Inclusive Heart Opening To Palestine And Beyond

In this rest meditation, we very slowly and gently learn how to stay in and with our bodies in ways that allow us to stay grounded (co-regulated). Then, once anchored, we felt into big feelings inside ourselves as they relate to suffering in the world, without going into overwhelm.
Knowing how to, first, support our bodies, minds, and hearts, allowed us to open our hearts deep and wide to spread love outwards into the world: to the people in Palestine and to anyone who came to our attention during our time together.
This was a gathering to serve love, to have a container to feel deep and wide while being co-regulated, and to utilize the power of the collective, the power of the heart, and the power of prayer.
It is transformative and empowering to know how to stay grounded/co-regulated AND feel deep and wide into the suffering within us as well as with other humans. It is powerful to be able to turn towards oppressions, and not dissociate. It is rebellious to love widely.

Dear Lisa,
Thank you for sharing this practice. From experiencing this practice, it helped me to think about different levels of suffering that exist in the world. Whether local in my community or elsewhere in the world, such as in Palestine. I used Tonglen during this practice, which was helpful when considering the needless suffering. Blessings to you for offering this practice experience. I’ll repeat this often… and once again, thank you!
