Giving And Receiving_3

Last week we started to experiment with the Tonglen practice of giving and receiving. Today, I want to talk a little about what happens to the body when we give. So when we are practicing giving and receiving, there is a felt sense too. It may occur as subtler but it’s on the level of neurochemical. Oxytocin, a powerful chemical in the brain surges through the body and what this chemical does is it give us feelings of warmth and care toward others.
