Tonglen Practice: Alchemizing The Suffering Of The World
Experience the transformative power of Tonglen Meditation, a Tibetan practice with the intention of “receiving and sending". Tonglen teaches us to inhale the suffering of others and to exhale whatever would benefit them. We approach Tonglen as channels, rather than holding the suffering within ourselves, we expand ourselves to alchemize lower-vibration emotions into higher-vibration emotions such as acceptance, ease, abundance, peace, and love. Emotions are energy in motion; since energy can neither be created nor destroyed, we must alchemize it. Tonglen meditation is a tremendous skill of energetic alchemy and is valuable for us all. The meditation progresses in a crescendo fashion, starting with a light amount of suffering and gradually moving to heavier forms. By alchemizing the world's suffering, we expand the transformative love that our planet and its people need. This meditation is best done in a seated position.
