Guided Metta Meditation

This week’s talk is on the difficulties we face on the path. What do we actually do with the emotions, experiences, thoughts, etc. that are difficult? We often come to practice because of some specific difficulty in our lives, yet we forget to actually approach them.

Last Updated on October 31, 2026 by Matthew Sockolov Today we cover the Seven Factors of Awakening, also known as the Seven Factors of Enlightenment. These are seven qualities we cultivate that lead to “true knowing and release.” We cover each of these seven factors, when to cultivate them, and how they are interrelated. This is a teaching that can serve us in both formal meditation practice and in daily life.

Today I sit down for a conversation with Justin Michelson. Justin is an old friend, dharma teacher, and lovely human. He’s here to discuss his new book, The Dharma of Healing. As I mention in the episode, the book is wonderful. The Dharma of Healing offers a unique and heartfelt path to working with what Justin calls “original wounds.” Listen to the episode, get to know Justin, and order his new book!
