Listen "Tonglen (Compassionate Exchange) for Neutral People. "
Episode Synopsis
How many people do we encounter each day for whom we have no feeling of attraction or aversion? Probably most people we see gives rise to a bland, neutral feeling in our minds and hearts. This indifference can and often does lead to many social illnesses which we are currenty suffering from.
Here I offer a guided meditation using the tibetan technique known as Tonglen (taking and sending) and compassionate phrases to people we do not know. The task at hand is to widen our circle of care to include more and more people. Thus creating a global tribe.
I have been practicing meditation for 36 years and has been successfully teaching meditation worldwide since 2009, giving talks, facilitating retreats, and have authored two books. I have received formal training in Theravada, Mahayana (Tibetan, Zen,) and Vedanta meditation techniques as well as Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness, MBSR, Neuroplasticity, and Buddhist Psychology. I teach from a secular voice and I am passionate about bringing timeless wisdom teachings to people of any faith, belief system, or tradition.
