IRest Yoga Nidra / Guided Meditation for Inner Strength

From birth, and throughout every moment of your life, being is a quiet background presence that’s always with you but that can go unnoticed until it’s directly pointed out. Take a few moments now to feel back through your life and notice how the feeling of being has always been with you. To realize that you are Being is freedom.

Wholeness through Just Being

Practicing Tonglen is a powerful way to connect with yourself and all of humanity. We all experience sadness and other "negative" emotions at different times, yet when we do, we often feel very alone in it. This practice reminds us that we're not alone when we are in pain. If we have the courage to break the habitual pattern of pushing away the pain, we can experience deep compassion for ourselves and all beings.

For whatever we see every day in outer reality is actually nothing more than a projection of our own inner reality. - Lama Yeshe
