An Amazing Meditation for Healing Body and Mind

The meditation known as Taking and Giving, in Tibetan “tonglen”, has been used for centuries as a healing meditation. 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 positive energy, purifying the mind and in particular enabling us to deal skillfully and peacefully with our daily challenges.

Alexandra will introduce us to this amazing practice – which is quite simple and can be practiced by anyone – and then in the ensuing 5-week series, take us deeper and deeper into this beautiful and life-enhancing method.

Everyone welcome

The Keys to a Magical Meditation Practice

Meditation is more than just a good habit—it brings life to our life, love to our eyes, and compassion to our actions. It spills confidence and joy all over our work, relationships, and spiritual path. It transforms how we tackle challenges and sparks magic in our minds and hearts.

In this series, we’ll bridge the gap between thinking “about” meditating and actually creating a doable, daily practice that feels as enticing and instinctive as our morning coffee. We’ll dive into practical techniques that feel just right for us and are something we actually want to do. And we’ll have fun connecting in class and meditating together.

This series isn’t about adding another task to your day. It’s about inviting meditation into the very pulse of your being, understanding that it’s as essential as breathing and love.

January 30: The Power of Aspiration
