What is missing in my Life?
Christopher Titmuss
9:30 am - 4:30 pm Saturday 19 January 2019
Dharma Primary School, Brighton
Our mind can easily get caught up in what is missing in our life - love, a role, peace of mind, children, success, intimacy, fulfilment and more.
We live a life torn between what is present and what is absent.
The duality of presence and absence generates stress, feelings of failure and time pressure.
There are other ways to view the circumstances of our existence.
In this one-day workshop, we explore these issues using mindfulness, meditation and sharing of experiences.
The day will include a talk on the theme, inquiry and questions and answers.

Insight Meditation
(Vipassana)
Meditation for Healing
Be in a comfortable posture whether sitting or reclining
I am aware of the body as a living organism
I am aware of the body from head to toes
As a collection of sensations, vibrations and pulsations
Some of these sensations are comfortable
Showing no sign of difficulty for my mind
Other sensations are unpleasant, uncomfortable, and painful
I want them to go away
But they linger changing from time to time
Let me not fight these painful sensations
Let me not put pressure on myself
Let me develop patience with the process
For I have no choice in the matter
Let me remember to breathe when I need to remember
To be even-minded when I need to be
And even to smile at my helplessness
It is in circumstances like these that I must respond
To what I can respond to
And surrender what I must surrender to.
