Open Embrace Meditations: about:blank

Welcome

This blog explores how meditation and Buddhist concepts enrich our lives. Each entry builds on the concepts presented in the previous post. If you are just joining the blog, you may want to start with the ARCHIVES below and begin at the beginning. If you are new to meditation, check out the pages above, especially 'Meditation Basics' which provides detailed instruction.

If you are searching for a particular topic, check the LABELS list below for key words that describe your current concern or area of interest. You can also use the search field.

I do not represent any organization. The posts on this blog are expressions of my understanding of the concepts presented. They are dharma talks I have presented to my regular meditation class. If the words don't resonate with you, please don't take my word for it! Only you can know what is true for you. As the Buddha said, 'See for yourself.'

Your comments and questions are welcome at the end of each post. Your participation, by commenting on and sharing posts that have meaning for you helps to increase mindfulness in the world.

May this blog help to light your path & lighten your spirit.

Giving Dana

You may notice that this blog has no advertising, something most blogs rely on to continue to be able to provide content. But advertising would be a distraction to the experience of exploring the dharma, those concepts of Buddhism that can be such a value to our daily lives.
A paid subscription would be another way to support this work. But that would also be counter to the spirit of the dharma, which is offered freely to all, regardless of ability to pay.

If you are not attending classes by Stephanie Noble, here is an opportunity to give dana for the teachings by clicking on the Paypal button below. Dana is the Pali word for generosity. If this blog has meaning for you, consider supporting the ongoing sharing of the teachings.

Many thanks for your generosity.
