  • Mastering Meditation Series - Week 5. Meditation and Focus

    Focused Attention meditation is at the heart of every useful mediation practice.

    Before we can positively affect our lives, we need to be present to do so. While our minds wander, they leave us incapable of addressing our real lives which are a collection of present moments.
    To train this we need to practice noticing that our minds have wandered and train ourselves to be present.
    Meditations
    Robert guides four familiar practices from the perspective of focus on the present moment:

    • The meditation of no meditation for sound - 10 minutes
  • The meditation of no meditation for the breath - 19 minutes
  • Counting the breaths - 29 minutes
  • Following the breath - 41 minutes

    • This is a recording of a live-streamed class from The Loving Awareness Meditation Course -

    Three live-streamed classes each week.

  • Acceptance
    Acceptance is much misunderstood. It is often defined as accepting our circumstances. That is just plain wrong. We can’t just allow ourselves to suffer circumstances that are intolerable or unacceptable if we can change them. Acceptance is actually allowing ourselves to feel how experiences *make us feel*. Robert explains how meditation helps to allow uncomfortable experiences into our lives and how we can, over time, learn to become more comfortable with being uncomfortable.The meditations are taught from the perspective of acceptance.This session includes the following meditations: the meditations of no meditation, the following the breath meditation and the destress meditation.
