New Zealand NZDT 08.30 (next day) Many meditators come to practice in the hope of reducing or even getting rid of difficult feelings like stress and anxiety. Yet, to feel anxiety about our lives and especially the current state of our world is a completely understandable and even appropriate response. So how do we learn to listen deeply to our anxiety without allowing it to overwhelm us?<\/p>\n Anxiety can have a debilitating effect on our lives. Popular techniques that emphasise trying to calm or relax, whilst having a place, on their own provide surface and temporary relief. Buddhism teaches that contracted mental states are driven by deeper underlying causes and conditions that through practice can be seen through and released.<\/p>\n Anxiety is also sending us an important message: that we are struggling to tolerate our current bodily experience. It is a messenger of information. On this practical and experiential weekend retreat, guided by the core teachings of the Buddha, we will be exploring effective and creative ways of responding to this.<\/p>\n How in relationship with others, can we resource ourselves to stay present to our body of experience that includes others and the world? How do we build emotional resilience and therefore be less vulnerable to overwhelm? How can we show up in the world with a more fearless compassionate heart?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Home Retreat Live Session Times (click to see)” open_toggle_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” icon_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_tablet=”” title_phone=”Home Retreat Live Session Times (tap to see)” title_last_edited=”on|phone” open_toggle_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_toggle_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” closed_toggle_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” closed_toggle_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” icon_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” icon_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” icon_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” open_icon_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” open_icon_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”See the Retreat Session Times” _builder_version=”4.16″ title_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_font=”|700|||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_line_height=”1.7em” closed_title_font=”|700|||||||” closed_title_font_size=”18px” body_font_size=”18px” body_link_font=”|||||||#0c3179|” body_link_text_color=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” max_width=”1170px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” title_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” title_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” title_font_size_tablet=”” title_font_size_phone=”16px” title_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” closed_title_font_size_tablet=”” closed_title_font_size_phone=”16px” closed_title_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”” body_font_size_phone=”16px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” body_link_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” body_link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” body_link_text_color_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” border_color_all_tablet=”” border_color_all_phone=”” border_color_all_last_edited=”on|phone” disabled=”on” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22body_link_text_color%22,%22body_link_text_color_tablet%22,%22body_link_text_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_phone%22,%22icon_color_tablet%22,%22icon_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22open_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22title_text_color%22,%22title_text_color_tablet%22,%22title_text_color_phone%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_tablet%22,%22closed_toggle_text_color_phone%22,%22border_color_all%22%93}”]First daily session (2 hrs):\u00a0<\/strong>USA PST 01:30 | M\u00e9xico 03:30 | USA EST 04:30 |\u00a0IE & UK 09:30 | Europe CET 10:30 | India 14:00 | Australia AEST 18:30 | New Zealand NZST 20:30<\/p>\n Second daily session (1.5 hrs, with optional breakout rooms):<\/strong> USA PST 07:30 | M\u00e9xico 09:30 | USA EST 10:30 | IE & UK 15:30 | Europe CET 16:30 | India 20:00 | Australia AEST 00:30 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 02:30 (next day)<\/p>\n Third daily session (60-75 mins):<\/strong> USA PST 11:00 | M\u00e9xico 13:00 | USA EST 14:00 | IE & UK 19:00 | Europe CET 20:00 | India 23:30 | Australia AEST 04:00 (next day) | New Zealand NZST 06:00 (next day)<\/p>\n N.B.

Singhashri then talks about anxiety and how it relates to dukkha, suffering and dissatisfaction. She recalls some passages from the life of the Buddha, specifically when as a child he sat under a rose apple tree and meditated deeply, relating this experience to safety, dignity and belonging.<\/p>\n After a space to explore this and share our reflections in groups (not on this recording), Singhashri leads us in a beautiful meditation, grounding and resourcing through connecting with the six senses (the five traditional senses + heart-mind!).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1093248203?share=copy” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#d04b01″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color_tablet%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}”]<\/p>\n We start this session with Singhashri and a simple but significant embodied exercise to help hold the space, then share and explore some community empowerments that support good conditions for such a tender communal practice space as this.<\/span><\/p>\n Balajit then introduces us to the idea of being akuppa<\/em> – unshakeable – in Buddhist tradition: the idea of living inconceivably free of the mental states that cause us suffering. Sometimes this kind of vision of the path contrasts so strongly with the habitual, contracted, reactive responses we can have to the world. In light of that aspect of being human our time is not so different from the time of the Buddha. And in our own longing to be free we can relate to the mythic figure of Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion, turning towards the suffering and anxiety we fall prey to and moving into a form that is now able to meet it.<\/p>\n To close the first day, Balajit leads us in listening to and chanting the Avalokiteshvara mantra sung by the Plum Village community<\/a>, and invites us just to sit silently together.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Internal Section Rule” _builder_version=”4.23″ max_width=”305px”

My Love\u201d (\u201clet your names take and root\u2026\u201d)\u2014a gentle invocation to meet experience with wonder and courage.\u00a0From there she and Balajit lead a body-based \u201carriving\u201d practice and remind us that every mood is welcome in the room.<\/p>\n After brief introductions they turn to the retreat\u2019s core map: the nervous-system \u201cwindow of tolerance.\u201d\u00a0Balajit explains fight\/flight, freeze and regulated states, weaving in Sangharakshita\u2019s line that \u201cawareness is the most powerful transforming agent\u201d<\/em> (from The Bodhisattva Ideal<\/em>) and the K\u0101yagat\u0101sati Sutta\u2019s praise of mindfulness \u201cimmersed in the body.\u201d<\/p>\n Participants test these ideas in real time: a ten-second leg-press to discharge fight\/flight energy; a pillow-hugging meditation that many describe as instantly soothing; and a 20-minute full-body sit that moves and pendulates between contracted and easeful zones.\u00a0The group shares discoveries\u2014\u201csafe-bubbly\u201d warmth, protection, tears, or noticing simultaneous hyper- and hypo-arousal\u2014before breaking.\u00a0By anchoring modern polyvagal insights in classic Dharma, the session models how safety and curiosity can let anxiety loosen its grip.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″

central channel\u2014a deep-blue column of spacious energy running from navel to crown\u2014and introduces two gentle movements (wing-sweep arm raises and \u201cenergy-ball\u201d hand extensions) to smooth and enliven that channel.<\/p>\n After settling, we chant the seed-syllable H\u016a\u1e42 and are guided through the Buddha\u2019s five dhy\u0101na factors\u2014vitakka, vic\u0101ra, p\u012bti, sukha, and ekaggat\u0101\u2014learning how to pair each with somatic resourcing, pendulation and mindful curiosity so the mind can stay within its window of tolerance.<\/p>\n The talk weaves in classic sources like the Anapanasati Sutta. Practical Q&A touches on distinguishing skillful \u201cresourcing\u201d from mere distraction and balancing breath-focus with emerging energy sensations.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1093403237?share=copy#t=0″ disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#d04b01″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”#84B29D” link_text_color_phone=”#84B29D” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The day draws to a close with a very mellow session anchored in a sense of the whole body as a space of practice and, indeed, of beauty. We hug ourselves, rest and move into a full, detailed body scan opening into a beautiful passage of mantra chanting courtesy of the Plum Village community’s rendition of the Avalokiteshvara mantra<\/a>.<\/p>\n After the voices die away we are invited just to sit for 25 minutes in a meditation of our choice.

We start with another exercise to help us connect to and be present with our bodies. Then we’re straight into some substantial Dharma engagement with an excellent evocation of the lakshanas<\/em><\/a> and kleshas<\/em><\/a>: considering the way things are and the things that stop us seeing and acting in accordance with it. SInghashri explores coming into right relationship with the body’s natural systems, distinguishing this from acknowledging karma as it relates to our actions. We’re encouraged to work sensitively with where we are, curious and interested in what holds us back.<\/p>\n This Dharma reflection sets us up well for a “Klesha Liberation” meditation, where we are invited to be present to anything in our heart-mind that may have the flavour of resistance to what’s going on or indulgence in our habits. In the background is Tilopa’s advice to Naropa: “Perceptions don\u2019t bind, clinging binds.”<\/em> To get out of the stories our minds make we can ground ourselves in safe, supportive conditions, direct our attention and attend lovingly to whatever is arising.<\/p>\n We close the practice space with some sharing based on the experience of this kind of reflection and meditation, looking at ways to create space and resource ourselves for the work.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1093806170?share=copy” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#d04b01″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”#84B29D” link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”20px” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}”]<\/p>\n Our penultimate session begins with some light arriving somatic exercises to reset the vagus nerve, followed by a recap of the retreat. We also explore how to resource and support ourselves in meditation, followed by a 20 minute sit focusing on sound.<\/p>\n After some questions and answers with the team, those on retreat discussed in chat how they feel when papa\u00f1ca<\/em> (“mental proliferation”) recedes and the mind is more spacious. This is read aloud through the sit that concludes the session.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1093827383?share=copy” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Caption” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”18px” link_font=”|700|||||||” link_text_color=”#d04b01″ link_font_size=”20px” custom_margin=”-20px||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” link_text_color_tablet=”#84B29D” link_text_color_phone=”gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb” link_text_color_last_edited=”on|desktop” link_font_size_tablet=”20px” link_font_size_phone=”16px” link_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The closing session is built around appreciation, with rejoicings in the Dharma teaching team, the team at Dharmachakra and those taking part on retreat. We then take part in a final ritual together, including listening and chanting along with a beautiful version of the Avalokiteshvara by Mahasukha.<\/span><\/p>\n A fittingly uplifting way to end a Home Retreat that has created space for some of the most pressing ways anxiety can bring us suffering\u2014and how we might develop a fearless, compassionate heart in our lives.<\/p>\n Our closing questions are:<\/p>\n Is there one thing you\u2019d like to leave behind (a habit, a tendency, a behavioral pattern, a mental state) that limits or constricts you?<\/span><\/p>\n Is there one quality going forward in your life that you\u2019d like to bring into the world?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”on|on|on” admin_label=”Internal
