The Amazing Meditation for Healing Body and Mind

The meditation known as “taking and giving”, or “tonglen” in Tibetan, has been used for over 2,000 years as a powerful healing technique, using the power of our love and compassion to help overcome our obstacles and sicknesses of body and mind. Not only is this meditation legendary for its physical healing properties, it is also a powerful method for healing painful mental tendencies such as insecurity, anger, and hurt. Taking and giving practice gives rise to innumerable benefits, including boosting our positive energy, purifying the mind, and in particular enabling us to deal skillfully and peacefully with our daily challenges.

You will be introduced to this amazing practice – which is quite simple and can be practiced by anyone – and take us deeper and deeper into its healing properties. Everyone welcome.

ON-GOING • DROP-IN ANYTIME

This class is designed to help those looking for Buddhist wisdom to help with stress relief and relaxation, as well as those interested in exploring the nature of the mind, and pursuing the Buddhist path. It is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

A typical class consists of a guided relaxation meditation, a teaching based on the meditation topic, and a final contemplative meditation. Although classes are given in a series, they can be taken individually, as each class topic is self-contained.

There is no physical exercise, yoga, or stretching involved.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of belief; you do not need to be Buddhist to attend. No pre-registration necessary.
