How can we become more grounded and more intimate with ourselves while becoming more spacious and free from endless random mental chatter?

Let’s explore in the ways in which the body is such a precious help for meditation practice and in mindfulness in everyday life. Let’s explore as well the central role of space, emptiness, into the practice of presence and consciousness. Maybe we could feel in a deeper way the very close interconnection between body and space, matter and consciousness, and see how the changing manifested reality and the limitless unmanifested world of consciousness are dancing together as one. And within this dance, who are we? And how can we get some real inner freedom?

    Daily Meditation Recordings, with Wiebke Pausch – Week of October 31, 2022

    This week’s topic is “Awaken Self-Compassion”. For many of us it is easier to be friendly and compassionate with others than with ourselves. Old conditioning, limiting beliefs of not being worthy of love and are confining our hearts. Compassion is an essential part of our true nature. We all know how to be gentle and compassionate with ourselves – this is how we survived situations of suffering and loss in our lives. This week we will be exploring how to awaken Self-Compassion, allowing our hearts to soften and open with care. With a tender heart we begin naturally to respond to the world around us with clarity and compassion.
