Daily Meditation Recordings, with Nirmala Werner – Week of May 27 – 31, 2024

Nirmala Werner

Nirmala Werner

We’re fortunate that Nirmala Werner has generously offered to lead our daily meditation sessions. To find out more about Nirmala, and to view her other contributions to Sangha Live, click here. Recordings will be posted by the end of the day of the live session.

 

This week’s topic is “Bringing Death into Life”.

 

During this week we will look into what supports us in living life more fully with integrity and in alignment with our deepest values.

 

We will explore how the contemplation of our own death supports freedom, and will make space for our protective strategies that prevent us from being close to death. We’ll explore how to live life with care, wisdom and compassion.

 

(Nirmala has asked us to share this video that she mentioned during this week’s sessions: Charnel ground meditation)
