Letting Go (30 min) Jun 12, 2021

Show notes

Whether you are religious or not there is an extraordinary power in learning to let go. A core teaching from the great masters of old is, to use the old phraseology, "to submit to the will of god". In contemporary, non-sectarian language we might say "letting go" or "allowing the universe to unfold" or "practicing non-resistance". Whatever you'd like to call it, it is like a superpower of healing. So you can use this meditation to help you do that.

Injured? Ill? A little loving kindness can help (10 min) Jun 07, 2021

Show notes

This guided meditation walks you through the ancient Buddhist practice of Loving Kindness or Metta Bhavana. But it is directed at your body instead of a being or beings. In this case the words guide you to the feet and ankles but you can use this to direct loving, healing energy to any part of your body that is injured or sick. Just replace the words "feet and ankles" with whatever muscle is sore or body part is bruised or cut or broken. It also will help with internal injuries or illnesses.

Tantra & the Bardos: Inner Dissolution (60 min) Mar 28, 2021

Show notes

Tantra is a method for realizing the true nature of reality. If we can master these practices in our human lifetime then, when we die, the we will be able to stabilize the nature of mind and achieve liberation. This ancient Tibetan tantric meditation will open you to the core energy channel that supports your life energy and open you to the radiant, non-dual, emptiness that is true reality. It also has the benefit of preparing you for the inner dissolution that comes in the first stages of death. So when that time comes for you, it won't seem as fantastical and frightening and may even become the gap through which you can achieve liberation.
