Summary: In this meditation we will utilize the ancient Buddhist practice called Tonglen. In Tibetan ‘tong’ can be translated as ‘letting go’ or ‘sending out’ and ‘len’ can mean ‘receiving’ or ‘accepting’. It is designed to help you relieve suffering or anguish. You might have been a small child long ago when the emotional wounds were inflicted. But you can embody that little you in your mind and utilize this technique to comfort and heal this child within. One of the advantages of this practice is that we don't have to work out what our problems are. We don't have to engage in months or years of therapy, we don't have to follow a guru or join a group. We just follow a simple, basic rhythm of thought, breath and emotional patterning and the suffering ceases or at least reduces. It is one of the oldest, and very best, brain hacks of all time. This is a 30 minute version of the 'Self-Tonglen' practice.<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>
