Taking and Giving (Tonglen) Meditation

  • Butterfly Martial and Healing Arts, est. 1997 48 Silas Deane Highway Wethersfield, CT, 06109 United States (map)

Mike will introduce the compassionate meditation known as “Tonglen,” or taking and giving meditation. Originally from the Tibetan Buddhist lineage, everyone regardless of spiritual belief can practice. Mike learned this special meditation from his Buddhist Teacher in small classes held for serious students and will share a simple but effective version of this method based upon compassion and wisdom. In Tonglen meditation we learn how to safely receive negativity and neutralize it and transform it, returning love and compassion. There are Preparatory Practices, the actual Tonglen Meditation, and Finishing Practices (it is easier to do than describe). This method is very safe and differs from Reiki Remote/Distance Healing, no previous experience is needed, just an open mind and compassionate heart.
