Part one of a series, listeners submit questions and Alan takes up some of the top things that come to mind when reading this book. The talk delves into questions like what relation our past history has to who and what we are as being, and whether or not it is necessary to suffer first in order to be free, and other issues that come to mind which all help clarify what it really means to be by looking inwardly and questioning our sense of who and what we are.

There is a sweet feeling inside, the feeling of being alive, which everyone can contact. We can get better at that as we practice, but it all comes down to a simple choice, an act of choosing what we know is right. And we can practice that too. We can strengthen the recognition that we have an interior choice, where we can supply our attention to what is right in us rather than what we think is wrong in us.

Mindful Choice Guided Meditation

Sometimes indecision stops us in our tracks. This simple guided meditation goes directly into that, to enhance your sense of power and ability to follow your heart, right at the micro-level of where indecisiveness arises. After each long thought phases passes, a moment of potential arises and in that moment you do what you intuitively feel is right. Then repeat the process. It's that simple. To practice trusting yourself, practice trusting yourself!

Trusting Your Intuition to Meditate

How can we feel present in our life, and stay that way? In this talk we explore what it means to be mindful beyond trying to remember to “pay attention." Typically, we'll "remember" to be present for something when it is just about to end, whether it's a meditation or even at the end of life. The trick is to remember in the middle! Let's look into how it really works: a practice of mindfulness is setting up the moments of awakening to happen on their own more and more. It’s not about exerting force or pressure to ‘be present.’ Rather, it's being wise about how to set things up in a way that brings attention home, while also recognizing the truth that you are always here.

Being Present Before Things End

Using the flavor of appreciation in your attention makes for a wonderful experience where you are grateful for meditation and grateful for life.

Appreciating Breath and Presence

This guided meditation is a pointing and a training in shifting to the heart of meditation, the source that keeps it going and alive and growing.

For just a few moments
here and there
when the opportunity strikes
cast aside all concerns
for only just a moment
no obligation for more
and throw the power of your belief and care
your love
with wild abandon
into your simple presence
beyond all that and always here.
