Stephen joined Steve James at the Guru Viking podcast for this bonus episode in which he offered a guided Absolute Peace Meditation.
Stephen’s students have found this meditation helpful when working with the fear and anguish of the war in Ukraine.
Steve James at the Guru Viking podcast recently interviewed Stephen about his new book Demystifying Awakening. You can view the video recording or stream audio here: www.guruviking.com
The discussion delved into topics of energetic resonance of awakening, facsimiles of awakening, confusion around awakening, how to work with intensity and blocks, fear of no-self, and much more.
Thank you to James Burns for inviting Stephen as a guest for a wonderful dharma discussion on the inaugural episode of JB Podcast.
James’s thoughtful questions invited an interesting discussion about jhāna (absorption concentration), Four Elements meditation, and how the ancient Buddhist heart practices can lead to transcendent states arising within awareness and consciousness.
Demystifying Awakening: A Buddhist Path of Realization, Embodiment, and Freedom is now available for ebook pre-order on Amazon and through other favorite booksellers–see links below.
The book conveys a path to the Awakening process, planting the seeds of practice to discover the potential that is within each of us—the realization and embodiment of our true nature.
