Mingyur Rinpoche is now on a 3-year solitary retreat. How might we do meditation retreat with our responsibilities of work and family? In this teaching, Rinpoche gives a number of examples of how we can integrate meditation into our daily lives. This teaching was originally presented as a free monthly teaching on the Tergar Learning Community: learning.tergar.org/course_lib...
This video includes subtitles in English and Spanish.

Can attest. I have been living the life of a daily retreat while working as a janitor at a grocery store for the past 2 years. I meditate in different ways while cleaning, helping customers, talking with coworkers, eating lunch, and outside of work while spending time with friends and family, while cooking, while eating, while walking... All the time! Always *returning* intention and focus to meditation. Be it focus on breath awareness, posture awareness or subtle postures like smiling, muscle tension and relaxation, and mantra/affirmations. I like what this guy says about using counting to meditate! 1...2...3...4...5...6...... What a wonderfully simple method of maintaining focus/concentration! Over time it really does feel like every day is a spiritual retreat. Truth and Love to us all 🙏🏻❤️

So it’s useful when instead of doing one meditation in the morning (30-60 minutes in my case), you can notice your in a so called trance, and just remind yourself to return to the breath, throughout the day, and in turn this new habit will slowly permeate your daily life, and instead of being caught in negative thoughts, past & future, it will be overridden by directing your attention to the breath, or mindful eating etc?

hey guys :) how many hours do i have to meditate for retreat at home ?? i have never done any retreat and have no idea about anything ..what's a daily routine or the daily process?? could you get me through the pth ?? coz many meditators say that without this discipline process (meditation retreat) is very hard to achieve the goal of non-duality or enlightement .. thank you do much :** Namaste

@@travisbickle8008 hmmmm maybe 8,10 hours but i don't recommend that. just 20 - 30 minutes every day is good. And the rest of the day do informal meditation of anything(sound,breath,or the meditation shown above) Your first step shall be to make it a habit by doing meditation for half a year without(i am talking it seriously)thinking about how much time it takes to become meditative 24/7 or when to achieve enlightment or when to have a clear mind where you can see thoughts clearly and you never wander....bla bla bla .Abandon these things it will come naturally if you meditate. Your first step shall be building habit and it takes around a half a year.

@@travisbickle8008 I think for retreats the idea is to meditate for as much as you can manage (like, emotionally). If you can manage max 1 hour of meditation in a day, do that. If you can do 5 hours, do that. If you're emotionally able to meditate, or attempt to meditate, every waking moment, do that. Building up to it can be a good idea to make it sustainable!

It helps a lot! Just keep practicing and it will become more and more natural. At least it did for me. I incorporated a lot of different things into my life which helped quite a bit. I do daily water offerings, mantras on my lotus seed necklace and just general prayers for all sentient beings to be free from suffering. Every one of them gets me out of my monkey mind!

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZfaq channel 9 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,581 subs and > 1,000 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Thank you, Rinpoche. You are a pleasure to listen to always. You said, intention to meditate is a meditation, or intention to meditate is as good as meditation...I’m a little confused. Intention to meditate but not meditating… How does one keep that from becoming procrastination? I am quite skilled at procrastinating! LOL!

@andypeaston9473 5 жыл бұрын

You could try meditating on an answer. But joking aside, he said 'intention', true, but I think he meant in the sense of 'resolve': it is more important just to keep on meditating and not to pay undue attention to results.

When you say session does that mean we are meditating for 1.5 hours at a stretch, or does that include various activities like chanting, watching dharma talks, some meditation, and related activities? I generally fit in a dharma talk video and a short meditation at night before sleep. I'm a beginner at all of this.
