Overview

Meditation enables us to discover a lasting contentment that is not subject to the fluctuating conditions of our lives and to nurture the qualities of kindness and compassion that naturally manifest from awareness itself. Rooted in the Buddhist teachings of Tibet, these practices work with basic functions of the mind, such as mindful awareness and the impulse to move toward happiness and away from suffering. In working with these qualities of mind, we gradually transform our relationship to present–moment experience, learning to approach our thoughts, feelings, and sensory experiences with unconditional warmth and acceptance.
