DAILY MEDITATION – LENTEN JOURNEY 2023

​

Lent is a tradition that commemorates the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert. Lent is an opportunity to transform our lives and become agents of transformation in our communities. This season is a time to practice generosity, kindness, patience, simple living, moderation, forgiveness, and sacrifice.


As Jesus was tempted by Satan, also we will be tempted to give up our goals as our everyday lives greet us every morning with new challenges. But we don’t have to face the wilderness on our own. Scripture tells us that Jesus is with us in this journey. Let us walk together as a community, finding strength, support, and inspiration in one another.

Every morning, we will gather to consider the day ahead of us. Some of us will be inspired to share their thoughts and feelings. Some of us will be called to offer a prayer. Some of us will offer a brief spiritual practice to help us stay focused. Some of us will share a brief reading that will inspire us throughout the day.


We challenge you to take part in this 40-day journey with the Beyond the Walls community. If you can’t join every day, do it whenever you can. We’re looking forward to walking this path with you.

Tree of Life Meditation

Tree of Life Meditation - The tree of Life is a universal archetype that symbolizes the interconnectedness of heaven, Earth, and underworld. We will consider this mytheme in today's mindfulness meditation. Our approach brings together the modern, secular mindfulness techniques and research, as well as the perspectives of the ancient contemplative traditions from East and West, primarily that of Zen Buddhism. These sessions are open to everyone: we welcome all religious and ethnic backgrounds, and gender identities and expressions. We respect all spiritual types and sensibilities, from those who simply want to achieve deep relaxation, manage stress, anxiety, and depression, to those who walk the path of spiritual growth. You decide what the meaning of your meditation is. The first section is guided. We will help you find the right posture and breathing rhythm. We focus our mind and explore our consciousness envisioning images and considering ideas that draw together ancient thought and mythology from the Eastern and Western traditions with up-to-date theories in the fields of neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy of mind.
