Through Buddhist insight and simple mindfulness practice, you’ll be invited to notice this dynamic in yourself and discover a sense of ease and release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this class, we’ll reflect on how subtle forms of clinging or “thirst” can keep stress, dissatisfaction, and suffering alive in our experience. This clinging, however, can be reprogrammed to help us awaken to our truth. You’ll be first introduced to a key Buddhist mindfulness teaching with an adjacent meditation to help eradicate this clinging over time. We will start with a Dhamma talk and then move into a guided meditation of about 30 minutes. The class is designed to leave you feeling more grounded, spacious, and at ease with whatever arises in life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Bradley\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith a deep commitment to bringing ancient meditation practices into modern life, Bradley guides students and executives through transformative journeys of self-discovery and inner peace.
