As your practice deepens, you may begin to notice you are less identified with your thoughts.  'Observing without judgement' can open all kinds of new possibilities.  

This talk explores some strategies for shifting your relationship to thinking.

Mindfulness practice can get dry and rote.  When you remember why you are practicing you'll reconnect with your passion and deepest intention.  When you can sustain your practice, you may notice a number of benefits.  

Beyond the physiological and emotional boosts you'll feel, ultimately you'll notice the arising of two distinct faculties.  Wisdom is your capacity to recognize what is true.  Compassion is your capacity to allow and open to truth.

This talk explores how to manage your energy as you pursue your aspirations.

You’ll learn about four guidelines:  How to prevent unwholesome states before they arise, how to let go of unwholesome states when they have arisen, how to cultivate wholesome states that have not yet arisen and how to maintain wholesome states that are already here.

This interview with Ray and Tara explores how to work with the deepest challenges of sickness, old age and death.

You’ll learn how Ray and Tara are working with Ray’s diagnosis of glioblastoma a year ago.  They speak beautifully of how the practice deepens, how to find steadiness and how to open again and again to love.
