This Aug 24, 2025 Insight Timer live event (also streamed https://youtube.com/live/iFA_PUltzxU on my Integrating Presence channel) explores mainly three often overlooked areas of the potentially many aspects of Metta (Loving-kindness, or Goodwill) on a conceptional level and in practice. One is how its opposite of ill-will comes into play. Another is the notion of consent on the levels of intention, energy, etc. And thirdly exploring if there is a baseline to metta and if there is a "deep end"

Mutually Supporting Needs: Meditation Morsels

Inner Skilled ·

2025/08/31

In the moments leading up to formal meditation—especially sitting practice—there is often a subtle transition period. What’s needed in that space? What supports a smooth shift from ordinary activity into stillness?When working with an object like the breath, it’s helpful to ask: what does the breath need? Or more precisely, what are the perceived needs of the breath in this moment? What about everything else—the body, the mind, the mood? How can the breath support those needs? And in turn, how can

(Ai assisted summary:) Brief reflections on the potential future of AI and its role in shaping human experience online. While acknowledging hopeful perspectives—such as arguments that AI lacks motivation to act malevolently—the discussion also explores more dystopian possibilities. These include scenarios where centralized AI could manipulate the internet into personalized, edited versions, distorting original content to fit hidden agendas. This leads to raising questions about digital profiling,

Outer / Inner: Meditation Morsels

2025/08/18

Outer, Inner, Micro, Macro — Zooming In and OutIn meditation, there’s often a natural noticing of where phenomena are perceived—whether they feel internal or external. For instance, we see a form with the physical eyes: the eyes meet an external object, and eye consciousness arises. Yet even with the eyes closed, visual images may still appear.At that point, there’s the internal sense faculty that receives those images, and the arising of what we might call inner eye consciousness. With experience,

Control?: Meditation Morsels

Inner Skilled ·

2025/08/13

In everyday life, there often seems to be some sense of control, agency, or choice—and sometimes, not at all. Whether or not control actually exists is a larger philosophical question. But when it comes to meditation practice, particularly mindfulness of breathing, the perception of control can feel very real. That’s what this reflection is about.Meditation often begins with short morning sessions or simple reflections—such as noticing where the breath can be felt. From there, adjustments are

2025/08/07

When transitioning into formal meditation practice—and even throughout daily life—it can be very helpful to acknowledge, recognize, and accept whatever is happening, just as it is. Instead of diving in with intensity and trying to force quick results, as is often the habit in worldly pursuits, a more receptive approach tends to be far more supportive. Rather than struggling against what isn’t present or trying to manufacture an experience, there is wisdom in simply allowing things to unfold as they

From the July 25, 2025 Insight Timer live event. The description:Hopefully you've never experienced the feeling of everyone seeming to be against you. Of course it is possible to feel this way, but it is obviously not true. And I plan to use this as a spring board to explore the perceptual strategy of 'it feels real but is not true.' We may also do some reflective exercises to see how this approach may work with past events and contemplate how to implement it now and going forwardAlso at
