SUMMARY:ONLINE RETREAT - Feeling\, Joy\, Equanimity
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION HAS  CLOSED. RETREAT IS FULL. \nCultivating Equanimity and Joy\nthrough Mindfulness of Feeling\nAn online retreat with Shaila Catherine\nMay 15-17\, 2020\nRegistration is required. Scroll down to choose a ticket level. \nThis at-home online weekend retreat will focus on Mindfulness of Feeling as the second establishment of mindfulness presented in the Satipatthana Sutta. If we are unmindful\, feelings can trigger habitual patterns of sensual desire\, irritation\, or ignorance. In this retreat we will cultivate equanimity and joy through a wise response to pleasant\, unpleasant\, and neutral feelings. We will learn to recognize the difference between sensual feelings that perpetuate craving\, and spiritual feelings that support our path. \nPlease join us as we deepen our practice together through a program of live video conferences with Shaila Catherine. The online meetings will include guided meditations\, Dharma talks\, question and answer sessions\, and small group discussions. More information and a link to join the video conferences in Zoom will be emailed to you after registering. \nRETREAT SCHEDULE (Times are given in Pacific Time PDT)\nFriday\n5:30 – 7:00 pm – Opening Session – Mindfulness of Feelings \nSaturday\n8:00 – 8:45 am – Morning Meditation – Sensual Pleasures and Bodily Pain\n10:00 am – 12:00 noon –  Morning Session – Observing Feeling at the Sense Doors\n4:00 – 6:00 pm – Afternoon Session – How Craving Feeds on Feelings \nSunday\n8:00 – 8:45 am – Morning Meditation – Recognizing Spiritual Feelings and Cultivating Joy\n10:00 am – 12:00 noon –  Morning Session – Equanimity and Wrap Up \n\nVisit our Founding Teacher page for biography and photograph of the teacher\, Shaila Catherine. \nQuestions?: For more information contact meditate \nCo-sponsored by Bodhi-Retreats and Insight Meditation South Bay \n\nRegistration: Registration is required for this course.

SUMMARY:Effortless Mindfulness – author Lisa Dale Miller
DESCRIPTION:Effortless Mindfulness: Genuine Mental Health Through Awakened Presence\nby Lisa Dale Miller\nPublished by Routledge April 2014 \nThe event will include meditation and the author’s talk. \n \n7:30-9:00 Evening Program includes meditation and a talk. \n9:00-9:30 Reception with tea and treats. \nEffortless Mindfulness promotes genuine mental health through the direct experience of awakened presence—an effortlessly embodied\, fearless understanding of and interaction with the way things truly are. The book offers a uniquely modern Buddhist psychological understanding of mental health disorders through a scholarly\, yet clinically useful presentation of Theravada\, Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhist teachings and practices. Written specifically for Western psychotherapeutic professionals\, the book brings together traditional Buddhist theory and contemporary psycho-neuro-bio-social research to describe the conditioned and unconditioned mind. This in-depth exploration of Buddhist psychology includes complete instructions for psychotherapists in authentic yet clinically appropriate Buddhist mindfulness/heartfulness practices and Buddhist psychological inquiry skills. The book also features interviews with an esteemed collection of Buddhist teachers\, scholars\, meditation researchers and Buddhist-inspired clinicians. \nIn his foreword to the book Ron Siegel\, PhD wrote\, “In the pages that follow\, Lisa Dale Miller takes us on an integrative adventure\, exploring the intersection of ancient Buddhist teachings with modern neurobiology and clinical research and practice. While the work of many pioneers have facilitated the integration of mindfulness practices into health care and society by intentionally extracting them from their Buddhist roots\, this book offers a different service: it looks unflinchingly at Buddhist understandings of the origins of human suffering and how various meditative techniques were designed to alleviate this suffering by fostering a radical psychological liberation.” \nAnam Thubten Rinpoche wrote in his foreword\, “You will find that the scholarship and many years of meditation practice of the author are reflected on every page.  It is intellectually satisfying and also serves as a rich contemplative guide for mindfulness meditation and Buddhism in general. No matter what your background might be\, as scholar\, meditator or seeker\, you will find many valuable insights in this work. It is such a joy to see Lisa’s gift in presenting many essential Buddhist thoughts in contemporary language and making them come alive.” \nEffortless Mindfulness is available through Amazon\, B&N\, iTunes\, etc.\, in digital and paperback editions.\nPlease visit www.awakenedpresence.com for more information about the book.
