Mindfulness All Flavours! Week 4: Breadth And Focus

By Candradasa on Mon, 15 Dec, 2014 - 21:08Here we are in our final week of the current session of online meditation! Over the past month of the Tuesday course we’ve explored sati, sampajanna, and appamada as different flavours of mindfulness - or as complementary camera angles of reflection on the practice, if you like. This time we’re going to look at how to hold all three aspects using an awareness of breadth and focus in our meditation. And as usual we’ll be doing this in the context...

#EthicalChristmas: Wildmind - The Evolution of Dana-Based Online Teaching

#EthicalChristmas: Wildmind - The Evolution of Dana-Based Online Teaching

By bodhipaksa on Fri, 5 Dec, 2014 - 16:54There’s been a rapid evolution of how Wildmind runs online courses. For years we held online courses with anything from half a dozen to 20 participants. Then we decided to start 2013 with a more public 100 Day Meditation Challenge, followed by another 100 days exploring the four Brahmaviharas. For these events I wrote a daily (or almost daily) article on Wildmind’s blog, accompanied by guided meditations.

When Mark joined the team, we...

Mindfulness All Flavours! Week 1: Sati

By Candradasa on Mon, 24 Nov, 2014 - 20:34Join us for our first flavour of mindfulness…

Over the next four Tuesdays, our course for regular meditators will be looking at mindfulness (sati, sampajanna, appamada, call-it-what-you-will!) in the context of the Five Spiritual Faculties. This will also give us a chance to explore the area of ‘breadth and focus’ in meditation, as well as generally develop and maybe even flex the great heart muscle of the spiritual life - “with mindfulness, strive on!”

By Candradasa on Mon, 3 Nov, 2014 - 14:43This week as part of our four-week Tuesday course on bringing back a bit of emotional shine to our meditation we’ll be looking at ways to work creatively within the Metta Bhavana practice, and how these can help us keep our emotional positivity going outside of formal meditation when, perhaps, we most need it…
