Death Awareness - Open Awareness Open Mind Series

Death is always a difficult subject for us to face, but by ignoring it, it will not go away. In this meditation Lama Yeshe gently invites you to face up to death. We cannot truly live our lives until we have dealt with death, because we will always have the fear of death in our minds. Please do not attempt this meditation if your are feeling anxious, fearful, depressed or have any other kind of emotional problems.

Wonderful reflective meditation on the impermanence of all things, including our precious human life. 🙏

I am currently studying the Sutra on Impermanence and this is helpful for my understanding.

I really appreciate the simplicity of the guidance. Thank you 🙏🏼

Very powerful contemplation, especially meditating on my attachment to my body. That evoked the greatest response, realizing that this body, which has served me so beautifully, will be no more. Thank you

Very thought provoking meditation. I was definitely keep coming back to this as the intention is perfect. Thank you

Concise, important reflection on a topic that will evade no one. I appreciate the delicate and direct delivery.

Wow, that was powerful and so worthwhile. I find myself visualizing that our life is a wave that rolls into shore, then breaks and returns to the sea at death. This meditation is a potent accompaniment to that. Very grateful as ever for your meditations here on insight timer.

Thank you for such an insightful meditation. It wasn't necessarily easy, but there were many great ideas to reflect on.

Thank you for being a tremendous guide in navigating this diffcult topic.

This was the perfect meditation for me. My husband of 63 years passed away three weeks ago. He had excellent medical care including nurses who alternated days to help me with my husband’s care. They were so compassionate and caring with my husband that he was able to die at home. He had a good death and I laid down beside him and spoke softly to him as he took his last breath. The rest of the day I felt so at peace and had no regrets. The next day I awoke with Covid. A couple of times during that time I wasn’t sure if I would survive. So I did contemplate my own death. Although I miss his presence, I am supported by my family who all live thousands of miles away.
I am grateful for this meditation at this time. 🙏💕
