This is a short talk from the Thursday morning meditation group on intentions. I made a mistake somewhere and did not record the meditation portion this week, so we just have the talk!

The Thursday meditation group is a donation-based sitting group open to all. You can learn more and sign up via email or WhatsApp at https://OneMindDharma.com/group.

This is part of our series on practicing mindfulness in everyday life. Last time we spoke of mindful eating. Today I want to talk about a different way we consume, as it relates to media. We’ll cover how we can bring mindfulness to the shows we watch, music we listen to, news we read, and more.

Today’s dharma talk centers on the idea of turning toward life. We quite often react by averting from aspects of experience. Some moments can indeed be difficult. But even in the painful moments, we can still benefit from turning toward life.

The post Turning Toward Life appeared first on One Mind Dharma.

Part of our series on Mindfulness in Daily Life, we’re talking about food today! We will of course cover mindful eating, but also mindfulness as it relates to shopping, digestion, craving, and more.

I am not here to offer dietary advice or tell you how you should or should not eat. Instead, this talk focuses on tuning into the entire experience of eating with mindfulness, loving-kindness, and wisdom.
