Free As A Bird | Transformative Live Forest Sessions
With Ruben BachAnother 'freely flowing meditative transmission' by Ruben. During these three days he's inviting you to imagine sitting next to him in the forest. The depth of each of these sessions is truly palpable, as all of these sessions are spontaneously recorded with such great connection to nature. Nothing prepared, just you and Ruben tuning in to that, which is always unchanging, soft and loving. As soon as an intimate space is created the journey begins. You'll notice yourself dropping slowly into the Unchanging Impersonal Loving Essence of life. From time to time you will be listening to the birds while simultaneously noticing that life in its essence is stable and unaffected by anything. Let yourself be guided beyond words and concepts. And may you enjoy the ever-so-clear message that comes through in such a soft, soothing and simple way. As with all of Ruben's teachings, these three days in the forest also are exploring Short Moments of Clarity and Softness. Ruben himself is very much drawn to Theravāda Buddhism. And although he doesn't exactly practice like the monks do, he does notice that the wisdom of these teachings have a very profound effect on his wellbeing and understanding of life. The Thai Forest tradition is the branch of Theravāda Buddhism in Thailand that most strictly upholds the original monastic rules of discipline laid down by the Buddha. As pointed out in the first session by Ruben, in this description some of the teachers will be shared in case one is interested to look up any of these teachers. Some are also on Insight Timer. The following teachers are of great inspiration to Ruben: Luang Por Chah, Luang Por Sumedho, Ajann Anan, Ajahn Achalo, Ajahn Jayasāro, Ajahn Amaro, Ajahn Brahm, Ajahn Kovilo and Ajahn Nisabho. May you enjoy these teachings as well and may you enjoy these three days in the forest with Ruben. He warmly welcomes you to respond in the online classroom as part of the practice he is offering.
