Keeping the Peace Between Sessions (Repost)

In this episode, Brother Richard explores how to carry meditation into daily life, introducing simple practices for staying connected between formal sessions.He describes arrow prayers as brief moments of connection, like tuning a radio, using a word or phrase that can be spoken quietly in the midst of ordinary activity. Alongside this, he introduces the glance of the heart, a gentle turning of attention inward that allows awareness to settle and be illuminated.These practices are designed to be flexible and practical, adapted to whatever you are doing, whether moving, working or resting. Through short moments of attention, peace is re-entered and stabilised again and again.This episode offers a moment of calm, whether you are pausing during the day or winding down before sleep, helping you weave stillness, presence and peace into everyday life.00:00 – Introduction02:35 – What are arrow prayers03:05 – Tuning in through breath and word03:30 – Adapting the practice to activity03:50 – Traditional arrow prayers04:25 – The glance of the heart06:40 – The bell08:20 – Descending into peace09:25 – Using arrow prayers to steady attention09:55 – Choosing words that feel right10:25 – Practising the glance of love11:35 – Closing bell Hosted on Acast.
