“Adding Dimensionality to your Meditation Practice”

“Adding Dimensionality to your Meditation Practice”

Author: Jeff Carreira May 16, 2020 Duration: 1:17:25
In this teaching given during a recent meditation retreat, Jeff Carreira describes five inner attitudes and qualities of consciousness - stillness, emptiness, generosity, timelessness, selflessness and not knowing - that creates the space around our practice that allow miracles to happen both during meditation and in our lives.

In a world saturated with noise, Spiritual Illuminations with Jeff Carreira offers a different kind of space. Here, spiritual teacher Jeff Carreira doesn't provide easy answers but instead invites a deeper inquiry into the nature of existence itself. Each episode feels like a personal conversation, weaving together threads from philosophy, cultural observation, and the core questions found within religion and spirituality. You'll hear meditations that are less about technique and more about direct experience, alongside insights that challenge conventional thinking about society and the self. This podcast is for those who feel an inner pull toward awakening but are weary of simplistic dogma. Jeff's guidance is subtle yet profound, aiming to illuminate the path you're already walking by pointing toward the freedom inherent in your own awareness. Listening becomes a practice in itself, a regular touchpoint for reflection that encourages a liberated spirit not as a distant goal, but as a present reality to be uncovered. The discussions are grounded yet expansive, making complex ideas accessible and immediately relevant to daily life. Tune in for a thoughtful companion on the ongoing journey of understanding who and what we truly are.
