Daily Meditation Recordings, with Shireen Jilla – Week of 10 March, 2025
We’re delighted to have Shireen Jilla guiding our Daily Meditation sessions this week. May her teachings support and enrich your practice.
This week’s theme is: The Ease And Simplicity Of Letting Go
The invitation this week is to explore Wise Intention. When we lean into letting go, we experience the simple clarity it brings. Every moment we drop fussing, fretting and freaking out over our experience deepens our practice in our daily lives. The intention of opening our hearts and harmlessness leads us beautifully towards the bliss of blamelessness.
Our Dharma Library thrives through collective generosity. Your donation helps sustain this offering for our entire community.
