“MINDFULLY SPEAKING AS SHADOW”

Part 3 Of 4 On "Shadow Work For Mindfulness Meditators"

Shadow Work is the process of re-integrating the disowned aspects of yourself. It is a healing process that begins with developing tolerance towards things that bother you in the world, because often the things that bother us “out there”, are actually unconscious projections from our shadows “in here”. The shadow work process culminates when you are able to fully inhabit the perspective that bothers you, resulting in a profound sense of wholeness.

Light & Shadow – Opposite Sides Of The Same Coin

The Wisdom Of Maya Angelou

If there was ever a quote that speaks to the need to heal our inner fractures with shadow work, it’s this one from Maya Angelou: “Light and shadow are opposite sides of the same coin. We can illuminate our paths or darken the way. It is a matter of choice.” (more…)

Meditation In A Time Of Crisis - Oct. 30th - Nov. 3rd, 2023

Meditation In A Time Of Crisis – As the world spirals into yet another all too frequent crisis, we are once again confronted with the truth of our basic human fragility. At times like these, when confronted with our human vulnerability it is not uncommon to be overcome by insecurity, anxiety, and fear. Now more than ever, it’s important to rely on your Dharma practice as a refuge. Not as a practice of liberation that gives you refuge FROM the world, but rather as one that gives you refuge IN the world.

The Buddha’s Teaching Of The 2 Darts

How Meditation Works

There’s a well-known teaching from the Buddha of “The 2 Darts”. This teaching points to the two ways that you experience pain and suffering in your life. The 1st dart is when you get “hit” by something in life that causes pain and suffering. The 1st type of darts happen in life and to a certain extent, they are impossible to avoid. The 2nd type of dart is entirely different.

The 3 Transformational Keys To Insight Meditation

Anicca, Dukkha, & Anatta

Vipassana meditation is usually translated as “Insight Meditation” because the practice quite naturally triggers off a process of purification that develops progressively through stages of insight knowledge. With each stage, a meditator incrementally gains insight into the Dhamma or the ultimate reality. Thus “Insight Meditation”.
