This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to make peace with chronic or temporary acute physical pain and illness - or even mental suffering such as anxiety, depression, etc. - and not only live well with it, but even grow from it. - and not only live well with it, but even grow from it.
On this afternoon, Kadam Miri will introduce and guide the ancient, healing meditation practice of Taking & Giving (Tibetan: Tonglen). Taking & Giving is part of the Buddhist training of the mind (Lojong), through which we systematically familiarize ourselves with a productive and thus transformative way of dealing with adverse circumstances of all kinds.
Through the practice of taking & giving, we can face pain and suffering in a positive way instead of letting it get us down. It also allows us to counteract the impulse to close ourselves off internally and isolate ourselves in our illnesses and suffering; Taking & Giving opens our hearts and counteracts the experience of loneliness in our suffering. Through the resulting positive, relaxed inner attitude, as well as through the healing effect of taking & giving as a whole, we often reduce our physical and mental suffering at the same time.
Kadam Miri herself has lived with very active rheumatoid arthritis for many years and can therefore testify first-hand to the positive effects of taking & giving. She is very excited to pass on this powerful method and share her knowledge and experience with you :)
