8/19/20 - Why are we Meditating? (Includes guided meditation with Metta practice)
About this episode
Without a clear understanding of how meditation works it is very easy to get side tracked or lost in our practice. When this happens meditation can quickly become routine, boring and dare we say, mindless. In this week’s talk we discuss how to keep your practice on track by gaining a deeper understanding of what skills you are developing, how healing and growth takes place in meditation and how heart/mind qualities are awakened during practice. This talk includes a special guided body scan meditation and instructions on how to engage in Metta with full-body awareness.
