Summary: <p>From Palm Sunday, through Good Friday and Easter Sunday, the Christian Easter week celebrates the life of Jesus. This Holy week holds a profound mystery within it that can be used to unlock an experience of peace and contentment for you, regardless of your religious convictions (or lack thereof). 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.</p><p><br></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>
