I came to this many times in my life, and it has guided me to face my suffering using it as a tool for healing. Yesterday, Tonglen meditation allowed me to process my pain and sorrow regarding Aaron Bushnell. Bless you Pema.
“You need to empty your mind, and relax each other muscle group until you feel like you are going to melt into the floor. Then you just let it all go. All the expectations, all the unneeded worry, all the things other people want for you but you don't want for yourself.” ― Kasie West Infinite Love Beautiful Soul! ✨❤
I am in deep dark, the kind of dark that is terror. nowhere left to go, nothing left to do. in the end, it is only you and ego facing each other. what cannot be named.
So incredibly lovely. I find it difficult to actually do the meditation because there is constant talking, with different suggestions, so it’s hard to focus on one thing
As SOON as she said breathe in CLAUSTROPHOBIA....I KNEW I was going to have troubles!! It seems like I've found a meditation that is REALLY going to CHALLENGE ME alot!! GAAARRWWWHHDDDD!!
dear Pema, please tell me, why would we do this practise? Is it an authentic spiritual practise or more psychological? Thank you, I have no past experience with Tonglen. Does the act of doing to glen for others actually alleviate the suffering of another?
It reduces our own self-referencing; reducing our and others suffering, and continues to open us instead of separate us-in our connection we are more available to the world, as a healing agent.
Because being fearful is also a type of self cherishing mind (ego). By facing your ego and watching your mind freak out over something you thought claustrophobic/scary (eg taking the sufferings of others), overtime you suffer less and increase bodhicitta because the ego lessened. It is just dark, heavy, thick, hot - not an opinion of what is your perception of what is heavy, thick and hot 😊
With all my humble respect. I don't agree We can take loads from our parents and We shouldn't try it to do it. I think the approach is not the correct. We can only receive from them. With all respect
I think it's great that this audio is available to us, i didn't know this practice existed before watching this video, stop spreading your negativity, i think we should all do this practice for you, Jacob :)
It needs to be speed up more More people will receive it and hopefully see some positive effects from it Then they will likely explore more about her work

Found Pema through her mini books offered while I was in prison. Buddhism kept me sane.
You were and are blessed To find her books. ❤️
wow....huge to share! How incredible!! If I ever had to do time...I think its something I would be pursuing!!
Were you already interested before you went to prison? What made you gravitate towards it?
I hope you are still doing well.

Pema is my superhero. Don’t know how I’d make it without her teaching. ❤️

Thank you for your support.
Very nice.
I was curious during what event this was recorded?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice but those oscillating "sound" waves are piercing through any Tonglen that I try to generate! 😄
Dear Pema, am i right that i can do this practice meaning my mother who have already died?
Thank you in advance!
Yes, she says at one point that it doesn't matter if your mother is dead or not
Why are there ads here?? 😳 😨 😨
Where should be the focus, audio or video

Be aware of the breaks

How do you rid your heart of all the darkness you took in?
You transmute it with the tenderness in your open heart and breathe it out with love.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💞
Why does she focus on claustrophobia?

By facing your ego and watching your mind freak out over something you thought claustrophobic/scary (eg taking the sufferings of others), overtime you suffer less and increase bodhicitta because the ego lessened.

Thumb down for the ads 👎👎👎

If what you say is true, then the process won’t be effective anyway.
She would do well with a serene Dolly Parton wig and inner-focused sparkle fingernails. 🙌👩🏼🦳💅🏻❤️🔥
This channel has sped up the audio to make it rank higher in search listing. Not ethical. Please downvote.
