SUMMARY:Online: Get Your Sit Together
DESCRIPTION:Online: Get Your Sit Together\n \nwith Bodhipaksa\n \nThursdays\, April 6th – 27th\, 2023 | 7:00pm – 8:30pm ET\n \n\n \nThis four-week course is designed to help you become a rock-solid daily meditator. \nFor a long time after I learned to meditate\, I found it impossible to keep my practice regular. Even experiencing the very positive benefits of meditation first-hand wasn’t enough to motivate me to practice regularly. I’d meditate every day for a few weeks or even months\, but then I’d start missing days — sometimes lots of days. \nEventually I managed to become the rock-solid daily meditator that I’d aspired to be\, and when I shared my approach with other people they found it worked for them too. \nAnd so\, drawing on the latest psychological research on motivation and habit-building\, along with timeless insights from Buddhist psychology\, we’ll explore how we can commit to sit daily\, no matter what\, so that we can all experience the benefits of regular meditation. \n(This approach to motivation works for developing other habits as well\, so whether you want to exercise regularly or eat more healthily\, you’ll find something here that helps you.) \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels. Members of our Circle of Friends are eligible to receive 20% off of the Sustaining Rate via a code provided in the email confirming membership\, which you can enter after clicking the Sustaining Level registration. \n*Benefactor Level: Supports NYI’s ability to offer the Subsidized Base. \n**Sustaining Level: This level reflects the actual costs to support this program.

SUMMARY:Online: The Seven Factors of Awakening
DESCRIPTION:Online: The Seven Factors of Awakening\n \nwith Elaine Retholtz\n \nMondays\, April 17th\, 24th\, May 1st\, May 15th\, 22nd\, June 5th\, 12th\, 2023 | 9:30am – 11:30am ET\n \n\n \nJoin us for the next course in this online series exploring how to cultivate mindfulness through cultivating the Seven Factors of Awakening – these wholesome qualities that help us remember and connect to the simple joys of non-clinging. \n•This summer\, we will explore the practice of cultivating lovingkindness and the other “divine abodes” of compassion\, joy\, and equanimity.\n•In the fall\, we will look more closely at what the Buddha called the “Three Characteristics” of all experience – Dukkha (variously translated as unsatisfactoriness\, suffering\, or vulnerability)\, Impermanence\, and the not-self characteristic. \nHere is an opportunity to develop connections with other practitioners as we explore together in a non-conceptual way various aspects of practice on and off the cushion. Think of this as a learning laboratory\, and what we are “studying” is our own hearts\, minds\, and bodies. \nIn our culture\, there can be a tendency to dwell on the negative – what we need to get rid of. Our lives and meditation practice can become an endless to do list and self improvement project. \nHowever\, just as in gardening\, there is a balance between creating an inhospitable environment for weeds and encouraging the growth of flowers or vegetables\, in our meditation practice there is an integral relationship between letting go of unwholesome states of mind and cultivating the wholesome. We will explore how to cultivate mindfulness\, investigation\, energy\, joy\, tranquility\, concentration\, and equanimity.  \nEach class will include practice\, instruction\, talks\, and group dialogue and inquiry. There will also be ongoing practice assignments each week. \nRegistration:\nPlease register at the highest level that your generosity offers.\nExplanations of levels follow below.\nIf you are registering via a mobile device such as a phone or tablet\, you can scroll right and left and up and down within the below form if it is partially obscured or cut off.\nCLICK HERE to open the registration form in a new browser window.\nPlease contact registration@nyimc.org if you need assistance. \n \nRegistration Fees include Teacher Support\nNew York Insight Meditation Center has streamlined the registration fee levels.
