Samadhi Guided Meditations
Whether you are getting started in meditation, or you are interested in deepening your meditation practice, this series of 1 hour long guided meditations is designed to cultivate the concentration and equanimity needed to realize Samadhi.
Introduction
A brief overview of the core aspects of meditation, as well as how to optimally engage in this series.
Part 1 – Breath as the Bridge
Detailed guidance from the gross to subtle experience of the breath
Part 2- The Hindrances
Working consciously with hindrances such as pain, sleepiness and busy mind transforms them from being problems to opportunities.
Part 3 – Prana
Penetrating into the breath more deeply, the observer begins to merge with the spiral of life itself.
Part 4 – Know Yourself
Strip away all that’s changing; the relative, and realize your true nature; the Absolute.

Zoom Meditations
A selection from our weekly Zoom meditations. These guided meditations generally combine both self inquiry (short path) approaches as well as insight meditation ( long path) approaches.
Pain as Purifier
All experience – even that of physical pain/discomfort – can be used to purify our consciousness. Tanya Mahar guides us through a vipassana practice that can help reduce suffering/resistance around challenging physical sensations, then touches down in the Emptiness or Open Knowing within which/as which all sensations arise and pass. (30 Minutes)
Nurture Loving-Kindness – for Yourself
We practice unconditional compassion and loving-kindness (Metta) for ourselves in this meditation with Tanya Mahar. (30 Minutes)
Cultivating Tranquility via Ratio Breathing and Restful Physical Sensations
In this meditation, Tanya Mahar shares a breathing technique which can stimulate the parasympathetic system (relax, rest and digest functions), then leads a practice to further cultivate a relaxed state of mind/body through contacting restful or neutral physical sensations. (30 Minutes)
Mental Talk as Gateway to Disidentify with Thoughts/Self
In this meditation, Tanya Mahar guides us to explore the auditory aspect of thoughts in a way that can help us disidentify with them, and perhaps contact what lies beyond them. (30 Minutes)
