Spotlights

Graphic and composite by New Dimensions

Mindfulness and meditation teacher Tara Brach, Ph.D. speaks of waking up to our inner radiance. Greg Levoy reminds us that a sense of wonder is the active ingredient to bring us back to our sense of aliveness and passion. Dean Sluyter advocates where he calls natural meditation and rather than “creating silence” we can discover the inner silence that underlies all thought. Gail Brenner, Ph.D. understands that beyond the self-help movement we possess the capacity to spontaneously find inner peace. These four programs, selected from our archive, feature wisdom teachers who explore our rightful inheritance of vitality and how we may reclaim our passion and inner radiance.

Sluyter says not to worry about thoughts during our meditation; they are inevitable. Often we must deal with such sounds as voices or traffic rolling by. He instructs that, “It’s all a texture of the silence, which actually you are at your core. It’s just resting in what you are in your own essence.” He also suggests that we find the meditation style that suits us. Read more »

Brenner says we are not limited, damaged or inadequate.
