Listen "Holding Opposites"
Episode Synopsis
Here I offer a guided meditation where we bring judgmental awareness to a particular sensation or emotion and then gently do the same with an opposite sensation or emotion. We are then invited to hold both in awareness at the same time. The "rub" between the opposites tends to create a friction which serves to neutralize both. It is out of the alchemy of opposing energies that equanimity flows. 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.orgI have been practicing meditation for 40 years and have 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, Non-Violent Communication, 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.If you find these podcasts helpful please consider making a donation: PayPal.me/suchsweetthunderMay All Benefit
