Live meditation stream through youtube

[andyjohnsonman]

I was just watching Eckhart Tolles new video where he addresses this pandemic saying "Humans don't awaken in their comfort zone, they awaken when they are out of their comfort zone. This is a time of great opportunity." He talked about using this time wisely as a great opportunity to go deeper through adversity. It got me thinking that he should do a live guided meditation that could be available for the millions of people quarantined at home right now. Does anyone know of any live guided meditations? I think they would be pretty powerful. There's many people doing virtual pubs where you video call your friends and  have a few beers and a chat. I think this would be a great time for virtual meditation.

Hi @andyjohnsonman   do you have a preference for which tradition of meditation?  I sometimes catch the meditation & teachings on Sangha Live which is a general Buddhist orientation  https://sangha.live/   
This week there is a daily meditation with Martin Aylward  https://sangha.live/sunday_sangha/daily-meditation-23-03-2020/  
If you're into Zen there's Treeleaf Zen sanga https://www.treeleaf.org/ 

These are just 2 online meditation groups I've come across but there's no doubt others. I wonder if there's any mileage in us Actualized.org people trying to do something if we have people who know the technology? To move us on from all this talking about it to doing it together

Hi Silene. Thanks for the websites. I had a look at them and signed up but they are a bit out of my price range. I thought with everything thats going on right now with the massive move towards online classes for everything that there would be some spiritual teachers doing live stream online meditation on youtube in a time where a lot of the world is run on fear we need it more than ever.  I am yet to come across any but if as i am currently in self isolation with free time I think doing group meditation would be a cool thing to do. I have done om meditations before as a group and really enjoyed that. If you wanted i would be keen to do something and if we could get more people from this forum to do a group meditation i think that would be great. We could set up a time and get each others Skype accounts and i feel a lot of benefit would come from that.

I thought Sangha Live's Sunday online live sessions are free? But I know what you mean, I'm surprised more spiritual groups aren't trying to create online contact at the moment. Fixed times to meet up would be difficult for me though, my life depends on what's going on with my family. Plus we're spread over many time zones so maybe a drop-in approach would work better?  There's something in the forum guidelines about not setting up new groups so it would need to comply with the mods.
