WMRI – Loving Kindness Meditation
Meditating on loving kindness helps us restore our love and confidence, and heal any unresolved emotional wounds we may be carrying. It also puts us back in touch with the fundamental goodness of our core being, and once that has happened, we are able to love ourselves. Many people say that loving kindness practice gives them a method for transforming their difficult emotions and helps them avoid getting stuck in confusion and negativity. For this reason, many students discover that by meditating on loving kindness their shamatha practice is more stable.
This unique course has been specially developed by Sogyal Rinpoche after many years of teaching in the West. Led by experienced meditators combined with crucial teachings by Sogyal Rinpoche on video, students attending the course will have the opportunity to see that our fundamental nature is unchanging goodness. They will learn that loving kindness practice comes out of the space of meditation (and is not separate from meditation). Students will practice loving kindness for ourselves, to others and for our difficult emotions. They will look at why we need to learn how to love ourselves. Students will see the value of occupying our mind with love. Finally, students will see the benefits that loving kindness can bring us.
Open to new students and to students that have completed any module of What Meditation Really Is.
