Lody Levy is a Buddhist Psychotherapist working inBrisbane. She has a well-established meditation practice over many years and regularly attends retreats in the Zen and Insight Meditation tradition. She is a graduate of the Insight Meditation Institute’s Mindfulness and Compassion Teacher Training course. Lody believes that meditation, compassion and mindfulness are essential qualities to cultivate if we are to live a wise and compassionate life, especially in these challenging times.
In this series, Lody is concentrating on the Brahma Viharas.
Mindfulness and concentration practices in the Buddhist tradition are developed to gain insight into the nature of existence, leading to an awareness of our interconnection to all of life. With an established mindfulness practice, we can actively cultivate the boundless qualities of the heart, which arise naturally and spontaneously when we are able to see into our true nature.
The Brahma Viharas (qualities of the Boundless Heart) are cultivated in both meditation and in our actions in the world and are essential qualities of living a compassionate and joyful life and can sustain us at these times of witnessing enormous suffering in the world.
