Find patience and continue to stay safe.
"When your thoughts carry you away, it is not a good sign. But if you are fully present in the spaciousness of being, thoughts and sensations become ornaments of that space, rather than distractions.
A bird's song, for example, rather than disturbing your meditation, will highlight the peacefulness of it. A display of art is an ornament of space and light. But when an ornament carries you away and you no longer feel space and light, then you are lost.
According to the teachings of dzogchen, you will never find your authentic self because your authentic self was never lost." ~ Tenzin Wangyal, Rinpoche

FIRST THURSDAY GUIDED MEDITATION HEALING CIRCLE
|
| | The First Thursday of the Month Guided Meditation Healing Circle is offered on Thursday, February 4th, 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, February 4th, 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 each Thursday: 2/11, 2/18, 2/25 @ 11 AM Eastern time. Everyone is welcome! There is no fee.

Much love,

| | MARCY'S ONLINE RETREAT AND ONLINE CLASS:
SHERAP CHAMMA, MOTHER OF WISDOM AND LOVE
|
| | In
many cultures the primordial female energy is seen as the origin of
existence and the source of all positive qualities. Sherap Chamma,
Mother of Wisdom and Love, is a source of wisdom and her medicine is love
and compassion. The teachings and meditations of Sherap Chamma comprise
one of the most important tantric cycles of the ancient Bon meditation
tradition.
Marcy
will be offering two opportunities to learn, explore, and deepen your
relationship to the sacred feminine: an on-line retreat Friday, February
19 through Sunday, February 21, or a pre-recorded course that you can
listen to and participate in at times convenient to you. The course
begins February 19 and runs for six weeks. Visit www.ligmincha.org for more information and to register. |
