This class teaches how we can practice mindfulness and compassion grounded in the field of spacious, knowing, and benevolent awareness. In the sphere that is within and around us, we can deepen our mindfulness practice effortlessly. Then, our heartfulness and love are rooted in the field of benevolence and interconnectedness that is already there, everywhere. With this experience, our care can come from a place that is greater than our individual self, and our experience of being mindful arises from limitless presence. Then we come from a place of receptivity and openness and our trust in life can have deep roots. From this deeper ground, the canape’ of our branches is wide and strong, preparing us to contribute to life and to the healing of our world in much more effective ways.
In this three-hour seminar, Mariela Bravo and Radhule Weininger will present Mindfulness and compassion meditations, Resting-in the -Field-of-Natural-Awareness meditations, and discuss how these practices can support us in an often challenging world, with a pandemic, racial strive, inequality, and climate change. Holding “Personal and Universal Reality” at the same time will allow us to be wise and generous with ourselves and others.”
