2021-04-12 Meditation: Joy (Mudita) | Monday Night 29:23
Jack Kornfield
Let yourself think of someone you care about. Picture them, remember them, see them in your mind's eye or hold them in your heart. Imagine their happiest moment as a child. Then begin to wish them well: "May you be joyful. May you remember that child of spirit that was born in you. May your joy increase. May the causes for happiness and joy grow stronger in your life." Then imagine this person wishing the same for you.

Nikki Mirghafori

2021-04-09 Noticing Absence, Letting Go of Self-Reference 49:18
Nikki Mirghafori
In this guided meditation, we explore voidness/emptiness through the absence of observed phenomena. Our habitual self-referential frame of reference is also invited to be seen and examined, and momentarily let go of to notice the freedom of the way of seeing free of self-ing.

2021-04-09 The way we start anything will determine its outcome 59:10

This principle is applied to meditation: The in-coming bread, the out-going bread.

2021-04-08 Guided Meditation: Life as A Dream 44:34
Nikki Mirghafori
In this guided meditation, we explore emptiness as a way of seeing the dreamlike nature of what we assume to be our fixed reality. "Thus shall you think of all this fleeting world: As star at dawn, a bubble in a stream, A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."
