Hollyhock Life | Tonglen Meditation with Elizabeth Claire Burr @HollyhockLive | Uploaded August 2017 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Elizabeth Claire Burr shares Tonglen, a meditation practice that comes from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
In this practice, instead of turning away from our pain and avoiding it at all costs, we lean into it. We invite it right into our hearts to transmute the difficulties or challenges we are experiencing into release, relief, love, and compassion. This powerful practice is focused on the purification of our heart centres and on the waking up of strength and courage in our hearts and in our daily lives. It is a very direct way to cultivate wide heart, which is one of the 8 vital principles in the Vijnana Yoga tradition, including relaxed body, quiet mind, wide heart, intention, rooting, connecting, breathing and expansion. Essential Yoga and Somatics is an integration of Tibetan Buddhist practices, Hanna Somatics and Vijnana Yoga.
