Healing from the Heart
Learn a sequence of time-honoured meditations called taking and giving that heal both mind and body. We can use these meditations when we are suffering, or when others we care about are suffering. And we can practise them in meditation and in our daily life.
This ancient meditative practice is the best way to transform all types of difficulty such as pain, illness, and anxiety into an opportunity to strengthen our inner peace, love and compassion. Taking and giving is a beautiful, profound method to transform our problems and the sufferings in this world into the very means for experiencing love, joy, compassion and wisdom. This practice brings mental peace and happiness, increasing our spiritual strength and capacity to overcome challenges while developing the supreme good heart of a Bodhisattva.
Everyone is welcome to these classes, regardless of previous experience.
