Mudita Meditation (Gratitude/Appreciative Joy)

This meditation is focused on helping you develop an appreciation that is authentic and grounded. We start simply with savoring a sensual experience (like food) and move towards deeper and richer gratitude (such as relationships). Enjoy!

Metta Meditation (Loving Kindness)

This practice begins with a mindfulness warm-up to arrive. It follows with finding a personal memory to elicit the experience of happiness and peacefulness in the heart and mind. It continues with finding personal experiences that elicit a felt experience of being capable and strong in the body, safe and protected and then a sense of acceptance. It follows with expanding that positive experience and sense of well-being experienced to all beings.

Vedanupassana (Mindfulness of Feeling)

This meditation is an introduction to mindfulness of feeling.

The meditation leads the practitioner to deeply understand their emotional life by beginning to observe pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral feelings and recognize the tendencies to attach or build an aversion to certain feelings.
