This meditation focuses on gathering awareness in the here and now, guides you to an anchor of your choice and to practice awareness of change.
This meditation is from the 2017 IMCW Fall Retreat.
Establishing a connection with the heavens and the earth with our ancestors at our back allows us to feel held and supported as we offer lovingkindness to ourselves and others.
Through taking refuge in our own buddha-nature, the teachings and practices of the Buddha, radical acceptance of life's unfolding, and supportive community, we can transform our limited views of ourselves and expand our capacity to awaken to what's real, to alleviate suffering, and to cultivate true happiness.
We awaken a present heart by relaxing with the breath, and bringing the kindness of a smile into our bodily experience. This meditation ends with offering blessings to our inner life and all beings.
