Radiate Love – Guided Meditation

A beautiful love-centered meditation, recorded live from Ram Dass’ seaside home on October 12, 2012.

Loving Awareness – Guided Meditation

Ram Dass leads us in a twenty-minute meditation into our true center of Loving Awareness.

Recorded from his residence in 2016.

Beyond Space & Time Meditation

Ram Dass leads a seaside meditation experience called visualization, where you imagine the guru that is within expands in size until you are beyond space, time, and thought. Let the gentle waves hold you as you discover that this being is your true self.

Lama Tsultrim Allione, offers a five minute guided meditation on anger.

Part 2:

Awakening to our true nature does not mark the end of the spiritual path—it’s just the beginning.

In this intimate and compelling dialogue, Adyashanti and Loch Kelly explore the journey after awakening, sharing candid insights and observations gained from their own lives and through working with hundreds of people in this mysterious, subtle, and sometimes precarious territory.

Topics Include:

• Post-Awakening Detox
• Dissolving Personal Will
• Alluring Places We Get Stuck
• Fear of Death
• Hiding in Transcendence
• The Risks and Casualties of the Spiritual Game
• Certainty and the Unknown
• Partial Awakening
• Resistance, Confusion, and Disorientation
• The Undefended Heart
• The Death of the Doer
• Unhooking Emotional Identity
• Authentic Flowering
• Living in the World
• Landing in the Ordinary
• The Last Remnants of Illusion

Almost everyone on a serious spiritual journey goes through trying times, inwardly and outwardly, with difficult and dark emotions, often referred to as “the dark night of the soul.” In this cohesive and articulate 90-minute talk, Adyashanti sheds light on several types of dark-night experiences and reveals the hidden power within them. He also distinguishes between these deeply emotional experiences and classical depression.

From a talk titled: “Guided Meditation – Metta to Phenomena”, given during the event “Lovingkindness and Compassion as a Path to Awakening”. Held at Gaia House, Devon on 2007-02-04. Topics covered: metta, metta towards phenomena, compassion, practice: welcoming/allowing
“Teacher’s note on suitability: this series of talks and guided meditations explores the development of the practices of both lovingkindness and compassion, with particular emphasis on the radical possibilities of awakening that they bring. Through these practices we come to develop deep and beautiful qualities of heart as a real resource both for ourselves and the world, and also open ourselves to the profound and liberating understandings that can emerge from this path of love.”

Beautiful guided meditation offered by Stephen Levine during a retreat on the topic of “Dying into Life”, that he co-hosted with Ram Dass in 1982. Listen to the whole retreat via Better Listen.

Waking in the morning deserves special attention. It is the worst time of day to most people with nervous breakdown, not only because it brings another day to face, but because it may also so disappointingly fail to fulfil the expectations of the previous night. There are days when the sufferer feels comparatively well and by evening has convinced himself that he really is getting better at last. He goes to bed cheerful and optimistic only to find, on waking the next morning, that the previous day’s improvement seems but a dream.

It is strange how the morning has this disconcerting habit of apparently paying little regard to the improvement of the day before. People are disappointed and bewildered when, after going to bed fairly cheerful, they wake the next morning to find the same old heart of lead, the same depression, the same churning stomach, the same difficulty in facing the day, the same desire to switch off their engine and pull the blankets over their head.

I thought I’d write a little (or a lot) about how Dr. Claire Weekes’ method can help to eradicate anxiety. In my experience it is the surest way to complete recovery from nervous illness.

Firstly panic is the dominating force and this must be addressed. A nervously ill person must realise that when they panic there are two fears involved. When they spot the second fear they should apply the 4 concepts AND detached mindfulness.

Dr Weekes sets out to explain how a nervous breakdown begins and develops and how it can be cured. She states simply that a cure can be achieved if we use our innate courage and perseverance and emphasizes that the power is within us to achieve the goal of recovery from a ‘nervous breakdown’, no matter how difficult our plight is.

I am playing with some ways to make the theory a bit more visual, so newcomers who are interested in Buddhism can maybe grasp or remember the concepts easier, and start focusing on the practice.

Hopefully the result doesn’t look too simplistic, but displays some of the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in such a way that we can apply them in our daily life right away:
