For 15 years, we have been teaching and leading retreats for mental health professionals and more recently, for couples as well. We share a deep appreciation for the interweaving of meditation and psychotherapy in our personal journeys and in our work with others. We are board members and faculty for the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy, a non-profit organization which offers seminars, courses, retreats, and a certificate program for mental health professionals. We are also contributing authors to Mindfulness and Psychotherapy - Second Edition, a book that gives clinicians and students an introduction to mindfulness and it's clinical applications.

The 3rd Precept: Body as TempleHUMAN BODIES are fragile
zhlédnutí 7Před dnem
they are made of organic material-flesh, bone and blood. They break, bruise, scar, hurt, ache, decay, bleed, ooze, cry, thirst, hunger, dry out, overheat, cringe, flinch, freeze in fright or cold, ingest, digest, excrete, inhale, exhale,….and only live about 70-80-90 years, if we are lucky. So we must learn to live in accord with their own unique nature and not disrespect, misuse or abuse them....

When did the phone become our best friend we can’t live without? When did we need PSA’s to tell us we need to not text in a movie theater, or when driving? How mindful are we when we pick up our phones? Consider deliberately creating scroll-free time in the day as well as scroll time. (Susan) 06.26.2024

So grateful for you both. 🙏
I liked your interview in meditation steps .. ❤❤ It would be better if u have good camera and mics .. Content wise videos are great
Where you guys located
This is excellent. Well said. I love that Bill patiently, quietly, calmly meditates next to Susan, suggesting to our minds to do likewise as we ponder these ideas in our own lives. I made a new year's resolution last year to be more deliberate in all my actions, and it helped quite a bit. It is a practice that takes diligence and willingess to pick back up and try again when we slip back into our old habits. Thank you for sharing this. All my love to you both.
This was timely for my life today. Thank you for these little meditative dispatches into the ethers. 🙏
I appreciate your work so much. 🙏

What a beautiful share. What is this teachers/practitioner's name?
I also would love to know.
Ageing is the most marginalized group which seems to engender embarrassment and dismissal among everyone in the United States. Even among western Buddhists, there is no active acknowledgment, Accommodation or appreciation of the needs that are present.
ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ ?
Thanks for this teaching. I turned 60 in September and gifted myself my first tattoo that represents “transformation of mental health through awareness and compassion.” May we age with humor and grace.
