Today's Infinite Being focused on Trust and the Past. During these times specifically, we are being asked to look at our past in new ways. You may have noticed this with recent flashbacks, nostalgia, regrets around your past. It can be said to be astrological in nature (shifting of the nodes) as well as natural at the beginning of a new year. Either way, looking at our past with new eyes is very powerful during these times. It is more than healing…it is Awakening a New You here. 

Also includes:
I Trust Prayer 
Meeting Your Past Self Meditation

Let yourself settle here on the Earth. Feel how the Earth can completely support you. You can let go. Let the heart be soft to receive whatever arises with compassion. Invite presence. Acknowledge the waves of experience.

Opening The Heart Meditation — Jack Kornfield

When I first entered the monasteries in Thailand and Burma, I was taught everything is anicca (impermanent), dukkha (unsatisfactory), and anatta (no-self). The reason these were repeated over and over again is because if you see these, you see with the eyes of wisdom. Because everything is changing, the more you cling and hold on, the more you suffer.

To free ourselves, we need to quiet the mind through some mindfulness in meditation.
Then, instead of identifying with the changing conditions, we learn to release them and turn toward consciousness itself, to rest in the knowing. My teacher Ajahn Chah called this pure awareness, "the original mind," or resting in "the one who knows."

As the Jiddu Krishnamurti said, “It is the truth that liberates, and not your efforts to be free.”

With practice, we discover the selflessness of experience; we shift identity. We can be in the midst of an experience, being upset or angry or caught by some problem, and then step back from it and rest in pure awareness. We let go; we release holding any thought or feeling as "I" or "mine." We release the whole sense of identification, and the conditioned world is just anicca (impermanent), dukkha (unsatisfactory), and anatta (empty of self) -- it has nothing to do with our true nature. We learn to trust pure awareness itself. This is one of the ways Ajahn Chah taught about liberation. Awakening is always here and now. Practicing this way, your life is transformed.

The Most Basic Truths: Gateways To Freedom Dharma Talk — Jack Kornfield

Let yourself be settled. Turn your attention to here and now, and the present experience. You can rest on the Earth with ease and trust in this moment. With this embodied presence, begin to notice the experiences here and now. There will be sensations of the body, sounds, emotions, feelings. A parade of images and thoughts will come and go. You can take your seat just where you are, in the midst of these rising and passing experiences.

Here And Now Meditation — Jack Kornfield

In India, when people greet one another they put their palms together and bow, saying namaste, “I honor the divine within you.” It is a way of acknowledging your Buddha nature, who you really are.

When I was training as a Buddhist monk, I witnessed an aura of straightforwardness, graciousness, and trust around my teacher Ajahn Chah. Here was a community dedicated to treating each person with respect and dignity. In the monastery, the walking paths were swept daily, the robes and bowls of the monks were tended with care. We learned to value ourselves and others equally.

Whether practiced in a forest monastery or anywhere else, mindfulness practice begins by deliberately cultivating respect, starting with ourselves. When we learn to rest in our own goodness, we can see the goodness in others more clearly.

Mindful Respect Dharma Talk — Jack Kornfield

The inner practice of liberation is not an individual matter. One of the deepest realizations that comes when we meditate, as we pay attention, as we live a life of care and loving awareness, is the growing sense of interdependence. There is no separation between our body and the body of the earth. The minerals of the soil make up our wheat and our bones, the storm clouds become our
drinks and our blood, the oxygen from the trees and forests is the air we breathe. 

The human community is equally interconnected. If we meet together in harmony and respect, care for the vulnerable among us, tend to the environment, and respect our citizens and neighbors, we will thrive and prosper.

Wise Society Dharma Talk — Jack Kornfield

This album was our first creation and since the recording back in 2009, my voice depth, feeling and the production level of succeeding albums had left this one a little behind. I felt that the songs were timeless and deserved better. So I decided to bring the songs up to the production level of the other albums and first we tuned them down to 432Hz (which is the new frequency that I play music in) and then I sang it again. I hope you enjoy the vibes. 

"ONE""These songs and Mantras are about re connection. They are a gift to the many hearts remembering the 'ONE'. I feel that the most effective way to make a positive change in the world is to create something so beautiful that people just want to be part of it, and inspire others to do the same. I was honored to have so many good friends in the community of Byron Bay (Australia) join me in weaving this album and accompanying book to share our vision of hope for humanity, freedom, and love of Creation. 
May these songs help guide you home to the heart... 
']ts only a shadow that cannot see the light of day'."

Through a simple yet direct guidance to observe the play of life with detachment, we discover the difference between the ego and the Self. 

We are also reminded that each response from the Master is universal food for all, and not miss our chance for transcendence by holding onto the sense of a unique personal question or problem.

“This exercise has been followed for thousands of years. Many came out of the prison house of personhood and won themselves back. 

Anywhere you sit resting in your being, that place becomes your temple, your mosque, your cave.”

This transmission is for anyone going through a transition right now. It is essentially a journey from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly. In the caterpillar stage the old life is falling apart and uncharted territory looms. This uncharted space is the cocoon which is there to prepare us to leave our familiarity zone. Beyond the cocoon a new life is slowly forming. This new life is the butterfly stage. If you are entering the cocoon or about to enter then that life may seem far off at the moment. This transmission will help you embrace your journey, wherever you are along the spiraling path.

The Butterfly Transmission: Let Go, Enter the Void, Awaken!

This is a recording of a live webinar I held to offer our prayers for the Amazon. It includes a guided meditation journey to offer a Healing vibration for our beautiful Sacred forest. As we do, we observe the damage that is being undertaken by humanity and ask for forgiveness on behalf of the collective. We offer healing light. We hold space for those who are undertaking the damage to shift themselves. And we hold the highest intent for the Amazon to thrive, revive and restore.

There is great power in collective group prayer, in shifting consciousness. This is why so many individuals are awake during these times right now - because each individual has offered their frequency into the collective, to raise the consciousness of all.
