Past Regret Tonglen (20 min)




Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity show

Summary: <p>Everyone has regrets. Sometimes you are the wrongdoer, sometimes you are the victim. Sometimes it is a little of both. Regardless, by bringing an open heart to your pain and your past, you become the vehicle for your own healing. Tonglen is a method of using a loving and fearless presence to bear witness to the memories or negative emotions that haunt you. Through the almost other-worldly alchemy of compassion you can cleanse yourself of this past. This doesn’t mean that the deep well of grief and fear and anguish is gone or ignored. To the contrary, Tonglen allows you to integrate it into your complete and healed self. There is a still surface above the darkness that is safe and light and hopeful and endlessly renewed. Tonglen allows you to reconnect with that safety and light and hope. </p><br><p>This is a 20 minute version of the Past Regret Tonglen practice.</p><br><hr><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> See <a style="color: grey;" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
