Guided Meditation—Mental Cause and Effect [rebroadcast]

A Skeptic's Path to Enlightenment

A meditation practice of self reflection, taking control of the mental cause and effect that's normally unconscious: the habits and activities conditioned by evolution, our upbringing, society and the media. This is a practice you can do at the end of each day: reviewing your day, rejoicing in the positive, and finding ways to sincerely forgive yourself for anything that you regret, so you can sleep better and be your best self the next day.
Episode 12: Guided Meditation—Mental Cause And Effect
Four years ago, we created A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment to share the rich tradition of Tibetan Buddhist analytical meditation in a form that requires no belief beyond what science currently accepts. The first 40 episodes of the podcast gradually go through all of these topics, in order, beginning with appreciating the gift of our life and our place in the universe, and gradually moving up to cultivating boundless compassion for all beings and understanding the ultimate nature of our inner and outer realities. Over the next year, interspersed with new interviews, we are re-releasing updated versions of these topics.
We’ve just launched a new online community where Scott Snibbe leads weekly live meditations for the topics shared in our podcast and How to Train a Happy Mind book. Anyone is welcome to join for free or by donation. Visit our new community website at trainahappymind.org to sign up, take classes, attend special events, and meet fellow students.
