A couple of years ago, while meditating, I learned something kind of embarrassing: anger feels good. Although we may consciously experience it as upsetting, somatically it feels a lot like the first rush of an opiate — a tingling warmth on the insides of your elbows and wrists, in the back of your knees. Realizing that anger was a physical pleasure explained some of the perverse obstinancy with which my mind kept returning to it despite the fact that, intellectually, I knew it was pointless self-torture
Meditation House
Welcome to the Meditation House
Currently, we have two scheduled daily meditations:
7am and 8:15pm, Pacific Time.
Additionally, we have a big group sit once a week on Wednesdays at 8:15pm Pacific Time.
We enter the meditation by "Announcing ourselves" with the word "here" or a brief dedication. All are welcome.
Note: You will need to login to the website before you "Announce yourself," otherwise you will show up as "Anonymous."
Meditation Timer
If this is your first time meditating, there are audio instructions under the #5 (9 min.) and #6 (15 min.) selections under the Meditation Timer below.
There are also excellent written guidelines, courtesy of John Callahan
