This may well involve questioning both our own views and approaches, as well as some of what the tradition has to say about dhy\u0101na.<\/p>\n<p data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\">Dhy\u0101na is far more than samatha, or mental calm. Recognising the liberative potential of the first dhy\u0101na was the key to the Buddha\u2019s own awakening and he taught dhy\u0101na as inseparable from insight. Only later did the tradition come to regard the dhy\u0101nas as \u2018just\u2019 states of concentration.<\/p>\n<p data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\">The dhy\u0101nas are, rather, states of deep, embodied mental unity, integrated with awareness of the foundations of mindfulness (satipatthana) and the factors of awakening (bojjhanga). Dhy\u0101na is where insight takes place.<\/p>\n<p data-prosemirror-content-type=\"node\" data-prosemirror-node-name=\"paragraph\" data-prosemirror-node-block=\"true\">In practice, we\u2019ll ask, \u2018what, in our experience, is actually helpful?\u2019 By becoming alive to the energetic immediacy of body experience, resources for entering dhy\u0101na can be discovered as already present \u2013 just waiting to be noticed. We\u2019ll explore this in direct experience and delve into the relationship between body, dhy\u0101na and liberative insight.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Home Retreat Live Session Times (click to see)&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_icon_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; title_phone=&#8221;Home Retreat Live Session Times (tap to see)&#8221; title_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; open_toggle_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_toggle_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_toggle_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; icon_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; icon_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; icon_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; open_icon_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_icon_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; open_icon_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;See the Retreat Session Times&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; closed_title_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; closed_title_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; body_link_font=&#8221;|||||||#0c3179|&#8221; body_link_text_color=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1170px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||||false|false&#8221; title_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; title_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; title_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; title_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; title_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; closed_title_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; closed_title_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; closed_title_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; body_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; body_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; body_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; body_link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; body_link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; body_link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; border_color_all_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; border_color_all_phone=&#8221;&#8221; border_color_all_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; disabled=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%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}&#8221;]<strong>First daily session (2 hrs):\u00a0<\/strong>USA PST 01:30 | M\u00e9xico 03:30 | USA EST 04:30 |\u00a0IE &amp; UK 09:30 | Europe CET 10:30 | India 14:00 | Australia AEST 18:30 | New Zealand NZST 20:30<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second daily session (1.5 hrs, with optional breakout rooms):<\/strong> USA PST 07:30 | M\u00e9xico 09:30 | USA EST 10:30 | IE &amp; 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<p><strong>Third daily session (60-75 mins):<\/strong> USA PST 11:00 | M\u00e9xico 13:00 | USA EST 14:00 | IE &amp; 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<p><em>N.B.

He explores the energy body as an approach to this embodiment, while calling on the mindfulness practice as a source of anchoring. Further deepening the meditations through reflections on the absence of an &#8216;I&#8217; in the meditator&#8217;s experience. He ends the meditation with a period of opening out into awareness through the body. <\/p>\n<p>This is followed by a period of chanting and drumming. Tejananda contextualises the ritual and practice overall as an effort towards awakening rooted in ethics.

Drawing on the \u0100n\u0101p\u0101nasati Sutta, he works with a consciously long breath, suffusing awareness through the whole body and calming body and mind; he contrasts later Visuddhimagga notions of access\/appan\u0101 with the early P\u0101li sources, and cites the Sama\u00f1\u00f1aphala Sutta\u2019s image of rapture and happiness suffusing the body (the bath-powder simile).<\/p>\n<p>A guided practice follows: settling into the sensate\/\u201csomatic cloud,\u201d discerning proliferation versus ease, then choosing what helps now (hara-based breathing, a longer breath, or simple counting) while staying with the whole-body field. In Q&amp;A, Tejananda responds to pain and strong energy\u2014suggesting widening to the full sensitive sphere, including any pleasure, and gently modulating intensity\u2014underscoring how light sam\u0101dhi and insight can develop together through embodied attention.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1157946292?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Tejananda develops an embodied approach to <em>jh\u0101na<\/em>, starting with somatic ways to meet the hindrances: locating the heart centre, sensing the central channel, and\u2014even if one isn\u2019t \u201cinto chakras\u201d\u2014briefly lifting attention above the head to brighten dullness.

The sit closes by widening into open awareness of all six sense fields, after which the group chants the refuges and precepts and the <em>Amit\u0101bha<\/em> mantra.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1158218374?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>This session centres on entering the first <em>jh\u0101na<\/em>. Tejananda clarifies the <em>jh\u0101na<\/em> factors, contrasting <em>vitakka<\/em>\/<em>vic\u0101ra<\/em> as \u201cthinking\u201d (Nik\u0101yas) with later readings, and noting discussion of <em>ekaggat\u0101<\/em> (one-pointedness). He cites Leigh Brasington\u2019s practical approach and Bhikkhu Analayo\u2019s scholarship, and nods to Rob Burbea\u2019s treatment of these themes. Practice then builds conditions rather than forcing results: settle posture, scan and soften tension, ground attention in the <em>hara<\/em>, and use either mindfulness of breathing or <em>mett\u0101<\/em> as an entry while opening to a broad, somatic \u201cwhole-body\u201d field.<\/p>\n<p>Guidance emphasises letting hindrances fall into abeyance and allowing the \u201cenergy body\u201d to show its felt qualities\u2014<em>p\u012bti<\/em> (energetic pleasure) and <em>sukha<\/em> (quiet happiness)\u2014maintained with minimal effort (even a light inner smile).

He brings out the link between satipatthana, the Jh\u0101nas, the hindrances and awakening; bringing attention to how the hindrances arise and cease with the Jh\u0101nas developing and deepening insight into the awakening factors. Sati, dhamma nik\u0101yas (investigating experience), virya, piti, tranquillity, samadhi, vipekkha (insight practice), This follows a period of meditation that deepens and builds on the previous sessions&#8217; exploration of the first 2 Jhanas. This is followed by questions and answers and a short ten-minute break.<\/p>\n<p>In the second period of the session, Tejananda gives some more instructions on working with the different dhyanas as centring in different parts of the body. He focuses on the third Jh\u0101na and the image of the body suffused by a lake. This is followed by a period of meditation exploring the third Jh\u0101na.<\/p>\n<p>He ends the session by taking some final questions.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1158480697?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Tejananda Wakeman encourages us to inhabit the whole breathing body while letting go of any image of \u201cthe body\u201d and any stance of a separate observer\u2014attending instead to a mass of sensations. Guidance emphasises allowing p\u012bti and sukha to gather with lessened conceptual activity and greater unification, using the image of a spring bubbling up from the lake bed to suggest a more spontaneous ease as attention deepens.<\/p>\n<p>Tejananda gives a short reading from the K\u0101l\u0101kar\u0101ma Sutta (with its refrain of non-conceiving across the senses) and recalls B\u0101hiya\u2019s teaching\u2014\u201cin the seen, just the seen\u201d\u2014as a pointer to direct knowing. The session includes chanting the Praj\u00f1\u0101p\u0101ramit\u0101 mantra and ends with a brief period of just sitting, widening into awareness of all six sense fields.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1158572805?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Tejananda continues the <em>jh\u0101na<\/em> training, recapping how to work with the first and move directly into the second when <em>p\u012bti<\/em> is over-strong.

Guidance emphasises letting p\u012bti quiet and allowing sukha to permeate the body as sam\u0101dhi unifies; effort then softens, moving into just sitting and widening into awareness of all six sense fields<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1158873279?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Tejananda frames a short <em>jh\u0101na<\/em> sit and then leads chanting.

The sit concludes by releasing into open awareness\/\u201cjust sitting,\u201d receptive to whatever arises across the sense fields.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221;

The sit then eases into just sitting, resting in spacious, unaffected awareness.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1159302792?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Tejananda leads a guided traverse of the four <em>jh\u0101nas<\/em>.

The guidance tracks the shifting balance of p\u012bti and sukha, moving the centre of awareness through the heart and lower torso, and opening into a boundless, spacious field where bliss arises of itself and settles into quiet peace and equanimity.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1159737289?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>This session guides a meditation that opens from embodied awareness into the <em>jh\u0101nas<\/em>: attention settles in posture and relaxation, notices what is prominent in experience, and relates lightly to any hindrances through the awakening factors (<em>sati<\/em>, <em>dhamma-vicaya<\/em>, <em>viriya<\/em>). The breath is used as an anchor within a broad, whole-body \u201csensate cloud\u201d, tuning to pleasure, well-being, happiness, and calm as the practice moves through the first three <em>jh\u0101nas<\/em> and towards the equipoise of the fourth, with awareness relaxing into a spacious, effortless steadiness.<\/p>\n<p>From that basis, Tejananda introduces a pointing-out teaching attributed to Guru Padmasambhava, unpacking three contemplations: past thoughts leave no trace, future thoughts are not yet arisen, and present mind rests in its own condition without fabrication. The emphasis stays on recognising <em>rigpa<\/em>\/<em>vidy\u0101<\/em> as ordinary, lucid clarity without an observer, and the session closes with chanting the Padmasambhava (Vajra Guru) mantra.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_video src=&#8221;https:\/\/vimeo.com\/1159874196?share=copy&#038;fl=sv&#038;fe=ci&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_text disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Caption&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; link_font=&#8221;|700|||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#0b55c6&#8243; link_font_size=&#8221;20px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-20px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; link_text_color_tablet=&#8221;#84B29D&#8221; link_text_color_phone=&#8221;gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb&#8221; link_text_color_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; link_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; link_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; link_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-6e11b5e3-f634-40b8-8318-80dc6999eedb%22:%91%22link_text_color%22,%22link_text_color_phone%22%93}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>We start the closing session of our retreat with Tejananda with a longer meditation, open to the vastness of loving kindness in all it&#8217;s unconditional beauty. The invitation is to remain embodied in our experience and notice deeply what&#8217;s arising between our sense of mind and body. We can work with any hindrances that come up, we can just sit and be present to the sensate body, the subtle energies that pervade it, and the different states and experiences that can emerge, including pleasure and wellbeing, which can open us into equanimity.<\/p>\n<p>After the sit, Tejananda is open to more questions asked by participants on this retreat, which should prove helpful for any depth engagement with dhyana. He responds creatively to as many as he can! And we end with some rejoicing in his generosity in offering yet another wonderful online space for sustained meditation practice.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=&#8221;on|on|on&#8221;
