  • Guided meditation: two types of focus

    Guided meditation: two types of focus
    Aug 22 2023
    In this guided meditation, we'll start with cultivating focus with an object by imagining light flowing down through the body. But then we switch to "object-less" meditation, which is less well known. As you practice, see if you can notice what it feels like to cultivate each type of focus. May you and all beings be well. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/buddhist-wisdom/message
