Listen Later

Here is a recorded session from my weekly practice group. This practice session is designed for students who are actively involved in my mentoring programs. If you would like to find out more, or join the program read about that here: https://www.davesmithdharma.com/meditation/mentoring/

Vipassana meditation (insight or mindfulness practice) unites the stillness of concentration with the immediacy of moment to moment experience. As we learn to calm the body and mind, intuitive wisdom arises. This allows us to open to the truth of each moment’s experience within and around us. In this way, we increase our ability to meet life’s ups and downs with ease and presence.

 

Metta (loving-kindness) meditation practice calls forth the beautiful spiritual emotions within our heart: loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity.
