Going For Refuge

In Buddhism, we talk about going for refuge to the Three Jewels: the Buddha, his teachings (Dharma), and the spiritual community (Sangha). But there is another refuge: our own self. In this talk, we focus on how we can find sanctuary within our selves simply through the breath.

This spoke to me soooo much

Very affective and poignant. Thank you ♥️

Appreciate this! Organic and genuine way to talk about refuge, breath, and coming home.

Thank-you, this is a really thought provoking, original and moving talk,on theme of coming home to the body. Lovely to hear more British voices on Insight Timer, keeping it real!

Lovely meditation that helped me to consider why I sometimes disconnect from my body. Lovely guidance for reconnecting. Thank you.

So simple but I keep getting it wrong so thank you for simplifying my life

Incredible. This unraveled something I’ve never been able to understand at a sensory level

Powerful message and thank you for insight to our pain and body reaction!!! I loved your voice !

Thought provoking.🙏 Namaskar.

This brought me right back at home. Had a range of emotions going on. Loved listening to you. Thank you.😇🙏🌼

“When was the last time I sang”? The question made me cry. That’s a sign of how that simple sentence is packed with so much meaning. Thanks for those words.

I loved this as a reminder that our body can be a safe place of refuge. Simply wonderful!

This simple, impelling teaching is so basic and yet so profound. Thank you!

Very interesting perspective on the body as a place of refuge. I have become very connected to, and conscious of, my breath through meditating but perhaps am disassociating my breath from my physical body. Thank you Valerie for the fresh food for thought. 🙏🤝🙏

Not medicating or ignoring our feelings is a way of growth. Sustaining this pattern is difficult for the sensitive soul. Balance balance balance, don't ignore the anger or the grief let's not be ashamed of ourselves but be free. This is what I get from this. Thank you for the memory.
