Podcasts about natural meditation

In developing dharma practice, we seek to maintain present moment awareness, mindfulness, and our connection to the heart in all our postures, all the activities of our lives.  This is "Natural Meditation."  In this talk, Peter Doobinin describes the skill of Natural Meditation and the great benefits in developing this skill.  The talk is the third in a series on "Basic Skill" that Peter offered in June 2024.

“One reason meditation is such a powerful tool on the spiritual path is that it's a safe place to completely give up control. You can sit down, and just let go…and let go…and let go. You can let go of every attempt to control reality, every attempt to control your inner experience, every impulse to control how you feel, every attempt to control the mind. This radical practice of relinquishing control in meditation is a very direct way to start to get a taste of what it means to be truly natural.” —Craig HamiltonSpiritual teachings often describe the goal of the path as entering into a “natural state”—a way of being that's utterly easeful, uncontrived, and completely genuine. This natural state allows us to simply be ourselves, without effort, flowing with life as it unfolds. But how do we achieve this profound simplicity? Though it sounds like it should be easy, being natural is often challenging in practice. Most of us have spent a lifetime cultivating habits of control, striving to shape reality to fit our will. How do we let go of these tendencies and truly embrace a natural way of being?In this episode, Craig shares an approach to meditation designed to easefully open the door to this profound naturalness. By learning how to let go of any attempt to control your experience, you'll discover what it means to surrender to life without resistance.The podcast includes a guided meditation, so please set aside a quiet space to be fully present and open to this transformative journey.If you're interested in exploring more of Craig's approach to meditation, you're invited to tune in to a 90-minute online workshop Craig will be hosting called Meditation 2.0 – The Miracle of Direct Awakening.

Original airdate: June 28, 2022 Enlightenment can be found in the most unexpected places, including in Western literature. According to my guest, Dean Sluyter, there's a lot we can learn from several beloved classics.  We can read Hemingway as haiku, learn mindfulness from Virginia Woolf, see Dickinson and Whitman as Buddhas of poetry, and Huck Finn and Gatsby as seekers of the infinite. In this interview, we'll learn more about Dean's unique insights into mindfulness and awakening. Dean Sluyter has taught natural methods of meditation and awakening since 1970. His five highly acclaimed books include the bestsellers such as Natural Meditation. Dean gives sessions throughout the United States and beyond, from Ivy League colleges to maximum-security prisons. His media appearances have included The New York Times, The Dr. Oz Show, and The Oprah Magazine. A student of Eastern and Western sages in several traditions, Dean has completed numerous pilgrimages and retreats in India, Tibet, Nepal, and the West. During our discussion, Dean explains the wisdom we can glean from several literary giants he mentions in his new book, “The Dharma Bum's Guide to Western Literature: Finding Nirvana in the Classics,” and how we can apply them in daily life. He also offers advice on enhancing our meditation and mindfulness practice.

Cate Zoltan is CEO of the Undo App, which is designed to activate self-healing through deep body meditations. In this episode we discuss how Cate found her way to the concept of natural meditation, what it means to live a more "natural life" and how we can re-connect with our "original self" through meditation, which requires slowly carving our way back to who we are at our core, seeing through the experiences, information and all else that is imposed onto us throughout our lives and daily. We ask how important TRUST is and why the lack of trust in our capabilities, in the world, in each other may be informing much of the un-kindness, insecurity or even hatred that is also present at these times. We answer the question, why all of this matters - This internal work, the attention to mental health, deep connection, emotional intelligence... If not simply for our own sakes, think of the farmer providing your food, a teacher or a supreme court judge. All of their decisions and impacts, no matter how big or small will be informed by their worldview, their relationship and connection to themselves, their biases and morals. This will impact their town, a nation, in a wider sense, the world and might mean the difference between: Petrochemicals or farming with the rhythms of nature. Providing safe spaces for children to thrive or pushing for discipline and silence. Verdicts informed by a drive to exert power and having a distrust towards certain cultures or verdicts motivated by the will to make a positive change, to build trust in the law and make people's lives easier, not harder. It always starts with us, whether we think us important or not - we are. Every living being has an impact on their surroundings and the world and how we tread this earth matters greatly. Our healing journey will have ripple affects. Our connection to ourselves will impact our external connections. If you are presently embarked on a healing journey, we are sending our loving wishes, if you would like to try another tool or take new steps towards healing, maybe you will find it with Undo feel free to use the code STELLA24 for a 14-day-free-trial in the App. Thank you for listening to this Talk

The Dharma Bum's Guide to Western Literature with Dean SluyterAired Thursday, April 7, 2022 at 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM ESTPeople read books for many reasons… some read novels for entertainment, some for knowledge, some to escape reality, some to find solutions to problems…. and some to find enlightenment… but of all the books people read and all the reasons for reading them… few would likely approach the great classics of literature with the expectation of finding nirvana. But that's about to change. Because in his latest book, The Dharma Bum's Guide to Western Literature award winning author Dean Sluyter unpacks the dharma of more than 20 major writers, from Hemingway, Whitman, & William Blake to Shakespeare, Dickinson, Salinger, Twain, & Dr. Seuss to demonstrate how inspiration and spiritual insight can be found anywhere, at any time, in any situation to inspire readers to deepen their own spiritual life and see literature in a fresh new way, as a path of awakening.DEAN SLUYTER has taught authentic, traditional approaches to meditation and awakening since 1970.

Why You Are Here You've worked hard to achieve greatness. You’ve set goals and maybe even set records. You’ve definitely failed and you’ve at some point found yourself questioning if you were on the right track.

To Dean Sluyter, author of Natural Meditation, anyone can meditate, at any time, and during any circumstance. The key is effortlessness. Beverly says, "Whatever we think, say, and do can help Activate the Power of Yes." Dean suggests that we Un-think, UN-say, and UN-do; and it's easy to see how that can be the core of deep meditation. If you're thinking to yourself, "I've already tried meditation," stop thinking and stop trying. That's a good first step!

Today on the show, Marie interviews Dean Sluyter, author of Natural Meditation.

Throw out every idea you think you know about meditation—including that it can only be learned in expensive classes, that it requires achieving a completely “blank” mind, or that meditation can only be done “properly” by people who can check off certain spiritual prerequisites. In fact, Dean Sluyter who has been teaching meditation since 1970 says everything we need to utilize the life-changing properties of meditation is already inside us. Meditation is a natural state where we simply connect with the awareness that exists inside us all, and achieving this sate is easier than you ever dared to hope. In his book Natural Meditation, Sluyter offers tips, history, and philosophy for those interested in connecting with their inner selves in the simplest way possible—with natural mediation.

This week, I speak with non-dual teacher and former Tibetan monk, Peter Fenner. Peter was a monk for nearly a decade before he disrobed, realizing that the Buddhist practices he was engaged in weren’t leading him to what he was looking for. He then looked to Western psychotherapeutic technologies, and in the process developed a non-dual teaching that relates in part to Madhyamika, Advaita Vedanta, and Western psychology. He calls this approach Radiant Mind, and in this episode we speak with him about the various aspects of his teaching, from a type of deconstructive inquiry based on dialoguing with him, to the formless “practice” of natural meditation. Listen in to hear more about this type of “fruition or results” based spiritual path.
