The desiring mind can pick you up and take you to the mall or Las Vegas. It can get you married or divorced. But when you're able to acknowledge, "Ah this is desire—or boredom, or fear, or loneliness," you begin to discover the heart is big enough to hold it all.

In this guided meditation, Jack invites us to receive sensations, thoughts, and feelings with mindful loving awareness.
Rest in loving awareness, relax into it. Notice the breath, feelings, and thoughts rising and falling. You are the mindful loving awareness itself, the loving witness to it all, spacious and wise.
This meditation was originally live-streamed by Spirit Rock for the Monday Night Dharma Talk in July of 2023

Enjoy this relaxing, nurturing dharma talk on the spirit of planting seeds and tending the garden of the heart.
“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has
been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed
there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.” – Henry David Thoreau
“You give yourself to life. You can’t know the results, they’re not given to you. Your gift is to act with beauty, dignity, and compassion to plant seeds. To act without attachment to the results because that’s not in your hands. You get to plant the seeds.” – Jack Kornfield
Spiritual practice requires of us a kind and devoted attention to the opening of the body as well as the heart. We cultivate the necessary space through a quieting of the mind, and invite a sense of compassion and openness into the heart. We can then listen to better understand how to become ourselves what we want the world to be. There is a profound offering in our commitment and dedication to becoming the most beautiful human beings that we can be. At the root of this offering is the desire to allow spiritual practice to be the tool with which we tend to the garden of the heart.
