Welcome to the commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. This is our weekend practice series,

where we release a new meditation or mindfulness exercise every Saturday. So this week,

your esteemed guide is none other than Sharon Salzburg.

Sharon is a New York Times best-selling author and teacher of Buddhist meditation practices

with an emphasis on Vipasana, Sanskrit for Insight and Meta, Loving Kindness.

She co-founded the Insight Meditation Society in Massachusetts with Jack Cornfield and Joseph Goldstein

and has been leading meditation retreats around the world for over three decades.

Today's practice is all about looking at our core values and intentions which make up the majority of our

choices. Now, for this practice, you might want to be seated with a piece of paper and something

to write with. This exercise is excerpted from Sharon's full-length commune meditation course,

compassionate resilience. Now, you can access commune's in from Sharon's full-length Commune Meditation course, Compassionate Resilience.

You can access Commune's entire treasure trove of meditations,

along with yoga classes, breathwork, personal development workshops, and much more at Onecom slash trial.

Now, there are just two criteria for developing a consistent meditation ritual,

a quiet place to practice, and a commitment to showing up.

You are here, which means you're well on your way.

So let's get into today's practice.

Okay. on your way. So let's get into today's practice. Hey, it's Jeff, and I'm aiming to take better care of my skin, which we should all be doing.

After all, it's our largest organ. So for 10 minutes every day, I wear a face mask.

That's right, but not just any old face mask. I'm wearing the bond charge red light face mask.

Now you've heard me talk about their infrared sauna blanket, which I love and I bring to all my retreats.

A red light therapy really works.
