Based on a meditation in Adyashanti's "Guided Meditations," this offering evokes heart connection, restoration, and remembrance of who you are. Adya says "redemptive love comes from the dark womb of the unknown and flows into the core of our being as redemptive grace." He invites us to meet all life, all sorrow, with love. The key to this meditation is to relax into a receptive mode. Simply let the words wash through you, restoring you to wholeness.

This meditation offers guided spiritual hygiene to purify your heart and mind for sleep, followed by the setting of an intention for a lucid dream, and ending with a 21-breath sequence to help you drop off to sleep effortlessly. Inspired by lucid dreaming teacher Andrew Holecek, the combined practices do not guarantee lucidity on the first try, but over time they will cultivate deep restorative sleep and greater lucidity in life and in sleep.

Indra’s Net is a Buddhist metaphor for the interconnectedness of the universe, or what modern physics might call the quantum field. Alan Watts said: “Imagine a multidimensional spider’s web in the early morning covered with dewdrops. And every dewdrop contains the reflection of all the other dewdrops. And so ad infinitum." Meditating on Indra’s Net reminds us of our unity with each other and all of creation. Let yourself bask in this deep connection.

This practice transforms the corrosive aspects of worry into healing energy for you and the person you worry about. It is useful when you feel helpless to relieve their pain, and invites you to notice your projections around it. The practice can be used to offer healing energy to a family member, friend, stranger, pet, landscape, or the planet itself. Drawing from the teachings of Adyashanti, the key is to radically trust the other’s journey as well as your own.

In the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Tonglen, “taking and sending,” you visualize taking in the pain of another on the in-breath and sending out healing energy on the out-breath. The process deepens your heart, widens your circle of compassion, and frees you from the mire of pity. You cultivate love, and begin to access the open dimension of your being. This meditation emulates the style of Tonglen taught by Pema Chödrön.

This meditation is inspired by one in Adyashanti's audiobook, "Guided Meditations." Using a Tibetan singing bowl and gentle words, it is designed to evoke awareness of the divine ground of your being, which Adyashanti calls "pure potentiality" or the "unknown self." If you like this meditaion, I highly recommend his books. He has been an important teacher for me. I wish you a calm mind and an awakened heart.

Let your heart bloom with life. This healing meditation is inspired by the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke. It invites you to feel more alive today than yesterday and to never forget that you are a divine being waking up in this lifetime. The lines from Rilke are translated by Joanna Macy. Relax into the healing theta binaural beats. Enjoy.

This guided visualization is based on a near-death experience described by Carl Jung in his memoir Memories, Dreams, and Reflections. Jung experienced this vision as he hung on the edge of death after a heart attack. Following a brief relaxation exercise, you will be guided through this vision as if you are experiencing it for yourself. Feel free to replace the particularities of this vision with your own and let it unfold as it wishes.
