Meditation on Stabilizing the Mind and Watching Thoughts

A complete guided meditation session expanding your compassion, stabilizing concentration on the breath, and observing your thoughts.Episode 3: Guided Meditation: Stabilizing the Mind and Watching ThoughtsFour years ago, we created A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment to share the rich tradition of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation in a form that requires no belief beyond what science currently accepts. The first 40 episodes of the podcast gradually go through all of these topics, in order, beginning with appreciating the gift of our life and our place in the universe, and gradually moving up to cultivating boundless compassion for all beings and understanding the ultimate nature of our inner and outer realities. Over the next year, interspersed with new interviews, we will be re-releasing newly recorded versions of these talks and meditations.This week, watch two special events in New York City to talk about How to Train a Happy Mind, with musician and artist Laurie Anderson, and  DJ Spooky. Our new online community also launches this week, Train a Happy Mind with live meditations for all the topics from the book. Go to skepticspath.org for more details on the book events and our new community. I look forward to seeing you there!Support the Show.
