Ghatika Monthly Meditation 10: Motivation, Conative Intelligence and Bodhicitta with Dr. Eva Natanya

Описание: Whether consciously or not, motivation drives everything we do. Modern psychology defines motivation that is grounded in wisdom as conative intelligence, a concept which deeply resonates with the bodhisattva path of Mahayana Buddhism. In this meditation session, Dr. Eva Natanya reveals our capacity to cultivate ever more meaningful sources of motivation, and ultimately develop aspirations that transcend the very bounds of space and time.

What is Ghatika Monthly?
Ghatika Monthly is an in-person and virtual gathering held on the 2nd Saturday of every month, in which CCR expert teachers offer accessible guidance in foundational yet transformative contemplative practices. Ghatika is the Sanskrit term for one 24-minute meditation session, which is the recommended length for beginning meditators. We offer these sessions freely to ensure that anyone can access contemplative techniques for cultivating a healthier, more balanced mind.

While most of the CCR's expert teachers come from a Buddhist background, these sessions are designed to be secular, informative, and welcoming to beginning and advanced practitioners alike. At Ghatika Monthly, we hope to offer a taste of the contemplative technology that our full-time contemplatives cultivate for 8-12 hours per day at Miyo Samten Ling Hermitage in Crestone, Colorado.
