Sangha: Balancing The Heart & Wisdom | Ego Images | Tonglen

In this weekly sangha, we look at the importance of balancing heart and wisdom practices, keeping the heart open, and avoiding making any images out of heart-opening practices, me as a kind person, or as a compassionate person - that's how the ego slips in the backdoor. There is a great deal of returning to the profound compassion practice of Tong Len.

question about tong len? I am a HSP empath. i’m such a sensitive soul that I have to do light projection on a daily basis just to be around people. It’s not only a for when i’m out in public, but on zoom or Insight Timer lives. My being is so sensitive my late husband would playfully refer to me as the princess and the pea… If you know that story.

if I’m understanding tong len, I’m Breathing others fear, etc. in and breathing out love. I don’t think that’s something I can do. Other peoples energy literally makes me physically ill. Headaches, tension, stomach pain. and others energy drains me to the point of i can’t get out of bed.

as I do my light projection practice… Which is receiving loving bright light into my being and projecting it in every direction from my heart. With the intention to push back other peoples energy to them. Creating a safe space for me to walk through this world. as I do that, sometimes several times a day, maybe I can create an intention of sending them love and kindness ???

Thanks, very informative and supportive of practice
