Learn to Meditate: WBC Basic Meditation Instruction

These are recordings of live presentations. They are meant to serve as a refresher primarily for those that attended one of these sessions, or for those that are too far away to attend one. Since they are live, they are a bit rough and also include periods of silence when folks are actually meditating.

We hope that you find them helpful! 

Progressive series of detailed instructions:

• Talk One: Mindfulness-Awareness Meditation

• Talk Two: Deepening the Practice and Working with Obstacles

• Talk Three: Introduction to Embodied Awareness Meditation
