Listen "Heartfelt Awareness-Awakening Factors"
Episode Synopsis
Here I offer a guided meditation through what is known in the buddhist tradition as the seven factors (or facets) of awakening: Mindfulness, Curiosity, Energy, Joy, Tranquility, Concentration, and Equanimity. As the practice unfolds we are invited to touch in with these qualities, which are always available, and we offer the light of awareness as nourishment to the seeds of awakening latent in our heart.
Meditation can be challenging at times. Occasionally we may experience things which surprise as a result. If you have any questions or concerns in regards to this, or other meditation practices, please feel free to message me through my website: www.suchsweetthunder.org
I have been practicing meditation for 36 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, Neuroplasticity, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.
