(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) This meditation establishes a gentle and caring presence through bringing the image and felt sense of a smile to various domains in the body. We then settle with the breath, and practice relaxing with whatever arises, letting life be just as it is. The underlying intention is to regard all experience with a clear, interested and friendly attention. The gift is a homecoming to our naturally loving presence.

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) Perhaps the most universal place to collect and deepen attention is the breath. This meditation begins with an intentional breath that calms the nervous system, and then opens to a clear, intimate presence with our natural breathing. With breath as our home base, we practice returning again and again when the mind becomes distracted. As presence grows, we can let the breath be in the foreground, and include whatever waves of life come and go. This brings a quiet mind, and a peaceful, happy heart.

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) When we live from our mental control towers, we are in a trance that confines our life. These two talks look at the primary ways we are conditioned to leave embodied presence, and the consequence of unlived life—being cut off from our vitality, intelligence and compassion. We then explore the teachings and practices that guide us to reconnect to our senses, and the sacred presence that underlies all lived experience.

Her kan du downloade en gratis meditation mod stress (se længst nede på siden). Den varer 10 minutter, og du får en version både med og uden musik. Jeg har lavet den til dig, der vil have en pause i din dag, der giver mere klarhed og ro. Herunder kan du læse et blogindlæg (som du også kan lytte til som podcastepisode), hvor jeg forklarer nærmere om, hvorfor og hvordan du kan bruge meditation til at mindske stress og få mere klarhed og ro i sindet. Jeg kommer ind på følgende: At meditation virker mod stress - også selvom du har svært ved at holde fast i en jævnlig meditationsrutineDa jeg selv opdagede meditation og den første gang, mit sind faldt til roHvad videnskaben siger om meditation som medicin mod stressInstruktioner til den enkle guidede meditation mod stress, og hvordan du kan bruge den i din dagligdag. Meditation virker mod stress - også selvom du har svært ved at holde fast i en daglig vane Jeg ville ønske, jeg kunne sige, jeg er typen, der formår at holde fast i en urokkelig daglig meditationsrutine, men det er jeg ikke. Jeg falder ind og ud af rutinen, og over årene har der været lange pauser. Især efter jeg fik børn. Til gengæld har jeg erfaret, at meditation gør en kæmpe forskel - så derfor tilstræber jeg at have det som en fast del af min dagligdag. Jeg er af den overbevisning, at jævnlig meditation kan være fuldstændigt revolutionerende og give dyb forandring. Og især har jeg erfaret, at meditation mindsker stress, og derfor er meditation en vigtig del af mit stressforløb RO. Der er ingen tvivl om, at en fast vane med meditation er det, der for alvor kan gøre en forskel og mindske stress i det lange løb. Men min erfaring er også, at selv ganske få meditative øjeblikke i løbet af en dag kan gøre en stor forskel, og det samme kan det at lytte til en guidet meditation i ny og næ. Frem for alt er det vigtigt, at du ikke dropper meditation på forhånd, fordi du ikke tror, du kan holde fast i vanen over tid. Begynd med at lytte til den 10 minutter lange guidede meditation én gang og se, hvad det giver dig. For nogle er det en god oplevelse med det samme, og for andre skal der øvelse og gentagelse til. Men fælles for os alle er, at vi skal starte et sted. Da jeg selv opdagede meditation og den første gang, mit sind faldt til ro Nu om dage er meditation noget, de fleste ved, hvad er. Mindfulnessbølgen hentede meditation ind i psykologklinikker, lægepraksisser, erhvervslivet og dagliglivet for mange. Eller i hvert fald viden om meditations gavnlige effekter, for sandheden er, at det nok er de færreste, der rent faktisk praktiserer meditation til daglig. Jeg blev for alvor præsenteret for meditation, da jeg begyndte at gå til yoga for første gang. Jeg boede i London under ét af mine sabbatår og gik til yoga i en gammel kirke hos en yogalærer, der var omkring 90 år. Han guidede os i en lang meditation efter hver yogatime, og hans nærvær og ro smittede. Her oplevede jeg - nok for første gang siden min barndom - at mit sind faldt til ro. Det var en rørende oplevelse og også en oplevelse af mere klarhed, ro og forbindelse til mig selv og verden. Det blev begyndelsen til, hvad jeg vil kalde en gradvis psykologisk og åndelig opvågnen, der tog fart i løbet af mine 20'ere. Siden har jeg praktiseret meditation og lært om meditation på forskellige måder både som privatperson og som psykolog. Jeg har dyrket tai chi, qi gong og yoga og er også uddannet qi gong-instruktør, og disse bevægelsesformer kan ses som en form for meditation i bevægelse. Jeg er uddannet i Mindfulnessbaseret Kognitiv Terapi (MBCT) og Mindful Self Compassion (MSC). Jeg er uddannet i brug af meditation i psykoterapi ved Tara Brach, har været på retræter med Alan Wallace, Eckhart Tolle og en lang række andre kurser, workshops, retræter og onlineforløb. Sidst men ikke mindst har jeg læst en kæmpe mængde bøger om emnet både fra en videnskabelig vinkel, en buddhistisk vinkel, en taoistisk vinkel,

Aquí te comparto una práctica guiada, de más o menos diez minutos, que te permitirá adentrarte al Vipassana de manera sencilla y clara. Esta meditación corta está inspirada en la forma en la que Tara Brach (psicóloga budista y maestra de meditación) enseña a sus alumnos y consultantes: es una verdadera indagación sobre el tiempo presente. BUDISMO SIMPLE es una serie sobre algunas ideas del budismo de forma franca, directa y en castellano básico, así como todo lo que conversamos en Budismo en zapatillas.

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) While we all need to customize meditation, this is particularly important for those living with PTSD or strong, potentially overwhelming emotions. This talk explores how trauma cuts us off from wholeness, and is accompanied by a deep and painful experience of shame. We look at the ways meditation can be adapted to cultivate sufficient safety for the full transformational healing of mindfulness to unfold. The gift of processing trauma is that the place of woundedness becomes a gateway into profound love, healing, and freedom.

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) This meditation can help us to access a relaxed attentiveness, or alternately, serve as a pathway to ease-filled sleep.

Today's guest is Naomi Yano, a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist who has experienced what it is like to hit rock bottom, which helps her relate to her clients and effectively support them. Their daughter was born prematurely in 2010 and had severe brain damage. They found out that she could not continue on and would have to be taken off life support. In addition to that, while that was going on, her husband was having an affair. After their daughter died, her husband left her to go with the person he was having an affair with. She lived through horrible moments and felt like she was losing her mind and didn't know what to do. She emphasizes that it is logical to feel terrible after going through a horrendous experience. She sought help from different professionals, self-help courses, and support groups. Her biggest turning point was taking a course on mindfulness-based stress reduction, or mindfulness meditation, for several weeks. This helped her ride the waves of her emotions and accept them as another experience. This helped her identify the different feelings she had and her reaction to each one and treat these as information. Naomi was then able to take action to let go or resolve these emotions accordingly.Who is Naomi YanoNaomi is a Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist. She assists individuals in overcoming challenging, recurrent relational cycles. She also helps them in developing emotional closeness with others and managing difficult or overpowering emotions. She holds an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Certification, serves as a clinical supervisor for therapists in training, and is a supervisor of EFT in training.Her strategy incorporates studies on the effects of attachment theory on relationships and emotional experiences. She predominantly employs Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy. The instructors of mindfulness and self-compassion like Tara Brach, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Kristin Neff have inspired her work. She also admires Brené Brown and Dan Siegel a lot.For healthcare professionals, Naomi offers expert guidance in the form of case consultations and the establishment of private practices.For adults, she provides solo or couple's therapy, which focuses on relationships, and offers relationship assessments.Check out NaomiWebsite: https://www.emotionalicu.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/emotionalicu/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/naomiyanoRP/ Book: https://www.emotionalicu.com/my-book Connect with Chad:Strategy Call: https://calendly.com/mrtenacity40/pgi-coaching-consultWebsite: https://mrtenacity.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-osinga-b62a08b1/FB: https://www.facebook.com/108630534048340IG:https://www.instagram.com/mr._tenacity/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrtenacity40

He is author or co-author of over 140 articles and chapters, 15 books, and 9 trauma-related psychological tests. His recent (2019) book with Guilford Press is Treating risky and compulsive behavior in trauma survivors. In the Buddhist/mindfulness domain, he is co-editor of Mindfulness-oriented interventions for trauma: Integrating contemplative practices (Guilford), and author of three chapters: Mindfulness, insight, and trauma therapy; Working with trauma: Mindfulness and compassion; and When people do bad things: Evil, suffering, and dependent origination.

Joseph Goldstein explores the tendency of desire, how we can understand this driving force of Samsara, and how we can practice being free of it.“Desire is not an insignificant conditioning in us, and it takes many forms. And it's really not the form or even the object that's terribly important or interesting. It's that force, it's that energy, it's that habit pattern of wanting. When we don't see it, when we're caught, when we're identified with that wanting mind, it obscures the natural freedom of mind. It obscures the recognition of the open, empty, selfless nature of awareness.” – Joseph GoldsteinNEW Meditation Series: Pause, Breathe, Be Here Now with Ram Dass, Sharon Salzberg, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Joseph Goldstein, John Lockley, Ram Dev, Trudy Goodman, Lama Tsultrim Allione—FREE January 16 to 25.

The CSM Podcast is back with a Dharma talk from David Nichtern about stepping onto the path of meditation and settling into practice.It is the new year, now is the time to sit down, settle in and dig into mindfulness and meditation practice. The question is, what are you doing that gets in the way of your practice taking root? In this episode, David offers wisdom that every beginning or struggling meditator needs to hear. Transform your meditation practice with Dharma Moon's 1-on-1 mentoring program: 1:1 MENTORING"There is another expression of practice, 'Hasten slowly and you will soon arrive.' There is a built-in tension between our momentum to try not to be where we are... and this instinct that is coming in just to settle in and be who we are; where we are; when we are. We are going to let that play out a little bit... We are not necessarily going to outsmart it - manipulate it and bend it to our will - and then on the other hand we are not going to be able to avoid it. Then you are in the sweet spot, and I think that is a kind of texture of practice that is very powerful." - David Nichtern NEW Meditation Series: Pause, Breathe, Be Here Now with Ram Dass, Sharon Salzberg, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Joseph Goldstein, John Lockley, Ram Dev, Trudy Goodman, Lama Tsultrim Allione—FREE January 16 to 25.

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) The Buddha taught that this whole life – including our thoughts, feelings and actions – arise from the tip of intention. While our intentions are usually marbled with wanting and fear, when intention comes into the light of consciousness, it unfolds into its most pure essence. This talk explores ways that when we are stuck in reactivity, we can become aware of intention, and find our way to the aspiration that expresses our most awake and loving heart.

(Insight Meditation Community of Washington DC) We leave presence by contracting into thoughts and resisting the changing flow of life. This meditation guides us in gently releasing thoughts and opening to this mysterious life, just as it is.

Keeping on theme with the roaring ‘20s, this year has been a doozy.

Consumers' attention has shortened throughout the years but customers will always look for a great experience and appreciate being given value.In this episode, Tom Coburn talks about the best kind of interactive experiences on a website and the most effective kinds of quizzes for eCommerce brands. He also shares some valuable tips on how and when to capture leads. Listen and learn in this episode!Key takeaways from this episode:Quizzes provide a better shopping experience on your website, drive more sales, and help brands with data-gathering. When most people see an email popup, they close it immediately. Instead, it's more effective to have your pop-up be a prompt to take an interactive quiz.E-commerce marketers are trained to remove steps, but it's the equivalent of asking someone for their phone number as your opening line. People don't want intrusive, in-your-face experiences. They want to engage with content and they want something valuable given to them. You're balancing capturing leads, driving sales, and giving people a good experience. The right balance is to do the lead capture before the product recommendation but make it skippable. Don't make it required. Your quiz must be optimized for every device.Try to start with some fun and engaging questions. The biggest drop by far in quizzes is on the first question. Once they answer the first question, there's an average completion rate of 85-90%. Getting that first click is crucial. The quiz type depends on the channel, the environment of where the consumer is, or how high or low in the buying funnel they are. Don't position the click-through rate as the main KPI from your quiz. It's more about what happens after the first click. Recommended Tool: Loom https://www.loom.com Recommended Podcasts: The Tim Ferriss Showhttps://tim.blog/podcast/?amp Tara Brach https://www.tarabrach.com/talks-audio-video/ Sam Harris https://www.samharris.org/podcasts Recommended Audiobook: My Big Toe by Thomas Campbell https://www.audible.com/pd/My-Big-TOE-Awakening-Audiobook/B00DICF4B2 Today's GuestTom Coburn is the CEO of Jebbit, a no-code platform that helps brands design quizzes without technical support.Connect and learn more about Tom Coburn and Jebbit here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomcoburn?trk=public_profile_browsemap Website: https://www.jebbit.com/ We love our podcast community and listeners so much that we have decided to offer a free eCommerce Growth Plan for your brand!

This episode was recorded in 2021. Sarah Sarkis's introduction in her own words: I received my MA from Boston College where I studied Counseling Psychology. I then began my doctoral training at George Washington University with an emphasis on Adult Psychotherapy from a psychoanalytic perspective. Upon completion of my doctoral studies, I completed my internship and post-doctoral fellowship training at two inpatient psychiatric hospitals in the Boston area. There, I worked with people who were suffering from the most severe and retractable forms of mental illness. Those experiences taught me the deep and enduring value of comprehensive and collaborative care from a multi-disciplinary perspective. I carry those lessons with me to my current work in my private practice, where I emphasize and utilize my partnerships with physicians, naturopaths, and functional medicine doctors and nutritionists to provide the best standard of care. In addition to my psychology training, I've studied extensively the use of mindfulness, functional medicine, hormones, and how food, medicine, and mood are interconnected. My influences include Dr.'s Hyman, Benson, Kabat-Zinn, Maté, Gervais, and Gordon, as well as Tara Brach, Brené Brown, Irvin Yalom, Howard Stern, Steven Kotler, and Bruce Springsteen, to name only a few.
