Lectures and Teachings
“Your ability to teach is remarkable and I loved how you presented it, with syntheses and structure.” Peg Vernon
You will want to have pen and paper nearby no matter what level you are listening to.
The
Practice of Living Awareness Built upon the
foundation of proven eternal components
of meditation, Living Awareness Meditation
brings meditation into the present and
modern age. Though we look similar to
people from centuries ago, our subtle
structures and level of consciousness
have evolved. Awareness Meditation not
only acknowledges this but uses these
developments and grows them further.
Awareness Meditation gives the beginner to meditation the tools for increased consciousness. The practiced meditator will find techniques that open and stabilize the refined states s/he has already accomplished, thus making possible greater inclusive and non-conceptual states.

Six Gifts of Meditation - FREE Donna speaks about six gifts of meditation: smile, patience, breath, heart, effort,
and discipline. Each of these are not only gifts from meditation but are techniques
used in the Practice of Living Awareness. As each is used in meditation, they
increase in our life. This talk will enhance one’s meditative practice.
Levels of Meditation: The Path to Enlightenment(Level I) This is a practical discussion of meditation. Donna emphasizes the relationship of
our internal life to our external one, and that “as we are inside so our life is
outside.” In this discussion we are invited to use and understand these gifts, and to
see their results in our everyday lives. This teaching on the levels of meditation
arose full and spontaneously at a gathering at Spirit Fire. The levels are:
body stillness
emotional quietude
mental stability
mental acuity
mental quietude which results in luminescence
equipoise/All-Self/One-Self
samadhi
