Mindfulness is probably the most popular and ubiquitous kind of meditation out there at the moment, and it’s great that it’s seeing so much use around the world in schools, therapy and elsewhere.

However, there can be more to meditation!

One aspect of Buddhist teaching is the four heavenly abodes, or brahmaviharas as they are known. These are emotional states that are seen as almost godly, and in buddhism are known as something that can be cultivated through different forms of meditation.

The four brahmaviharas are-

Metta, or loving-kindness.

Karuna, or compassion

Mudita, or sympathetic joy

and upekka, or equanimity.

In this course I will discuss them as I see them (because at the end of the day I am just a layman). These talks are optional. There are some simple guided meditations that are also available for download after. You can skip right to them if you want. There are longer versions of the meditations available for download on bandcamp on a pay-what-you-want basis (suggested donation: ￡5)

I also talk a little bit about forgiveness, which is not one of the brahmaviharas, but I feel is equally important and can also be cultivated through meditation.

The course is free so you have absolutely nothing to lose.
