the practice of living awareness
Meditation changes everything!  Medical and scientific communities are finding what practitioners have realized for thousands of years - meditation leads us in the direction of greater well-being. Improved health, better relationships, and increased happiness are just some of the benefits of meditation. Meditation brings consciousness forward in your life and throughout your day in the form of awareness. Spirit Fire developed the Practice of Living Awareness to assist you in accessing that awareness and sustaining it.

The Practice of Living Awareness is a 14-step guided meditation program designed for every level of practitioner. The practice is online and always free. Each step is simple and builds upon the one before. We offer new twenty-minute guided meditations three days per week and each new week explores a new step of the practice. That's 14 steps in 14 weeks... or 14 meditative tools to use on and off of the cushion.

As each 14-step "round" comes to a completion, we take a short break and then start again from the beginning. Because our meditations are recorded in present time, each meditation within each round is new.  Every round integrates beautifully with the last, in the same way that every step builds upon the one before.

The Practice of Living Awareness, Spirit Fire's own meditation practice, is brought to you free and online and supports your daily meditation practice.  It is a habitual practice for many, allowing them to align and bring consciousness into their day. We offer new meditations in "rounds" which happen three times a year.  A "round" of our online meditation lasts 14 weeks... each week we will cover a new step with three, 20-minute guided meditations: Monday's meditation introduces the step, Wednesday's meditation explores the step further, and on Friday we will meditate on ways to apply the step to everyday life. The meditations are posted on the living awareness blog every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning.
