to inspire the sensations of loving-kindness to…

S3E8 - RAINish 11:29

2y ago11:29

11:29

The acronym RAIN - recognize, allow, investigate, non-identification - was created by Michelle McDonald and popularized by Tara Brach. Often taught as a tool to deal with overwhelming emotions, this twist on a more traditional RAIN practice is guided so that it can be an essential technique you refer to regardless of what your current experience is…

How are you right now? How are you really right now? Is it possible to go beyond the label, or concept, or construct of sadness or joy or busy and drop into the body? How does whatever you’re feeling manifest right now? Sensations are information! This meditation follows the thread of your experience back to an immediate awareness of what is felt i…

S3E5 - Tuning Into the Body's Wisdom 10:04

2y ago10:04

10:04

Tuning into the embodied experience of a phenomena–a sound, a thought, a sensation–can give us important insight into how we are feeling at any given moment. This meditation will invite kindness in as we practice returning over and over again to the most present sensations in our body. • Guided by Dawn Mauricio • Enjoyed this meditation? Rate it ⭐️…

In a society obsessed with productivity and "doing" it can be really challenging to honor moments of stillness, even though these moments often hold vital wisdom for our well-being. This meditation is simple, yet can be challenging since. You'll be guided to put down the doing–seeking out the next instruction or thinking about the next thing to "do…

S3E3 - Honoring the Elements 10:19

2y ago10:19

10:19

Whenever an emotion or a sensation arises and we get caught in thinking that it shouldn’t be this way, what is happening is simply nature living through us, being expressed in the moment. Much like how the heat or the air in your body comes and goes, much like the expressions of fire and wind in daily life fluctuate and waiver, so it is that all th…

S3E2 - Sidestep Compassion Overwhelm 10:33

2y ago10:33

10:33

In a news-obsessed, 24-hour information cycle society, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of suffering there is in the world at any given time. Between the people closest to us, those who challenge us, and those we know only from a distance ... It can be a lot to hold. This meditation introduces a few sentences to help you focus…

S3E1 - Your Go To Meditation 10:29

2y ago10:29

10:29

One of the biggest barriers many people face when starting their meditation practice is the idea that they are inherently either “good” or “bad” at it. In reality, though, a lot of meditation is the practice of coming back over and over and over again. This 10-minute meditation, which is my "go-to" when I'm in a pinch, is a simple and yet effective…

S2E9 - Steadying the Heart and Mind 10:26

2+ y ago10:26

10:26

"Balance" and "ease" are words used interchangeably to mean equanimity, while equanimity itself can be defined as a steadiness of the heart and mind. In other words, it is the groundwork for freedom and compassion through wisdom. Like many parts of mindfulness practice, discomfort can't be bypassed to an equanimous state, however, practice helps to…

Anyone else feeling some overwhelm right about now? I'm finding myself in a new cycle of news addiction and the regular and constant exposure to it is certainly leaving me feeling anxious and overwhelmed. This meditation was originally created in one of my last cycles of overwhelm, and yet, it is serving me yet again. If you're feeling it, too, I h…

S2E7 - From Painful to Mindful 12:16

2+ y ago12:16

12:16

A natural human reaction is to avoid that which is unpleasant, especially anything painful. Like so much of mindfulness practice, the most immediate way in which we can find any sort of freedom is by moving toward it. Beware, though, because jumping into feeling pain without first establishing a foundation could alter your relationship to what you’…

S2E6 - Choosing Forgiveness 11:50

2+ y ago11:50

11:50

When sayings like “forgive and forget" are commonplace, being quick to forgive someone without ever really tending to your own hurt feelings, or letting someone back into your life despite your better judgment. For these reasons (and more), forgiveness can be a challenging and commonly misunderstood quality. Forgiveness doesn’t condone the past, do…

S2E5 - Peace of Food 12:09

Mindfulness is a simple yet powerful practice that can be integrated it into anything we do.

In this practice, you'll be guided how to eat mindfully, which suddenly creates at least…

S2E4 - Increasing Your Tolerance For Discomfort 14:35

2+ y ago14:35

14:35

As humans, we have become really good at avoiding what we don’t want to feel or experience, especially if it's painful or unpleasant, resulting in us (consciously or unconsciously) spending a lot of our time running away from perceived or future pain. What then happens is our past pains start to dictate our future. Although that might be true in ma…

S2E3 - Love Your Many Sides 20:23

3y ago20:23

20:23

Some days, the thought of loving ourselves can feel impossible, while other days it can feel selfish, leading us to offer love to others instead of ourselves. But it’s imperative that we start with ourselves, much like how we are told in an airplane to secure our own oxygen mask before helping others. This meditation, inspired by Susan Piver, is a …

Maybe it's stress and anxiety, maybe it's prolonged periods of looking down at our devices. Regardless of the reason, many of us have tense neck and shoulders. With sustained and consistent practice, mindfulness can act as a preventative tool, cueing you to adjust your posture and to manage your stress better. If you add this to the simple movement…

S2E1 - Build a Backbone 10:20

3y ago10:20

10:20

As beings with eyes positioned to see forward and minds conditioned to think ahead, we often forget about the back of our body. As a result, once we start practicing mindfulness, we don’t realize we often focus on the front of our body when we tune in to our breath or physical sensations. This mindfulness practice, which includes movement, aims to …

Being mindful of the breath is often the first instruction given to beginners, yet it can be supportive no matter your level of experience. One of the reasons why the breath is a common meditation anchor is that it is always with us, wherever we go. This 5-minute meditation (with ending bell) was written with that in mind—no matter where you are, t…

S1E6 - Coming Home to Your Body 5:23

3y ago5:23

5:23

Meditation can often be mistaken as a mental or “heady” practice, but really, it is an embodiment practice. Most mindfulness meditation techniques aim to bring the body and mind into the same place—right here, right now. As easy as it sounds, it can be challenging because we are so used to running from one thing to next, planning, strategizing, or …

S1E5 - Your Inner Breath 15:28

3y ago15:28

Often times, we may be aware of the breath in a generally broad sense, whether noticing a certain quality of the breath or a part of the body moving with the breath. Although that can be incredibly supportive, we sometimes miss the breath as a full body experience. This 15-minute meditation (with ending bell) guides you to sense both your breath an…
