Meditation: Mettā Bhāvanā
Mettā Bhāvanā - the Cultivation of Loving Kindness, sometimes simply translated as Friendliness - is one of the oldest and most powerful practices in the Buddhist tradition. It is not an aspiration to feel differently than you do. It is a training in compassion: a deliberate, gradual…

Body Scan: The Inner Landscape
This body scan is an invitation to establish inner reference before āsana practice, or daily life begins – so that we can better attune whatever follows to our inner climate. Lying in a neutral śavāsana, we’re guided to feel our body as it is, its weight, structure, and relationship to gravity....
-
Meditation on Hara
As we open the new year, this meditation invites us to cast our anchor in our Belly Centre (Hara). Across both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions this domain is recognised as our main spring of embodied wisdom. Without a clear connection to this home-ground, our Heart-Mind can feel fragile,...
-
Soundscape: The Breath Space
The Breath Space began as a live recording during Kia’s in-depth training in Paris and has since evolved into a full album with the same name, now available on all platforms. This original recording opens with Kia guiding a brief breath-awareness practice, helping us notice the subtle currents…

Meditation: Holding Grief in Compassion
Loss—whether fresh or long woven into your life, whether it’s a person, a relationship, or something less tangible—lives within us all. It shapes our days in quiet ways. This meditation is an invitation to meet grief gently, and only as you feel ready. As we hold space for our personal sorrow, it...

The Other Shore – Musings on the Heart Sutra
Recited daily in Mahayana temples throughout the world, The Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra or The Sutra of the Heart of Transcendent Knowledge is one of the most well known Buddhist teachings and is said to be the view that leads to complete liberation. In this episode, Kia shares her personal...
-
Meditation: Balancing Solar & Lunar Swara
This meditation explores bringing our Swara - the flow through our right solar and left lunar streams of consciousness - into balance. In yoga this is traditionally done through harmonising the flow through our left and right nostril where these subtle breath channels, nadis terminate. There are...
-
Body Scan for an Attuned Practice
An embodied approach to yoga requires us to learn our body's subtle language so we can attune what and how to practice to care for its changing nature. Opening and closing with a Body Scan is a powerful way to strengthen our capacity to use own inner reference system for growing somatic...
-
Resonance Breathing
Resonance frequency breathing is a very simple, yet powerful practice for restoring balance in our body, breath, heart and mind. The word resonance is defined as synchronicity or harmony between elements. It’s a way of breathing where we consciously slow down our breath cycle in a way that brings...
-
Meditation: Listening Deeply
Kia opens our meditation by sharing a quote from electronic music composer Pauline Olivero's work Quantum Listening. It's an invitation to listen with care and attention. Listening deeply in this way sheds light on the invisible forces that transpires around, within and between us - our inner and...
-
Savasana: A Journey into the Rain Forest
We invite you for a Savasana-Journey: A divine relaxation that takes us to Mother India, the homeland of yogic practices & ancient wisdom teachings. We travel deep into a protected rain forest in Karnataka. In the lush soundscape of the jungle, we find a clearing where we lie down. In this...
-
Meditation: Shamatha Practice
Shamatha means Calm Abiding or Peacefully Remaining and is the foundation of Buddhist Mindfulness Practice. Taking our seat and placing our attention on an anchor such as the breath, offers us a home ground, a safe but transient sensation that allows us to return to our embodiment in the present...
-
Sound Journey: The Retreat
In this episode we are taking you on a sound journey to one of my retreats in the Spanish mountains where you find our Mountain Shala. We go here to retreat and to practice deeply. But also to simply be together, enjoy and explore. Most practitioners return year after year, and over time many...
-
Meditation: Saṁkalpa
In our previous episode, we shared a talk on Saṁkalpa recorded live in our Borderless Online Shala. The Meditation you are about to hear was recorded during the same session. So we invite you to listen to the talk first, to lay a foundation for the meditation. Saṁkalpa is a very particular word…

Meditation: Breathing Into Wholeness
The tendency of our distracted mind is to be scattered and cut off from the direct, physical sensations of our body. When we are caught in thinking of the future or past, we leave the nowness of our breathing body. Our body and mind separate from one another. The division between body, heart and...
-
Soundscape: The Breath Space
The Breath Space opens with Kia taking us through a short breath awareness practice where we awaken to the Pranic & Apanic patterns that cause the shape and pulse of our body to change with each breath. With fluidity and spaciousness arising from within, we bring ourselves to Samastitihi where we...
-
Meditation: The Breath in the Belly
The most direct portal to presence comes through being awake in our body. Many people think of meditation as a practice solely for the mind, reaching some alternative, transcendent state. But mindfulness meditation is above all a fully embodied practice. In this meditation we let our awareness…

Savasana: 108 OM
It´s time to take rest. We prepare our Savasana as if for our most beloved in life. Offering this gift of care and kindness to ourselves. The practice of Savasana is passive, receptive. We allow ourselves to be held unconditionally. Our nest, a divine resting place. Now lie down, close your eyes...
-
Meditation on Sound
Perhaps the most accessible gateway to begin a meditation practice is through Mindfulness of Sound. Sounds are always happening in the present moment, they arise, change and dissolve. We cultivate a sense of spaciousness for sounds to arise without clinging, rejecting, or being distracted by…

Talk: One Year in our Borderless Shala
This is a live recording from March 29th 2021, one year since we moved our community to our Borderless Online Shala. ”Personally I feel the Shala and its community have never been more important than this last year. As a refuge, a sanctuary – not in a sense of hiding away from the world, on the...
-
Soundscape: The Inner Shala
The biggest illusion about the Path of Refuge is that we have to journey somewhere else to find this sacred space. Ultimately our refuge is not outside ourselves or somewhere else, but it is always and already here. We are taking refuge in the truth of who we are - our Inner Shala. This practice...
