Guided Meditation - Letting In Love

Tibetan Buddhist Meditation - Uma Neave (Spender)

Allowing is effortless, but it takes effort to not allow this moment. For this moment is already present, already perfectly what it is. In the vastness of your own heart even resistance is allowed. 

Allowing this moment to be what it is

Tonglen (giving and taking) is a method for connecting with suffering — ours and that which is all around us — everywhere we go. It is a method for overcoming fear of suffering and for dissolving the tightness of our heart. Primarily it is a method for awakening the compassion that is inherent in all of us. We begin to feel love both for ourselves and others and also we begin to take care of ourselves and others. It awakens our compassion and it also introduces us to a far larger view of reality.

Healing Through Tonglen

It is painful to exclude a person from your heart. In this meditation you are invited to soften that pain and see a difficult person in a different way. It might change the way you relate to that person as well. 

Loving - Kindness With A Difficult Person

Gratefulness is a felt sense of wonder, thankfulness, and appreciation for life. Emerging research has recently started to draw attention to its multiple benefits.  People who are  grateful have been found to be relatively happier, more energetic, and more hopeful and to report experiencing more frequent positive emotions. Stephan Pende guides you into a gratefulness meditation using a simple mantra.

Body Scan Meditation - 20 Minutes

Former monk Stephan Pende leads a meditation on cultivating a loving gaze and explains how to find peace in the midst of intense experience. He explores how to work with the subconscious gossip, which is obstructing a direct relationship with our experience.  

1. Beyond Mindfulness - The Loving Gaze

There is a simple, obvious truth: there is no such entity as “me”. That is the main insight in all paths of liberation. There is no separate, solid entity called "me" or "self" anywhere to be found. The sense that there is something like that is the root cause for all suffering.  
Because of this mistake you feel you live in a prison, spending your life  protecting and trying to make happy something that was never there to begin with. Seeing through this illusion is simple and straightforward.

2. Beyond Mindfulness - Exploring Selflessness

Mindfulness supports you in your capacity to be present in moments of emotional turmoil, neither suppressing the feelings nor getting lost in them. Stephan Pende shares methods on how to be in an emotional tsunami.

Body Scan Meditation

What you’re looking for, is what is doing the looking. That which sees and looks is what is looked for! And that can’t be found. Because it’s not been lost. It’s been looking all along. At the deepest level, you’re holding the answer you’ve been looking for. The answer is in your hands. It’s in your own being. You ARE what you’re looking for. You ARE What you’ve always longed for.

You Are Already What You Seek

It is helpful is to become aware of the inner judge. The inner judge is an agency within us that criticizes, judges, compares, condemns, blames and attacks us and others mercilessly and constantly. Stephan Pende share insights and meditations on how to cultivate self-compassion.
