When we forget who we are, we are living in a trance that is characterized by suffering. This talk explores the genesis of this trance, and the transformation that is possible as we bring forgiveness and mindful presence to the afflictive emotions that naturally arise.
If we are suffering it is because we are believing something that is not true. This talk explores the genesis of our core beliefs and the investigation, mindfulness and compassion that can release their grip.
Through practice, the heart flowers by integrating mindfulness and metta (loving kindness) and through turning toward our suffering with kind attention and loving acceptance.
What is mindfulness? How does it function and most importantly how does it allow us to be present to our experience and bring about a spacious, non-reactive response to the moment, that facilitates freedom.
