Summary: Even though this is not a religious podcast, the religions of the world contain within them profound secrets to human existence: to its purpose and meaning. The life of Jesus is a great example of a mystery that can be used to unlock an experience of peace and contentment. Broadly speaking, Easter commemorates four key parts of the Jesus phenomenon: 1) his Incarnation; 2) his Passion (betrayal, trial, torture and death); 3) his Resurrection; and 4) his Ascension. This guided meditation loosely follows this four part sequence minus the Christian overtones. The first part takes inspiration from the first line of the Christian and Jewish bible "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1). There was darkness and then there was light. The second part extrapolates from the story of Jesus' suffering into a contemplation of our own experience of physical pain or mental anguish. Mirroring the experience of Jesus transcending the pain and resurrecting back into his physical form but unburdened of his suffering, the third part of the meditation takes advantage of your inherent power to move your awareness from pain and suffering to peace and love. And the final part, in keeping with the idea of Jesus' return to the godhead, guides you through a series of exercises to unleash at least a small taste of what that ascension is like.<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>
