Impermanence Meditation [rebroadcast]

A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment

A guided meditation on impermanence that helps us release fear and anxiety to embrace the constant change at every scale of reality: from particles, possessions, homes, and the environment, to our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, and relationships. When we embrace impermanence, we more easily take on challenges like today’s Coronavirus crisis. We become more fully present to those around us and we can even more deeply appreciate life’s impermanent pleasures.
Episode 10. Guided Meditation - Embracing Impermanence
Four 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 are re-releasing updated versions of these topics.

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!
