Observing Negative Self Talk - Meditator's Way

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/04/29

In today's Sunday practice, we explore a question submitted by a participant in our group, regarding gaining traction on releasing negative self talk. From a meditator's perspective, we are not trying to fix or change anything while practicing, but observe what is, developing the skills of focus, attention and equanimity. Often we adult humans would prefer to distract ourselves from our painful thoughts and feelings with media, substances, work, or other unbalanced methods, as a coping mechanism

Fill My Bucket - Meditation as Self Care

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/04/21

In today's practice, we notice and explore the pleasurable sensations we get from regular meditation practice. Far from being a waste of time, this is an important acknowledgement of the payoff we get from contribution our sincere heart, time and energy to this physical and mental discipline. Even infrequent meditators feel a slowing down, a feeling of being very present in one's body, the relief and gratitude of noticing things we normally don't give ourselves permission or time to observe and

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2024/04/21

Painful thoughts and emotions are a fact of life. Attempting to avoid or stifle these is impossible. Sometimes people want to use meditation to shut off painful thoughts and feelings. It works differently however; one of the side effects of meditation is increased ability to sit with our painful emotions and feelings, resulting in greater compassion for ourselves and others involved in our situation, clarity and a chance to respond reflectively instead of reactively.

Welcome to Calgary Mindfulness weekly Sunday 15 minute practice! What a great way to start your day. In today's practice, we move into several new anchors for meditation - mindfulness of thoughts, emotions and sound. Sound is a very good anchor for those who are easily distracted, and have a hard time staying focused on the breath.

What better way to bid adieu to the old year and ring in the new year than to sit with our thoughts and lay down some intentions for 2024. I'm not talking about losing 20 pounds or exercising 3 times a week, as in traditional resolutions, but exploring spiritual qualities/gifts/blessings we'd like to develop--the ability to give and receive love and forgiveness more easily, wisdom, ease, peacefulness, equanimity, responsiveness instead of reactiveness, abundant thinking and a release of scarcity or

Greetings folks! Sorry about the first portion of this meditation; I was muted and didn't realize. I've trimmed the muted part of our mindfulness body scan, but won't have time to re-record it today, so I hope this will do.

Calgary Mindfulness Weekly Meditation ·

2023/12/10

We continue our exploration of heart-mind-body congruence with a meditation today on developing equanimity - that is, accepting what-is. This is not natural for humans, and it is pretty hard for some people depending upon our personalities; eg, if we are more easy-going, or more high-strung etc. That doesn't mean we have to like circumstances beyond our control or be happy about them; nurturing our ability to realize equanimity is a mental and physical discipline that requires repetitive practice
