"When you are fully present to someone's pain, a deep sense of caring and warmth naturally emerges. It is the same with your own discomforts. If you are truly present with them, they will begin to shift. As the pain releases, warmth spontaneously arises from the space of Being" ~ Tenzin Wangyal, Rinpoche

FIRST THURSDAY GUIDED MEDITATION HEALING CIRCLE
|
| | The First Thursday of the Month Guided Meditation Healing Circle is offered on Thursday, June 3rd, 2021 via ZOOM.
Our Guided Healing Circle Meditation is not intended to by-pass
illnesses of the body, the emotions, the mind, or spirit - or the pain
and suffering of each other, our families, communities, and our society.
The
3 Doors practice we share on First Thursdays is a support to open our
hearts and embrace all of the reactive emotions triggered by the winds of
aversion, attachment, and ignorance that cause dissatisfaction.
Please join us Thursday, June 3rd, from 11 AM until 11:45 AM.
Led by Gabriel, the Healing Circle is open to everyone; there is no fee.

THURSDAY MORNING MEDITATION SESSIONS
|
| | There is a luminous, healing space of refuge within each one of us. It is important to make time to visit often and connect to the warmth of our nature. It is a prescription for liberating ourselves from unnecessary emotional reactivity; developing the capacity to host the pains of illness, loss, and grief; and remembering that others suffer just as we do, without exception, due to age, gender/sexual orientation, geographic location, ancestral origin, or political affiliation.
We sometimes forget that space exists, or where and how to find it. It is always available - it is waiting for us behind the doors of stillness, silence, and spaciousness.
This month I'm offering virtual, half hour guided meditation sessions on two Thursdays: 6/10 and 6/17 @ 11 AM Eastern time. Everyone is welcome! There is no fee.
Join me on Zoom: 357 975 2624 Passcode: @Gabriel
Please note there is no practice on Thursday 6/24. I will be attending the "Dream Yoga and Sleep Yoga" retreat on Zoom, led by my teacher, Tenzin Wangyal, Rinpoche. If you're interested in how meditation can enhance your dreams and sleep, you can find more information here:
