A Healthy Balance: Love Versus Codependency and Enmeshment

57 min
Open

In secure attachment and love, a relationship is flexible, balancing times of deep intimacy and attunement, with times where partners can be separate without preoccupied anxiety over the moods and impulses of their partner; each partner has a healthy sense of self and supportive friends outside of their core relationship; in co-dependency, the bond is often rooted in feelings insecurity, a damaged sense of self, inflexibility and separation anxiety. This episode dives into the distinctions, then leads to a meditation that explores some of the talk's tehems.

object constancy and the psychology of protective spirits and persecutory delusions

55 min
Open

Object constancy is not just the ability to believe that core relationships are stable despite conflicts, but also the ability to internalize the soothing attributes of a secure attachment figure. In this talk will discuss how the mind can create agents as compensations during times of isolation and loneliness; we'll employ the early Buddhist practice of devanusati, or conjuring the felt sense of protective entities.

Open

This talk explores the origins of self-states and how to gain a greater sense of self-acceptance through connecting with these states in meditation practice.

Creating & Experiencing a Felt Shift in Life (Focusing in Meditation)

49 min
Open

This talk explores how focusing, a method of insight developed by the late psychiatrist Eugene Gendlin—especially when used as a meditation practice similar to the Buddha's Vedananusati, or awareness of feelings—can create an important shift in the way we somatically process experience, which in turn can lead to real behavioral change. NOTE: During the same week I gave this talk Tricycle Magazine appeared with an excellent article on the same subject by David Rome.

guided sunyata (emptying the mind) meditation

29 min
Open
The following meditation is my interpretation of the Buddha's wonderful teaching known as The Shorter Teaching on Emptiness. It describes how, though a series of patient reflections, we can gradually shift our attention from the busy world around us to realms of serenity and emptiness. I find it a wonderful practice, and have lead many practitioners through it on retreats. I've made it as streamlined and concrete as possible (the original teaching struck me as somewhat abstract and vague.) It was recorded live on at Dharmapunx NYC, Greenpoint meeting, Monday November 2nd, 2015.
