Letting be meditation is really simple, and works wonders on an active mind. Starting focusing on the body, then being mindful of our inner world - doing absolutely nothing, just being an observer.  This teaching was given at Venabu 2025, and the relevant illustrations are found here:https://dnbf.org/en/2025/05/venabu-may-2025/ - - - Please, feel free to recommend this podcast to your friends!

Denne guidede meditasjon fokuserer på omsorg og tålmodighet, som betyr å gi kroppen komfort, unngå for mye innsats for å avverge trøtthet, være oppmerksom på nåtiden − og ikke tenke for mye på fremtiden som ingen ende har. På denne måten guide sinnet forsiktig, med nærvær og tolmodighet.  Denne undervisningen ble gitt i Oslo 2024:https://dnbf.org/2024/06/hva-buddha-underviste/ - - - Anbefal gjerne denne podcasten til dine venner!

I denne guidede meditasjon får kroppen først lov til å slappe av og være fri, så flyttes fokuset over på sinnet og vi tar rollen kun som en observatør, og vi lar alt være som det er. Ingenting å forbedre, ingenting å fikse, ingenting å gjøre − bare gi sinnet muligheten til å falle til ro.

In this guided meditation, given deep into a longer retreat, the focus is on programming your mindfulness, which is not so much a doing, but a seeing. It is about reminding yourself early in the meditation what you don't want to do − problems you have had in the past, which you do not want to repeat. In this guided session, the focus goes first to the body, allowing it to be just as it is, then calming it down. Then the guiding takes you to a past experience of deep contentment and peace, and allowing your mindfulness to rest on the breath, which will lead you into peace and calm.  This teaching was given at Venabu 2024:https://dnbf.org/en/2024/04/venabu-retreat-2024/ - - - Please, feel free to recommend this podcast to your friends!

This is a guided meditation first focusing on our sensory input and allowing them to settle down, then focusing on good qualities in others and finding the same or other good qualities in yourself. Then with a settled and happy mind, moving the focus to the breath.  This teaching was given at Venabu 2024:https://dnbf.org/en/2024/04/venabu-retreat-2024/ - - - Please, feel free to recommend this podcast to your friends!

Often the meditation object, for example the breath, is too subtle to focus on, maybe because your life is bussy with work, responsibilities and being social. And a trick you can use then, is to make the meditation object bigger and more entertaining, by adding visualisations. In this guided meditation you are asked to create an imaginary beautiful peaceful place, with a little bit of repetetive movements − movements which under meditation will go in parallel to your breathing.

This guided meditation, given the first day of a retreat, focuses on establishing a lovely environment in the mind, into which we can invite whatever arrises − breath, bodily sensations, silence, emotions or thinking. The important part is our attitude when we welcome them in − allowing them in with kindness, acceptance, friendliness and warmth. After the guided meditation, some instructions are added on how to do walking meditation.
