And most of all connect you to the wonder of this mysteriously beautiful life. You will be guided in a very warm and soft way. A collaboration with Charmaine. Also added in this folder: Softly Exploring Life Death And Dying. More info: Ruben will once more take on a beautiful soft meditative journey. Contemplating death and dying is a profound way to awaken into this timeless moment. As soon as we touch upon this topic life shows itself in a very clear, soft and beautiful way. Let Ruben take you by the hand and have you experience a soft journey into the unchanging essence of life. You will be traveling towards a spacious 'Non-Personal Awareness' from which you will softly explore life, death and dying. Doing so will bring clarity and trust. It will also bring about helpful reminders during your day amid all circumstances. These sessions might change your perception of life in a very positive way. For many, this is the end of desperately seeking Truth and Enlightenment. By exploring death and dying all pieces of the mysterious puzzle of life fall into place. Don't forget you're going to die and re-learn to notice the preciousness of each timeless moment. You are also warmly welcome to connect via the classroom while taking the course. Connecting via de classroom is part of the practice Ruben is offering. He will mostly respond via audio. May you enjoy another wonderful contemplative soft journey during this two-day online course.

During these three days he's inviting you to imagine sitting next to him in the forest. The depth of each of these sessions is truly palpable, as all of these sessions are spontaneously recorded with such great connection to nature. Nothing prepared, just you and Ruben tuning in to that, which is always unchanging, soft and loving. As soon as an intimate space is created the journey begins. You'll notice yourself dropping slowly into the Unchanging Impersonal Loving Essence of life. From time to time you will be listening to the birds while simultaneously noticing that life in its essence is stable and unaffected by anything. Let yourself be guided beyond words and concepts. And may you enjoy the ever-so-clear message that comes through in such a soft, soothing and simple way. As with all of Ruben's teachings, these three days in the forest also are exploring Short Moments of Clarity and Softness. Ruben himself is very much drawn to Theravāda Buddhism. And although he doesn't exactly practice like the monks do, he does notice that the wisdom of these teachings have a very profound effect on his wellbeing and understanding of life. The Thai Forest tradition is the branch of Theravāda Buddhism in Thailand that most strictly upholds the original monastic rules of discipline laid down by the Buddha. As pointed out in the first session by Ruben, in this description some of the teachers will be shared in case one is interested to look up any of these teachers. Some are also on Insight Timer. The following teachers are of great inspiration to Ruben: Luang Por Chah, Luang Por Sumedho, Ajann Anan, Ajahn Achalo, Ajahn Jayasāro, Ajahn Amaro, Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho. May you enjoy these teachings as well and may you enjoy these three days in the forest with Ruben. He warmly welcomes you to respond in the online classroom as part of the practice he is offering. ------- Guided Meditation: Embracing Death After so many beautiful responses on the Insight Timer online course Embracing life, death, and impermanence, Ruben is continuing to offer guidance on this topic. In this guided visualization Ruben will slowly and softly guide you toward your last breath. If contemplating in this way, at some point during this meditation, doesn't feel comfortable, know that you can stop listening at all times. May you, as always, enjoy the soft, warm, and loving words spoken in these meditations.
