  • Freedom from the Modern Mind

    Most of the content that fills our minds is a reflection of our common cultural narrative. The goods and bads, rights and wrongs, fairs and unfairs that we adopt from what we learn and from trying to interpret the beliefs of our peers.

    The modern mind then judges, compares, complains, and weaves a compelling narrative (which we often accept unquestioningly) that much of what we experience, often including ourselves, is not good enough. The resulting inner narrative couldn't be more destructive for our happiness. Learn how to recognise this self-sabotaging process and, over time, neutralise it.

    In this episode, Robert takes the listeners on a meditative journey into thought and the mind to teach us how we can discover a state of mind without the incessant repetition of the modern mind.

  • Meditation the Modern Way
    In this podcast, Robert explains why he teaches the meditations he does teach and why he teaches how he teaches. There are three key elements of teaching meditation: the teaching methodology, the meditations and the way that new meditators are encouraged to meditate.
    In this Podcast, Robert provides some insight into his training methodology, how he uses Kaizen, a process of continuous improvement to improve the training and to introduce new practices. He then explains how meditators can do the same as a way of building a personal practice.
    Meditations are: the meditation of no meditation for sound and for the breath, following the breath, counting the breaths, labelling the thoughts and labelling the quality of thought.

  • The Modern Mind Meditation
    In this episode, Robert deconstructs the modern mind meditation and uses it to explain the nature of the mind.The modern mind is ‘the content’ and unfortunately out society confuses this content with the mind itself. Because of this confusion, the focus of science and philosophy remains on trying to work with the thoughts themselves and fails to spend time understanding the nature of the mind itself.This is the reason that meditation is so new in the West, despite being consistently practiced in the East for about three thousand years.The meditation in this episode is the modern mind meditation.

  • The Wisdom Process
    Subtitle, the Design, History and Original Purpose of Meditation.The content of our modern minds becomes overwhelming for us. There is so much messaging from so many sources, television, work, the media, advertising, the news, the internet, our devices, our family, our friends, partners and peers.In the modern world, we make a critical, yet understandable error. We confuse the contents of the mind with the mind itself.Thoughts are messages from our mind as it tries to interpret this incessant deluge of information. The mind is running a verbal interpretation of the complicated narrative it is trying to negotiate past our awareness in a search for consistency and resolution to its confusion. If it fails to gain consistency it continues to produce this stream of thought and then we have the modern mind. It is the work of many years to observe, notice and calm this process.In this session, Robert teaches key meditations from the perspective of the ancient meditative concept of Clarity. Clarity meditation allows us to see what we project onto any experiences we have from our personal and cultural narratives. The Dzogchen Clarity meditation helps us to see what we bring to an experience and what it actually consists of as a sensory experience of the present moment without that narrative operating. We can witness our responses and thoughts arise, subside, become replaced and finally dissolve in the intricate detail of the experience of the present moment.The Modern Mind meditation allows us to experience, at a very low level, the point where thought arises into our experience.We can witness our thoughts arising through these mediations. This process of observing our mind witnessing thoughts arising is what Robert calls The Wisdom Process.Meditations are: A Dzogchen Clarity MeditationThe Modern Mind Meditation.

  • Mindfulness Meditation for The Modern Mind
    The Modern Mind is a collection of lists. A list of lists. Each list consists of tasks, priorities, values, desires, jobs, people, memories and so-on. The lists continually revolve in our minds leading to the overload that is all part of the modern life.Imagine what life would be like without this constantly overflowing stream of wants, needs, fears, worries, doubts and other emotionally charged thoughts.Mindfulness is the undistracted awareness of the experience of the present moment. The present moment is the sensory experience of now. The sensory experience of now is overwhelmingly good for most people, for most of the time.In the Mindfulness Meditation for the Modern Mind series, Robert will clarify how we can learn to calm and diminish this constant flow of internal messages to the point where they are proportional to the that experiences they represent. We can find balance and harmony, perspective and clarity from meditation.In this session, Robert teaches how can become aware of the deep inner experience of thoughts arising in the mind and begin to rebalance the scales of the mind.Meditations include the Modern Mind meditation.
