In these times more than ever, the Buddha\u2019s teaching of the Four Foundations of Mindfulness gives us an essential framework for how to stay present, clear-minded, and living from our deepest values, whether we\u2019re meditating or in the thick of our daily lives.<\/p>\n Take part in this<\/strong> online home retreat<\/strong> to train in the relief and ease of being in the present moment \u2013 whatever that present moment looks like. How can we taste the deep excitement of opening experientially to the nature of reality itself \u2013 available in each thought-moment \u2013 right here, right now?<\/p>\n Taraloka<\/a><\/b>\u00a0is a women\u2019s Buddhist retreat centre, founded in 1985. Ever since, we’ve been offering a breadth and depth of retreats for all levels of experience, from intensive meditation retreats for the Order and for Ordination Training, through to newcomers weekends giving a first taste of meditation. But with Coronavirus we’ve had to shut the buildings – and go online to offer what we do to everyone across the globe. We’re still living and working as a residential community through lockdown, and all of the Taraloka team want to welcome you virtually to Taraloka for the live events – even if you can’t come in person right now!<\/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

sometimes seem that coming into the body is taught as a stepping stone to the \u201cReal Meditation\u201d which happens later.\u00a0 <\/span>However, it\u2019s no mere accident that Rupa (form or body) is the first of the four Satipatthanas as taught by the Buddha.\u00a0 <\/span>Mindfulness of the body is vital on the path to Enlightenment; just as one pillar of four is vital in holding up a roof.\u00a0 <\/span>Hridayagita will explore ways we can come and be with our current direct experience of being in the body.\u00a0 <\/span>What does it mean to really be here, alive and accepting of all of our sensations and experience? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Meditation:\u00a0Alive to Our Moving Body<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Sitting, standing, lying, walking: can we notice sensations shifting and changing with the shifting and changing postures? \u00a0 <\/span>You\u2019ll need a place to sit, to lie down, to stand and to move around in this exploration of the breathing body as it changes shape in space.<\/p>\n If you have limited mobility, we’ll be aware of you too in this practice.<\/em><\/p>\n Practice Suggestion:\u00a0Having A Cup of Tea<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Simple to understand and difficult to do with mindfulness: can we be fully present to the multi-sensory experience of making and drinking tea?<\/p>\n Live Event:\u00a0<\/span>Tai Chi Circles<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n In this often-powerful Tai Chi walking exploration, Hridayagita invites us to explore experientially the play between body and mind.\u00a0 <\/span>You might be surprised how much the mind affects the body and how our holding of our body affects the mind.\u00a0 <\/span>This is something we can return to again and again, especially in times of stress and anxiety, to ease our mind through use of our body. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If you are able to walk, you can participate in this \u2013 no Tai Chi experience or interest needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>Includes an opportunity to hear responses \/ ask

and emotions. We\u2019ll see how all thoughts and emotions are also felt in the body, noticing which ones lead to tension and which to ease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Practice Suggestion:\u00a0Don\u2019t Believe Your Thoughts<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n A writing exercise to examine a recent or regular incident where we were overtaken by difficult emotions and negative thoughts.\u00a0 <\/span>Do we need to believe our thoughts?<\/p>\n (Adapted from Byron Katy & Non-Violent Communication.)<\/i><\/p>\n Live Event:\u00a0<\/span>Story Beings\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n We live in and through our stories about the world. \u00a0 <\/span>Maitridevi explores the difference between helpful and unhelpful stories, and the difference between fantasy and the imagination.

this talk we turn our attention to the underlying qualities or \u2018truths\u2019 of all our experiences. We explore the changing, ungraspable and imperfect nature of all that arises both \u2018out there\u2019 in the world and \u2018in here\u2019 in me; and we look at how that might affect our attitude to our experience and to life.<\/p>\n Meditation:\u00a0Mindfulness of Dhammas<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Where do we find impermanence in our own direct experience? The constant shifts and changes of our breathing body, our senses,\u00a0emotions and even of awareness itself can show us this truth.\u00a0 In doing so we can find a deeper\u00a0sense of beauty\u00a0and freedom.<\/p>\n Practice Suggestion:\u00a0Beauty & Imperfection Heart Walk<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Go for a walk allowing your heart to lead you, being prepared to \u2018not know\u2019 and to wait and listen. Be receptive to where your heart takes you and what it shows you.<\/p>\n
