Member Journey: Part 3

The goal of this week’s practice is to get comfortable with experiencing joy, and the positive feelings of alignment needed for manifestation, without ignoring the tough stuff of life.

Your aim will be to hold space for pain and suffering, and then transmute it to love with a simple and easy mindfulness practice. This practice is called Tonglen Meditation; it transmutes lower vibrational energies to higher vibrational energies.

Tonglen takes the energy of the suffering into the healer’s body and transmutes it into healing energy.

The reason we’re doing this meditation is because the goal of manifesting, overall, is to feel the emotion of joy and happiness. 

Anything that you desire, it is being desired because of the feelings the havingness, peace, safety, contentment and ease, of it will ultimately create.

If you can transmute suffering, to get closer to feeling emotional joy, no matter the situation, you have really figured out the core energy needed to manifest.

Exercise: Tonglen Practice

Start with your own tough stuff, then move to others around you.

Get into a calm, meditative state.

Focus on a reason why you are suffering.

As you breathe in, imagine the pain vividly.

See the reason in your mind’s eye, feel the energy of it in your heart center. If you can’t visualize the scene, imagine dark grey light streaming into your heart.

Now breathe out while focusing on the emotion or situation that would bring healing to the situation. I like to visualize the happiest day for myself, typically using a past scene as the guide. Breathe out joy energy.

Try it again. Breathe in your suffering by visualizing and feeling it as you inhale. Breathe out what will take away the pain - feelings of ease, happiness, care, a good day. You can feel these feelings as you exhale or visualize images that represent these moods.

Now practice this same technique for the suffering of someone else near you. Take into your heart why they are suffering as you inhale. Exhale, imagine them feeling relief - happiness, ease, peace, contentment.

Advanced: 

Continue this practice through your day. See and feel joy in as many moments as possible. Find as many reasons as you can to be happy. Aiming for joy will help you maintain the vibrational goal of the Tonglen Practice. 

This practice helps you breathe love into tough situations, while maintaining the right mood needed to manifest your ideal life’s outcomes.
