Season 1, Episode 212: Guided Tonglen Meditation #30 with Michael Neeley

This episode of Consciously Speaking’s guided meditation series is focused on the practice of “tonglen”, and will be guided by your host, Michael Neeley.

Tonglen is Tibetan for “giving and taking” or “sending and receiving”. It is, at its roots, the practice of taking in pain and suffering and sending out peace and healing. You can use this practice on yourself or for the benefit of another person or animal, a group of people, or even the planet. That’s up to you.

In this practice, you visualize taking on the suffering of others with your in-breath, and spreading happiness and peace on your out-breath. You may select an individual in need, an animal, yourself, a group of people or even the planet as the beneficiary of your practice.

Enjoy!

Today’s guest is Swami Tirtha. Swami is a breakthrough expert in personal & professional transformations. He is an author, keynote/presenter, educator, monk (swami), shaman, and energy healer.

Swamiji has spoken to the White House Commission on Complementary Medicine Policy, wrote an Amazon #1 bestseller, The Ayurveda Encyclopedia; and has spoken at international medical colleges including Johns Hopkins University.

Swamiji is all about instant breakthroughs, as all of the important events in his life happened in an instant — both the euphoric and the tragic; and today, he shares his instant healing gift with others.

Season 1 Episode 207: Carl David – Suicide Prevention Advocate & Author

Today’s guest is Carl David. For many years, Carl has had a serious interest in and has been a proponent of all aspects of healing and particularly “hands on” healing and energy work. He now weaves spirituality and energy work into his daily life.

Carl lost his brother to suicide when he was just 16, and has been on a mission to save lives ever since. His way of paying forward is by taking the darkest days of his life and helping those on that edge of desperation to see that they are loved, that there is help for them and that they are not alone.

As a Suicide Prevention Advocate, Carl also wants to let those who have walked a similar devastating path know that life does go on and that life is for the living, that we do survive. He authored the book, Bader Field as a memoir of how his family survived suicide.

Season 1, Episode 205: Guided Meditation #29 with Michael Neeley

This episode of Consciously Speaking’s Guided Meditation Series will be led by Michael Neeley. Set outdoors, this meditation will focus on your breath and the sounds of your surroundings.

At times, you may enter a meditation with an intention, such as a metta or tonglen practice; however, you may also find that the meditation has a plan of its own and will take you somewhere entirely different.

As you sit today, allow your mind to go where it will, while you simply notice and then release the thoughts that arise.

Enjoy!
