Another Side of Meditation
A short passage from “The Cloud of Unknowing” together with reflections from James Finley about mantra and meditation.
Awareness
The Sun & Moon of Meditation
Our main focus of attention is of a male, left brain quality, active, directed, exclusive, analytic, penetrating, discerning, and very concerned with the ego-self, while peripheral awareness is of a female, right brain quality, holistic, open, inclusive, concerned with context and the relation of everything within a greater whole.
Meditation Inventory
What exactly is happening with us when we are trying to meditate? How are we dealing with the obstacles? How can we re-adjust attitude and effort?
Communication Resolution
Resolution Meditation for more conscious, positive, future-building, soul-uplifting, inclusive and compassionate thinking, speaking and listening.
What can we do Differently?
One popular belief – and excuse – is “I cannot” or “I don’t have time to.” A self-empowering thing we might want to consider is that life is ALL about priorities, and it is only us who sets these priorities and who can change them.
Selfless Service (Seva)
Seva, selfless service or “Karma Yoga,” is described in all spiritual traditions as a fundamental technology for liberation from the illusion of separate existence and the cycle of birth and death.
