How can we use our body to reconnect with the present moment?John Martin gently guides us into the practice of returning to the body as a doorway to presence. He shares how disconnection from the body often means disconnection from our hearts, leading to mind-wandering or emotional reactivity. He reminds us of the Buddha's wisdom—that the body is a precious opportunity for awakening—and emphasizes the importance of repeatedly coming back with kindness, not judgment.John shares a powerful insight into his personal journey with chronic physical pain. Rather than resisting, he learned to meet pain with care and curiosity, discovering layers of tension, fear, and anger— ultimately achieving peace through non-reactivity.His technique of holding 10-20% of attention on the breath during activities like watching ballet shows how even partial presence can deepen joy.______________John Martin teaches Vipassana (Insight), Metta (Loving Kindness) and LGBTQIA+ meditation retreats. He leads an ongoing weekly Monday evening meditation group in San Francisco. He serves as Co-chair of the Guiding Teachers Council for Spirit Rock.

Learning from the networks of connection among trees and fungi, Trudy Goodman offers a dharma talk about nature, the breath, and oneness.This 2016 recording is from Spirit Rock's Fall Insight Meditation Retreat and was originally published on Dharmaseed. In this episode, Trudy Goodman discusses:The fallacy of separate self and how we tend to forget our universal connectionThe matrix of identity that we create as we practice togetherNetworks of connection in the natural world Inter-breathing and the web of connection via breathThe breath as the bridge between our conscious and unconsciousTaking the backward step, a practice in subtle relaxation and receiving the momentAllowing things to appear and disappear as the path to awakening Noticing our patterns of reaction as our body and breath anchor us Seeing the changing way of life and how it can flow through us and in usFinding freedom in the present moment Feeling more sane, little by little, through practice Tools for remembering our onenessAbout Trudy Goodman:Trudy is a Vipassana teacher in the Theravada lineage and the Founding Teacher of InsightLA.

I feel like they're supporting, modeling, and showing us a way to be together here. We can experience this web in our own breath. We inter-breathe. We're breathing not just each other's breath, but we're breathing the breath of our ancestors. We're breathing molecules that dinosaurs breathed, that the Buddha and his community breathed. We're sharing air with all creatures really, and all those who came before us, all those who are currently in existence, and this breath will flow into all the future beings too.” – Trudy GoodmanSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) In this talk, we explore compassion as a liberating force—one that allows us to stay present with suffering so we can respond with wise action. Drawing on the myth of Avalokiteśvara, the science of empathy, and the felt experience of care, compassion becomes a courageous presence rooted in tenderness and connection. We also reflect on how a deep understanding of dukkha, paired with a direct knowing of freedom, strengthens our compassion and helps us see the wish for liberation as real and available—even in the most difficult places.

He particularly focuses on three themes from the retreat, exploring each theme in terms of both its retreat context and its daily life context. The first is the theme of listening deeply to one's own "intuition" and what "calls." The second is the theme of developing samadhi (usually translated as "concentration"--the unified mind and heart and body) and in particular practicing the eight jhanas as taught by the Buddha. The third is the theme of bringing the retreat learning and explorations into daily life, and how in particular to cultivate the first two themes in the daily life context.
