Surrendering to the Earth a Guided Meditation | Mindful Discovery with Lama Rod Owens

Lama Rod Owens, the “Black Buddhist Southern Queen”, leads us through a Mindful Discovery of "Surrendering to the Earth and Air" from his new book The New Saints: From Broken Hearts to Spiritual Warriors.
He explains, "More and more, I am coming to understand that healing and liberation are completely bound up with the land. When the Buddha touched the earth during his awakening, he did so not as a symbolic gesture, but as a sign of solidarity. Touching the earth reminds me that I am a living extension of it."
A trailblazing Buddhist Lama brings classic wisdom into a modern context to help us become agents of social and spiritual liberation. The New Saints offers insights and techniques to ignite inner fierceness and compassion, create a sustainable spiritual practice that serves others and the planet, and embody the virtues of a New Saint.

A meditation like no other.
Fantastic! Thank you for reminding me that I am a child of Mother Earth. Remembering where we came from and how we can heal from Mother Earth is wonderful. Dropping the pain and trauma from my human parents is profound. Thank you! ❤
