The transformation lies in gradually discovering how both we and the world are not at all what we originally supposed! Seeing this, we can begin to uproot the causes of suffering in our own experience.<\/p>\n The approach we take in Triratna can be experienced as a dynamic mandala of five key principles:<\/p>\n We progressively integrate mind and body, and discover the power of skilful and positive mental states. Then, directly penetrating and letting go of our delusions, we open more and more to the wonder of what just is<\/i>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In these meditation workshops we\u2019ll take a body-based approach to these five principles; that is, one based in the living energy of our body and being. Through being open to the energy of the body, and by becoming attuned to its actual nature, we\u2019ll discover ways to integrate all five principles into a single, embodied experience of \u2018simply being\u2019.<\/p>\n Tejananda will lead you through daily meditations and inquiries, exploring in some depth the nature of our human experience.<\/p>\n Tejananda\u00a0<\/b>has been a leading member of the Vajraloka<\/a> community for over 25 years and is known for his clarity and good humour. His retreats at Vajraloka are almost always full, so take advantage of this opportunity to access his considerable experience and insight.<\/p>\n All our classes are offered by donation. If you can, donate to allow others who can\u2019t afford it to access these vital Dharma resources when they need them most.<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you!<\/strong><\/p>\n Donate and support Dharma

practice. This week’s retreat engages with all of them in an integrated, somatic (ie body-based) way as a way of approaching both shamatha (calming\/focused) and vipashyana<\/em> (insight\/wisdom) aspects of meditation.<\/p>\n As regards your existing meditation practices, in many ways it involves simplifying and honing them down to essentials.<\/p>\n A brief overview of the integrated approach:<\/p>\n 1. Integration<\/strong> \u2013 becoming present in our experience by attending to posture, soma (body\/energy), hara<\/em> (lower abdomen), core, breath. As hindrances abate, shamatha<\/em> (calm) manifests.<\/p>\n 2. Positive emotion<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 further \u2018integrating\u2019 with the direct somatic experience of the heart centre and its qualities. Opening to any feelings that are present, letting them be what they are. Opening to kindness, sensitivity, confidence, unconditional love, compassion, etc. Allowing or simply noticing that the heart qualities are boundless.<\/p>\n 3. Spiritual death<\/strong> \u2013 now, integrating vipashyana<\/em> (insight\/wisdom) inquiry into direct experience. Using prajna (wise discernment) as a nonconceptual \u2018tool\u2019 to become experientially clear regarding our essential nature and what is. Somatically, exploring shape, boundaries, somatic space, sensations, somatic energy. Inquiring into all kinds of sense experience \u2013 including mental activities – for the substantial entity which our self-narrative posits that ‘I am’.<\/p>\n 4. Spiritual rebirth<\/strong> \u2013 the corollary of any seeing-through of a previously held illusion (i.e. a ‘spiritual death’), is the state of positive freedom from that illusion and seeing \u2018what is\u2019, in its absence. With any such deepening or paradigm shift, there sooner or later comes an arising of unintegrated \u2018stuff\u2019 (\u2018laundry\u2019) that needs integrating \u2013 this is the \u2018work\u2019 of the spiritual rebirth aspect.<\/p>\n 5. Receptivity<\/strong> \u2013 effortless and spontaneous integration and embodiment of all the previous principles. Formless shamatha-vipashyana. Unbounded, whole, undivided being.<\/p>\n At any given moment you\u2019ll be working with one of the principles mainly, but aspects of the others are potentially involved. The idea is to ‘integrate’ the successive principles \u2013 the \u2018previous\u2019 ones are carried on into the next principle that\u2019s being brought into focus.<\/p>\n

Deluded states are characterised by mental proliferation and distraction (prapanca) and little awareness of the other sense fields. So-called \u2018concentration\u2019 practices use the mental quality of attention to focus awareness on a single object \u2013 commonly the breath \u2013 and bring attention back to the object whenever proliferation resumes. Eventually, the mind quietens down. However, there are more relaxed and less wilful ways of achieving access or ‘basic presence’.<\/p>\n Posture<\/strong> is a way into embodiment and presence:<\/p>\n Getting into ‘basic presence’ \u2013 or access: Whatever somatic method you are using for \u2018integration\u2019, it\u2019s a question of addressing whatever factors are hindering you from steady presence in whatever you\u2019re focusing on. ‘Basic presence’ is when the hindrances are all in abeyance and you\u2019re basically present in whatever is arising.<\/p>\n A somatic way of addressing hindrances<\/strong>:<\/p>\n The advantage of this approach from the point of view of calming the mind (shamatha<\/em>) is that it involves the minimum of thinking about what hindrance you\u2019re in and what antidote to use \u2013 awareness \u2018unhooks\u2019 from the hindrance and returns to the soma directly and the mental activity tends to reduce of itself.<\/p>\n All the same, if these somatic approaches don\u2019t work for you, feel free to use other appropriate antidotes. The underlying question is: ‘is this reducing mental proliferation or not? Always feel free to try a different approach if the one you\u2019re using is not reducing proliferation.<\/p>\n Finding somatic space<\/strong>: Once proliferation and dullness has died down, you\u2019re in access or basic presence – you\u2019re really present in or as whatever experience is happening. Being aware of the whole breathing body, notice whether the sensations are \u2018heavy\u2019 or \u2018light\u2019 \u2013 does a body sensation have any weight as such? Get a sense of the soma as a \u2018cloud\u2019 of living, energetic and ever-changing sensations. Then, using the metaphor of the cloud, become aware of the \u2018space\u2019 in which the sensations are happening. Can you find any boundaries to that sense of space? Having a sense of unbounded somatic space is helpful when it comes to the \u2018integrated\u2019 approach to positive emotion and the \u2018boundless states\u2019 of love, compassion, joy and equanimity.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ admin_label=”Day 2 Media” _builder_version=”4.16″

global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Positive emotion<\/strong> (heart qualities)<\/p>\n On the basis of somatic integration, bring awareness to the heart centre \u2013 another aspect of the soma – as you\u2019re experiencing it now. Notice and let go of any assumptions that the heart \u2018ought\u2019 to be a certain way. What are its qualities now? Possibilities could include anything between open or contracted, blissful or painful, connected or disconnected, richly alive or just inaccessible, and so on. Be open to whatever turns up, turn towards it. Simply doing this is already an activity of metta and compassion.<\/p>\n You can drop a question into the heart, such as ‘what is the heart\u2019s wish?’ or ‘what does my heart most deeply long for?’ If you remain open, you may find a word, image or feeling emerges which reveals more of the heart\u2019s nature to you. You can, in fact, drop any \u2018existential\u2019 question or inquiry into the heart in this way. Be clear that the response comes from your heart & being, rather than from the conceptualising mind.<\/p>\n Metta<\/em> \u2013 benevolence, well-wishing, goodwill, unconditional kindly regard, or simply love \u2013 and other divine abode qualities need to be \u2018simple\u2019 to be integrated. It\u2019s fine to do the full metta bhavana practice if this is helpful or needful at this stage, but what is \u2018integrated\u2019 is the simple sense of all-pervading metta that the final stage involves. This involves first contacting metta as \u2018already here\u2019 \u2013 can you simply open to it and find it? If you just assume it\u2019s here to be opened to, you may well discover that it actually is. Then you allow it to pervade \u2018whatever is here\u2019 in direct experience, i.e. everything that we sense and are (not just what we conceive as \u2018in me\u2019). Keep with awareness of the heart and see whether the benevolence seems to be located in, or radiate from, the heart. There can come a moment when the heart centre \u2018ignites\u2019 with the divine abode quality, but don\u2019t be concerned if it doesn\u2019t happen in this way for you.<\/p>\n Then, recollecting somatic space, recognise that the boundary of \u2018what I am\u2019 is just a mental assumption and can be let go. The benevolence or compassion etc. can now become boundless, without limits. It can include particular individuals (people, animals, trees, rocks\u2026) or be \u2018without an object\u2019, which means simply for everyone and everything \u2013 there aren\u2019t any rules, let it take its course. This brings the practice into the area of spiritual death \u2013 there is just metta rather than it being ‘my’ metta, or ‘me’ having metta for ‘them’.<\/p>\n Unconditional love: this is realising that maitri is just here or \u2018simply is\u2019 \u2013 not me or mine, not ‘what I am’ in the limited-self sense (to that, it is \u2018other\u2019) but what I am in the ultimate or true sense. Thus it can seem either \u2018other\u2019 or \u2018here\u2019 \u2013 or both. It\u2019s not the \u2018metta\u2019 that \u2018I bhavana<\/em>\u2019, i.e. not what I fabricate – it\u2019s unconditional (=unconditioned) love, sensitivity, compassion, joy, equanimity, peace, gratitude, confidence-trust and other \u2018heart qualities\u2019.<\/p>\n Can I open to unconditional love that is already here and doesn\u2019t need to be developed?<\/p>\n
