Read in chronological order............(in other words...begin at the beginning)Not everyone who chooses to participate in The Compassion Project may be new to the practice of meditation. We are going to be working with two types of meditation which are traditionally known as coming from the Taoist Internal Alchemy tradition (Inner Smile Meditation) and the Buddhist Theravada tradition. (Metta Bhavana or Loving-Kindness Meditation)
For those to whom meditation is not new, I would ask that you continue with those postures that are applicable to your current practice or tradition. For those that are coming into this new, I would suggest that you sit comfortably on the edge of a chair or stool, spine erect, with both feet flat on the floor. Position your hands, palms up, upon your knees. (We will talk about mudras (hand position) later.
Please read the links (above) and here....and here
Read, listen (several times) and decide which meditation you plan to choose to follow.
Please feel free to ask questions.
Relax.....you have plenty of time to decide.
We begin 01/15/2010
