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...

Mindfulness All Flavours! Week 3: Appamada

By Candradasa on Mon, 8 Dec, 2014 - 17:56Join us for our third flavour of mindfulness in our continued look at how to sustain the kind of attention we bring to bear in meditation.

#EthicalChristmas: Wildmind - The Accidental Publisher

#EthicalChristmas: Wildmind - The Accidental Publisher

By bodhipaksa on Sat, 6 Dec, 2014 - 15:49Wildmind stumbled into publishing back in 2002, and has now brought out eight guided meditation CDs, with plans to publish a number of books.

Wildmind’s foray into publishing started because many meditation students requested that the guided meditations Bodhipaksa recorded for his online courses be offered in CD format as well. Bodhipaksa used the services of a local recording studio in order to record the mindfulness of breathing, development of lovingkindness, and walking meditation practices...

#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...

Preparation for the Moment of Death

In the Tibetan tradition there are six bardos or opportunities to become liberated from habitual tendencies; a to become awake or Enlightened.
