The Powerful Buddhist Meditation for Healing Body and Mind

Book Online

The meditation practice known as Taking and Giving, or “Tonglen” in Tibetan, has been a cherished method of healing for centuries. This transformative practice is not only renowned for its ability to heal the body but also serves as a potent tool for releasing negative mental habits such as insecurity, anger, and emotional pain. By practicing Taking and Giving, you can experience profound benefits, including the cultivation of positive energy, purification of the mind, the development of compassion and a greater sense of calm and clarity in the face of daily challenges.

This simple yet profound meditation uses the power of visualization, the breath, and positive intention.

Join Gen Kelsang Öpel on Thursday evenings for 4 weeks as she introduces us to this beautiful practice—easy to learn and accessible for everyone. Over the coming weeks, we will explore Taking and Giving in greater depth, discovering how it can become a life-enhancing tool.

What to Expect:

This course will offer practical guidance, guided meditations, and Q&A. Whether you are new to meditation or experienced, this course welcomes everyone. No prior experience is necessary.
