Mindfulness Of Feelings - The Doorway To Emotional Freedom
In this lesson, we'll be exploring mindfulness of feelings (Vedanānupassanā), the second foundation of mindfulness in the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta.
Much of our suffering comes not from feelings themselves, but from how we habitually respond. Pleasant sensations lead to grasping, unpleasant ones to tension or avoidance. Mindfulness of feelings teaches you to pause between what happens and how you react, opening a space for freedom.
Vedanānupassanā provides us with practical ways to observe sensations in the body and identify feelings without immediately reacting. Over time, this practice supports emotional clarity, steadiness, and compassion, helping you meet life with balance rather than reactivity.
Looking forward to sharing The Doorway to Emotional Freedom. See you in the lesson!
Lição 11
Mindfulness Of The Mind - Mastering Your Inner Experience
Welcome to Lesson 11. Today, we explore Cittānupassanā—mindfulness of the mind—one of the most transformative foundations of the Buddha’s teachings.
In this lesson, you’ll discover how to observe your thoughts, moods, and mental states with steady awareness rather than being pulled into them. Instead of getting caught in restlessness, judgment, worry, or emotional turbulence, you’ll learn to recognise the mind simply as it is: sometimes calm, sometimes distracted, sometimes bright, sometimes heavy—all naturally arising and passing.
Cittānupassanā teaches you to meet each mental state with curiosity, kindness, and clarity. As you develop this skill, mental agitation settles, emotional patterns soften, and spaciousness replaces reactivity. This is how the Buddha described freedom: the ability to know the mind clearly without being controlled by it.
Looking forward to sharing Mindfulness of the Mind with you. See you in this lesson!
Lição 12
The Buddha’s Blueprint For Overcoming Mental Obstacles (Dhammānupassanā)

In the previous lessons, we've explored the body, feelings, and mind states with increasing clarity. Now we take the next step: learning how to bring the Buddha’s Dharma directly into your moment-to-moment awareness.
Dhammānupassanā is more than observing the mind. It is the practice of remembering and applying the Buddha’s teachings—such as the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path—right within your meditation and your daily life through the lens of wisdom.
Dhammānupassanā becomes the doorway where mindfulness turns into insight, and insight turns into wise living and higher levels of inner peace and happiness.

Here, you’ll discover how these three qualities complete the Divine Abodes and how they work together to cultivate a heart that is open, steady, joyful, and unshakeable in all circumstances.
We will also explore simple, accessible ways to practice each quality — meeting suffering with tenderness, celebrating the happiness of others, and resting in the wisdom of balance without clinging or control. As these practices deepen, they naturally transform the way you relate to yourself and all beings, opening the doorway to true liberation.
I’m excited to share these profound teachings with you. See you in this lesson!
Lição 15
The Buddha’s Three Marks Of Existence: Why We Suffer And How To Be Free
Welcome to Lesson 15, where we’ll explore the Buddha’s Three Characteristics of Existence—the universal truths that explain why suffering arises and how freedom becomes possible. By understanding these truths, we can see more clearly why we struggle and how liberation is attainable.
The first characteristic of existence is impermanence (Anicca), which reveals that everything—our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and circumstances—continually changes. Recognising this helps us loosen our grip on what cannot stay the same, opening space for greater ease and acceptance.
The next characteristic of existence is Unsatisfactoriness (Dukkha) it shows us that clinging to what is temporary, or resisting what we cannot control, naturally leads to stress and inner struggle. When we observe this, we stop expecting the world to provide permanent happiness and begin to meet life as it truly is.
The final characteristic of existence is Non-Self (Anattā). Anattā reveals that we are not a fixed, unchanging “self.” Instead, we are a flow of changing experiences. By seeing this clearly, we gain the liberating ability to grow, evolve, and release old patterns that no longer serve us.
By connecting these three truths, you cultivate emotional resilience, reduce anxiety, and learn to respond to life’s changes with wisdom rather than resistance.
I’m excited to share these profound teachings with you. See you in this lesson!
Lição 16
Dependent Origination: Seeing How Suffering Arises And How Freedom Begins
Welcome to this insightful lesson, where we will explore Dependent Origination, the Buddha’s profound teaching on how suffering arises and how freedom becomes possible.
Dependent Origination shows that everything we experience arises due to conditions. Our thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected, and patterns of craving, attachment, and ignorance create cycles of suffering. By seeing these links clearly, we can understand why suffering happens and how to interrupt the cycle.
Through this teaching, we learn:
How ignorance leads to habitual patterns that generate stress and dissatisfaction.
How craving and attachment keep us trapped in cycles of suffering.
How mindful awareness, insight, and wise action can stop these cycles and create space for liberation.
By understanding Dependent Origination, we gain clarity about the causes of our suffering, the conditions that sustain it, and the practical ways to cultivate freedom, peace, and joy in daily life.
I can’t wait to share this with you. See you in this lesson!

Welcome to this lesson on Vipassanā meditation, where you’ll learn how to cultivate deep insight and see clearly the patterns of your mind.
Through Vipassanā practice, the Buddha invites us to observe directly the impermanent, unsatisfactory, and selfless nature of our experiences. By carefully watching thoughts, feelings, and sensations, we begin to notice how stress, anxiety, and habitual reactions arise.
By using Vipassanā to explore the impermanent nature of all things (Anicca), the unsatisfactory nature of clinging (Dukkha), and the ever-changing self (Anattā), you gain profound insight into the causes of suffering. This practice empowers you to let go of worry, transform reactive patterns, and cultivate the wisdom that leads to lasting happiness, freedom, and mental clarity.
