Thanks! 👌
Beautiful! Much gratitude 🙏🏻 n love
Just wow. You are a blessing in my life, I'll be donating soon, will send message 🙏🏼🦋
Thanks a lot for all your gifts. Your extraordinary voice is like soft butter melting in and on my body. 😍🙏🧈
WOW! ❤ This is an incredible, healing meditation! I appreciate that you went through it twice, as the butter really sunk in. I felt especially energy depleted today. Before closing the computer, the page changed and this meditation popped up, as things periodically do when there is something that I need to hear or see. I’ve learned to pay attention to such synchronicities. There was just a mild resistance before beginning, as it was past the time to begin all the tasks which I felt had to be done. However, the words “energy and “healing” drew me in. My head felt like an onset of of a migraine, my throat slightly sore, back hurting, (none of the above very bad,simply uncomfortable). Additionally, I was experiencing lower abdominal irritation; enough to make those loud gurgling sounds that can go along with slightly painful little stabbing sensations in the same area. The reason that I’ve described so much detail, is to let you know that this meditation worked for me. By the time the first part was completed, the above aches were almost gone and the sounds from my lower abdominal area had substantially decreased. By the 2nd time, ALL of the sounds and intermittent pains were completely gone! I can’t say that I’m ready to jump up and start dancing, although I’m certainly closer to that. I will definitely be able to start the work I need to without feeling like I’m dragging through every little task. Thank you, as always, for all the wonderful works and meditations that you bring to us! Your work has enriched my studies and practice immeasurably. I intend to practice this daily. ❤️🙏🏼❤️.
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Yes, it is indeed a powerful healing meditation.
OMG just loved this meditation SO much.. it’s brilliant. Hopefully I’ll get to do it everyday 🙏🙏🙏
I need this
I love you Beauty-full Being.
thank you master hakuin and thank you samaneri jayasāra for this wonderful, beneficial and healing meditation 🙏🏻💫
Deepest gratitude for sharing such a powerful meditation in your exquisite voice. I’ve been practicing this daily for a short while and it’s helping the fatigue I’ve experienced since having glandular fever some months ago. However, what I’m also noticing is healing at an emotional level… soothing of childhood wounding and feeling safer in my body. I can’t express my gratitude for what you bring to this world ❤
So pleased to know that this practice is helping you heal Carla and that you have discovered its potency. May you continue to grow more strength and greater health. 💛

Hakuin!!
I read about this meditation as a kid.
Friend, this meditation is very effective. I broke my wrist some days ago and had surgery. Using this daily. Very effective. What a gift to share! Thank you so much. ( im using others you have shared too). I cherish them all.
Sending you all healing vibes and much metta Jannie. May your time of 'rest' be very fruitful.💗💗🌻🌻
Zen master Hakuin’s The Embossed Tea Kettle translated by R.D.M. Shaw (also called Orate Gama) is also a good source for this story and several other great stories as well. 🙏🏼
Thank you Holy of my Heart❤
Thank you very much! Your readings are very enlightening!
Thank you ❤
This was so soothing. Namaste ❤
This was incredibly effective. I don't even understand why.
Thank you, dear sister.
This popped up on an evening where - after a long run of optimal health - I recognised that all is now not well. It was even painful to lie down flat. But the anticipated ache of sitting back up did not happen. This is so interesting. Thank you 🙏
Thankyou ❤
I just found this meditation & listened for the first time. I got all situated & looked at the clock which read 11:11. I thought ha that’s a cool synchronicity….then fell asleep during the meditation, which is nothing new for me. I woke up partway once, feeling really weird as the meditation played, but drifted quickly back to sleep. I woke again, only in this time silence. When I looked at the clock, it read 11:33. 22 minutes had passed.
It shows the 34 minute video played til the end, but only 22 minutes had passed. So it’s like the opposite of “lost time” you hear about. That was very strange 😬
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely heavenly
This medication it can be like mega extra scan body or very much kind of pain killer for a mind. It is no way to make any resonance against 🏵️ thank you....
Thank you for this.
This is exquisite
💛
Very nice.
Thanks for the sharing truth. 🎯♥😶🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤❤❤❤
I need a warm Thomas' English muffin😌
❤️🌟❤️
Is deep relaxation essence of meditation?
What if you can not really visualize or feel the heat of the butter? Can it work anyway just by listening to the words?
Sure, just try to feel the natural sensations of the body as you draw you attention down from top to bottom. The visualization is just to help people do this and to stay focused.
In performing this meditation, is it usual to undergo even more severe symptoms before resolution is obtained?
This can perhaps happen as a natural part of the healing process. However, it could more likely be that in doing this practice you become more aware of the sensations as you focus on being more present throughout you body. Therefore, it may not be that the symptoms are intensifying but that your Awareness of them is growing more sensitive and acute. The encouragement is to keep working with whatever arises and practice bringing the heat down from the head (thinking mind) in order to cool, balance and harmonize the body. Hope this helps.
@@SamaneriJayasara thank you so much. Great blessings.

I understand you do not monetize this channel. However, for the second time on one of your videos, ads have appeared. This is extremely infrequent, but I thought I would note it.
Thanks. Ads will only appear on those videos where I have used copyrighted music and I am trying to limit that as much as possible these days.

👍🇩🇪
In the course of continuous daily repetition, does the body spontaneously begin to heal itself, or do external healing modalities arise in the play, or is it often a combination of both of these scenarios? Thank you so much for this.
In the course of Dhamma, anything and everything is possible. There are no restrictions, no limitations, no rules. Healing can take place well beyond the mind and everyone will have a unique and different response with this practice. The key is to relax and let go of analyzing anything or trying to figure it out. As you learn to trust and rest into that, healing will take place (perhaps rapidly) of it's own accord. 💛💛💛
Thank you ❤
