Monday morning meditation in February

• February 7,14,21,28

  7am PST

Grab your blanket, a candle, and a cushion and join me every morning in January for a sit. We'll start by soothing our nervous systems, grounding into the earth, and connecting with our three centers of intelligence and then move into a mindfulness practice exploring our breath, sensation and sound in a warm inclusive way. We'll welcome our day with the intention to meet ourselves as we are. Tired, grumpy, dull, achy, joyful, inspired, all is welcome. Loosening the grip of striving and perfection. Opening to whats true and in need of our care.

20 minutes of embodied meditation every Monday in February, offered by donation with love.

I realize it can feel odd or confusing to offer a donation instead of a set cost for the practice. Going forward, I will be occasionally offering guided meditations by donation. If the practice has value to you, you offer a donation that reflects that value and your current financial circumstances. It's common in the Buddhist tradition to offer Dana for the teachings. I appreciate dharma teacher Phillip Moffitt's explanation of giving Dana.

Dana (generosity) Practice
In the Buddhist tradition, the teachings are given freely because they are considered priceless; in the Buddhist tradition we also practice dana, or generosity, by making monetary offerings for the teachings. Dana is not payment for goods or services rendered; it is given from the heart. Your generosity is a gift that supports not just the teachers, but also the Sangha, the larger Dharma community, and your own practice.

-Phillip Moffitt
