Tonglen Meditation

Tonglen is a practice from the Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhist tradition. In it, we use the breath as a focal point as we consider the suffering of others, or the suffering of the world in general. Breathing in, we take in the suffering. Breathing out, we send pure positive, loving, blessed energy. This is a fantastic meditation to change your state when you're stuck in anger, resentment, or when you're feeling disheartened by the world.
