Dharma Talks
By Mindful Valley Teachers

How to Let Go
It's easy to say, "I should just let go." It makes sense, especially when the stress and pain of holding on is in our face. But how do we do it? In this talk we explore how the practice of mindfulness meditation creates the conditions for the mind to spontaneously let go on its own.

Mindful of Expectations
Just sitting down to meditation can set up unconscious expectations of "self improvement." Knowing and becoming mindful of this can free our meditation practice.

Mindful of Perceptions
Perceptions of the way we want the present moment to be can obscure our ability to see things as they are. Kind of like pasting a picture of the freeway on the inside of your car windshield and hitting the gas.

Good Meditation, Bad Meditation
Or how to use Success and Failure in meditation and in life as practice
