Mindfulness Anywhere: Recent Episodes

Mindfulness Anywhere

Welcome to a virtual meditation practice center. We practice mindfulness in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. Mindfulness is learning to be aware in the present moment and aware how we interact with what is going on in the present moment. This can be done in different ways and we practice three of them. On Tuesday we practice simply following our breathe as we sit and walk. Thursday we practice looking deeply, vipassana, learning to see different aspects of our life without judgement, which is done through a guided meditation time. Saturday is a day to practice as a community and we do different things. Some days the phone line is open and we have a conversation about a previous show or some other topic. There could be a guest speaker, a special ceremony, talk by Rev Marvin Brown, question and answer or what ever the community comes up with.

Mindfulness is the art of being totally aware of the present moment. So often we are caught in the past or the future and we loose track of the present moment which holds the key to our happiness and peace. The gift of mindfulness is that it is something that can be learned and implemented in our life. Learning takes place in different ways and on Wednesday we practice to look deeply into the present moment and to listen to what is truly there.

Today we will be practicing meditation with a guided practice. We will be focusing on the 5 aggregates. I invite you to bring an apple or a piece of fruit to the meditation which will be the center of our meditation. We practicing in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and on Wednesday we focus on looking deeply and listening deeply.

During the program there are long periods of silence to allow time for personal reflection. While in the silence there is the sound of running water so that you know that we are still connected.
