Dear Friends,<\/p>\n
We are about to start another month-long exploration of ways to support a daily meditation practice. I’m so honored to have you as part of this community.<\/p>\n
The theme we will be exploring this month is the four ways of establishing mindfulness<\/em> – mindfulness of the body, of feelings, of the mind, and of phenomena themselves. I will be basing my outline for the month on the book The Four Foundations of Mindfulness in Plain English<\/strong><\/a> by Henepola Gunaratana, but I’ll provide links to other talks and practices, so there’s no need to read along, unless you’re so inspired.<\/p>\n In addition, I plan to have some weekly structure, so that we can investigate different aspects of mindfulness:<\/p>\n All the emails will be archived to this\u00a0blog<\/strong><\/a> I’ve set up for this project: I’m grateful for the guidance and support from Jeanne Corrigal<\/a>, the Community Dharma Leader for the https:\/\/saskatooninsight.com\/<\/a>. I also wish to acknowledge the inspiration and guidance I’ve received from other teachers and leaders on this path, including Susie Harrington<\/a>, Jill Shepherd<\/a>, Sebene Selassie<\/a>, Doris Larson, and Jennifer Keane<\/a>. (Any errors or misunderstandings are my own.)<\/p>\n So stay tuned for the first email tomorrow!<\/p>\n With warmest wishes, Dear Friends, We are about to start another month-long exploration of ways to support a daily meditation practice. I’m so honored to have you as part of this community. The theme we will be exploring this month is the four ways of establishing mindfulness – mindfulness of the body, of feelings, of the mind, and of phenomena themselves.\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[102],"tags":[103,32,73,104,105,51,70],"class_list":["post-299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jan-2018","tag-henepola-gunaratana","tag-jeanne-corrigal","tag-jennifer-keane","tag-jill-shepherd","tag-sebene-selassie","tag-susie-harrington","tag-welcome"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=299"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1430,"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/299\/revisions\/1430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.grzesina.net\/meditation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n

\nI have comments open for the newer posts, and I invite you to share your thoughts and feedback with the rest of us there, as I’ve found having a supportive community is such a beautiful way to stay inspired to practice.
