Invoking Loving Presence (A Version Of Tonglen)
by Tara Brach
This beautiful guided meditation helps us reach out to some expression of “the beloved” as we seek refuge in loving awareness. You are invited to imagine a sacred or comforting space filled with a sense of loving presence. In this atmosphere of safety and kindness, you bring forward any pain or vulnerability you may be carrying and call on a source of compassion, such as a spiritual figure, a loved one, or the affection of a pet. As you sense this loving presence, allow it to touch and soothe your tender places, letting pain dissolve into care. The meditation reminds you that this beloved presence is also your own awakened heart, and as you rest in this vastness, you naturally extend compassion to all beings.
