Fear: the Most Insidious Contagion. And its Cure.

With the intensity of recent global events, we decided to create a short video as a reminder of how essential it is that we maintain our practice. There is no better time to meditate than this moment - not just on the cushion, but to do our best to bring the elements of our practice to every experience of our inner and outer worlds. When emotions run high, it can be particularly challenging to keep observing the egoic mind and all of its conditioning without reacting or getting caught in identification. Thomas Carlyle, a 19th-century Scottish historian, coined the saying "no pressure, no diamonds" and this expression can be seen as an invitation to surrender deeply to what is, understanding that the higher the intensity of experience, the more profound the possible insights if we can remain open and present.

The practice of meditation cultivates our ability to bring our attention to what is arising and passing in each moment with an equanimity or allowing that reduces our suffering. The meditative traditions have gifted us with techniques that, for thousands of years, have led to deep purification of the self structure; a means to master our minds and free our hearts.

We have created a FREE guided meditation series to convey a sense of the meditation that leads to Samadhi (union or awakening to your true nature). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8qL2YhfbR-v6E078srKyef_CBAcdb0Xf
