The ground of loving kindness is seeing the basic goodness in ourselves, each other and our world. This is what gives rise to pure appreciation, friendliness, love and the felt-sense of belonging. In this talk we explore what obscures and contracts our perceptual field, and the pathway of purposefully awakening this transformational capacity of cherishing all life.

Cultivating Loving Kindness

This heart meditation guides us in how to cultivate a deep quality of friendliness in relating to our inner life and each other. The gift of this practice is a direct sense of belonging – knowing that we can never be alone (given on retreat).

Heart Meditation: Loving Kindness - Befriending our Lives

Reflect on the value of a peaceful heart. What is it like to have a peaceful heart among the worldly winds of praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, fame and disrepute? These are the worldly winds that constantly change.

It's important to stop, take a pause, and feel that we are part of something so much greater than the individual life that we live. Our awareness is big enough to hold all of this, because we are awareness itself.

Meditation: Gateway to Presence

The breath can be the resting point you return to during daily life. Stephan Pende guides a gentle breathing meditation which helps you to find a peaceful place in the midst of your experience. 

Resting In The Breath

True listening arouses an open receptive presence that can be truly healing. This meditation awakens a listening presence; first bringing that receptive awareness to sensations and sounds, and then offering that presence to the tenderness and vulnerability of our heart.

Meditation: Listening to Our Heart

Meditation - Relaxing, Smiling, Being Here - TaraBrach

This track was recorded during a London workshop September 2016. The presenter is Steve Ahnael Nobel. Crystal bowls and Singing bowls played by San Lau and Steve Nobel.

Just as our physical body has psychical boundaries so too our psyche, our inner world, has “energetic boundaries” that protect the integrity of our inner world and keep out harmful influences. These boundaries, cannot be seen with the outer eye but they can be seen with the inner eye or second sight. There are practical ways to strengthen your psychic boundaries. Find silence and solitude on a daily basis. Take the time to notice the different energies at play within your being. Honour your emotions. Practise speaking your truth as compassionately as possible. For deeper work use this transmission to explore the structure of your energetic boundaries and play with healing, loving, cleansing and strengthening the various forces within you.

Using the crystal grid of the earth, the energies of the Central Sun and angelic energies you will journey deep within the psyche. This meditation helps to sweep clean the psyche of foreign or alien energies. It also helps to restore good psychic boundaries. It also aids in deep energetic healing of vulnerable inner aspects that perhaps you have not met for sometime or were not even aware existed within you. This includes a meeting with your inner child and inner parental parts.

Healing Psychic Boundaries Transmission. Loving All Aspects of the Self.
