George Haas

|
|
New York Insight Mediation Center welcomes Mettagroup founder George Haas as a guest teacher for the November 6 meeting of the Buddha and Bill W. group. Viewing addiction as being in essence an attachment disorder, George has created the Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process program. Combining traditional meditation approaches, the relapse pattern theories from the work of G. Alan Marlatt, PhD., and John Bowlby’s Attachment Theory, the techniques and strategies covered in Meditation Interventions for the Addiction Process (MIAP) are specifically designed to support healing for people dealing with addiction and addiction-related issues. As evidenced by George’s own personal path, mindfulness meditation-based skills training can offer a truly effective behavioral change in the realm of addiction.

Tuesday Night Teacher-Led Sit with Lama Rod Owens
56:30
|
|
Lama Rod Owens
|

The great Black American singer and songwriter Stevie Wonder once sang, “Love’s in need of love today.” His words couldn’t be more true as we face a global community struggling with war, poverty, illness, climate instability, and the rise of political authorities and governments who do not seem to be grounded in compassion or kindness. We speak about love and attempt to practice love but some of us are losing faith in the transformative power of the wish for ourselves and others to be happy. Our practice of love is in need of our renewed faith in love. In this talk, we will be exploring the question of how practicing love can become a strategy that resists and undoes our experiences fear, apathy, and numbness as we attempt to live and love in a challenging world.

Going Against the Stream: Guided Meditation
34:59

|
Martin Aylward
|
|
|
2500 years ago, Buddha taught meditation and inner inquiry as a revolutionary practice; Training the mind and freeing the heart to turn against the streams of greed, negativity and confusion that we see habitually affecting both our own inner lives, and driving the dominant forces of society.
How can we genuinely explore and deeply understand how these currents and habits operate, so as to find an inner freedom and ease, and to make a wise and effective response to the world we live in?

Access to Awakening: Divine Sourcing vs. Self-Sourcing Morning Talk
57:25
|
|
Amma Thanasanti
|
|
|
The Buddha taught that that key to peace, joy and happiness is release: a state of mind and heart not driven by a relentless insistence that life, in this moment, be other than as it is. This capacity for freedom is available every moment yet is often obscured by our agitated minds and wounded hearts. When we shift away from self-sourcing and turn towards any one of the many facets of awakening, and start divine sourcing we let go, and experience what is timeless, luminous and boundless. This day-long retreat will combine the steady focus and insight of Vipassana meditation, with the relational practice of inquiry to find our own access to awakening.
