Guided Meditation - Harvesting Joy, Finding Delight in the Ordinary

David Oromith · 10 minutes · recorded November 6, 2023

The body first, searched for anything pleasant in it, comfort in the seat, clothes against the skin, the soothing rhythm of the breath. The eyes then open at least partly, for whatever is delightful to see, and after that whatever is delightful to hear, birds, wind chimes, or the relative silence. We let awareness roam the five senses, harvesting the small and trivial and multiplying it. It closes on gratitude for this precious human life and a dedication.

Genuine happiness and wellbeing Gratitude and appreciation The four thoughts that turn the mind Work and daily life Empathetic joy (mudita) Feeling tone (vedana) Open presence
