good morning good day to wherever you

are and welcome to the second session of

meditation and healing and we can today

we can start with meditation so you can

sit with your brakes straight

and just freely a connection between

your sitting bones and whatever you are

sitting on if it's a chair then you can

have your feet on the ground relaxed it

is your on a cushion your legs are

cross-legged just feel your back

relaxing feel your whole basis dropping

into your seat and feel how this

position is opening your basis opening

your pelvis opening your perineum and

from this area naturally there is a

sense of rising energy that goes all the

way to the top of your head along

getting your spine your chin is slightly

tucked in so the back of your neck is

long and lift your shoulders and drop it

again lift again and drop in fill it

your scapula's are opening so the top

part goes outward and the bottom part

goes inwards or your upper back is

opened up your hands are wrapped around

your knees or hands inside hand

your tongue is relaxed barely touching

the soft palate at the top of your mouth

the roof of your mouth there the tiny

space between your teeth

and your gaze is just resting naturally

two or three hours in front of you with

no effort and just bring all your

attention to the present time to your

body wherever you bear whatever you were

doing wherever you are just coming into

your body get a sense of your body

and feel how the relaxation of the body

relaxes your diaphragm which can move

more easily upward and downward

affecting your breath which flows more

easily and now it's affecting your mind

just being present in your body affects

your breath and affects your mind

and jaws stay with the sensation of your

body

and now that we prepared our body we can

prepare our speech our subtle energy by

cleaning our breath we're going to

inhale for both nostrils visualizing

that we are healing white healing

cleansing cooling light and we'll exhale

any disease and illness and it traumas

is black smoke so we have the visual the

part of the body we have the breath and

we have the intention so again the three

part the body speech and mind are

participating very important for the

process

in here inhaling through both nose twin

and then we close one nostril we except

from the right and from the left three

times and then both nose to him inhaling

and exit so we inhale from both nostrils

close our left nostril and exhale inhale

close the right nostril and exhale one

more time

and from both nostrils we inhale and

exhale inhale and exhale and third time

inhale and exhale and let your breathing

flow smoothly through your mouth oh no

without effort preferably for your mouth

just feel how the cleansing of the bad

breath affects the structure of your

body and the quality of your thinking

how everything is already a bit more

refined a bit more clear

and now after we prepared our body and

our breath we're going to prepare our

mind we're going to prepare our mind by

giving rise to love and compassion we're

preparing our motivation by opening our

how to ourselves

and to every living being and we are

doing it through the understanding that

what is equal to all of us to this

principle of equanimity on the most

basic way that all of us every living

being wants to be happy and every living

being is part of the life experience as

part of the reality experiences

difficulties experience suffering this

is inseparable from our life and we open

our heart ourselves and to every living

being even for a moment it has an effect

so we have the contemplation and then we

let go and we just feel it penetrating

every cell in our body and we

contemplate and we feel it

this is very important effect on the

benefits of medicine as we will see

later

and on a deeper level we understand that

what's equal to all of us is that

everything that we experience to our

senses and everything that we experience

internally as feeling thought is

impermanent it changes all the time

nothing is permanent that's the quality

in everything that we experience and

this allows us to start the process of

letting go

opening ourselves our hearts to our

selves into every living being

and from this place we start the actual

meditation we can pick a pebble if we

have or an object and put it two or

three two yards in front of us we keep

our back straight our next weight and we

start by gazing by letting our visual

field focus on the object without moving

our eyes not too tight and not too loose

and we add our breath we exhale to the

point to the object and we inhale from

the OB this is the door of the speech of

the subtle energy

what would allow us to refine our

meditation in our healing process and we

add our concentration our mental aspect

focusing on the point on the object so

we have the visual field the thing the

daughter of the body we have the breath

and we have the mind the mental focus

be inseparable

if your mind wanders the way you gently

bring it back to the meditation our mind

our ordinary mind is used to having

control over us when we suddenly start

trying to control it to tell it what to

do it rebuilds it rebuilds by either

creating restlessness or creating

tiredness fatigue before the sleep and

we'll talk later what to do with it but

you just bring yourself back to the

meditation by focusing on one thing

slowlyslowly destructions fall away and

you find a place of calm peace calm

abiding and this effect the profound

physiological healing effect it's very

simple practice we are using the support

of an object where you think our

tendency to hold to grasp like we talked

yesterday and we are grasping to only

one thing and allowing all the other

neuroses of jumping from grasping to

grasping to slowly fall away

again our eye contact our breath and our

focus

in the beginning it's hard and slowly

slowly we came our mind and it becomes

more opened and more relaxed

and then slowly bring our guest our eye

level and open up to any visual

sensation that we see from the front

without judgment just opening up

completely opening up into the vast

expense and while we keep this opened we

open ourselves to any visual sensations

that we see coming from the right and

from behind us and from the left and

from above and below

completely opening up in all directions

to any visual sensations and we can

slowly add any sounds that we experience

from the front from the right from

behind from the left and above and below

and in the same way we open up to any

tactile sensations and it's all

factoring any smells and any tastes that

we experience our posture is straight

our breath is flowing smoothly and we

simply let our visual field our

experience field

expand and open up

just and in the space between the

exhalation inhalation

we open up we expect

we let go

but is straight the breath is flowing

smoothly and simply we let all our

experience expand

and if you could clear it away by your

thoughts just bring it back by using the

breath by feeling how in the end of the

exhalation you let go then inhalation

comes in and with the acceleration you

let your mind ride with the exhalation

of the air and let it open up and while

keeping this openness you bring your

attention inward li into your body

feeling body sensations thoughts

feelings

and whatever you experience you don't

push away and you don't grasp do you

start by observing as the first step in

meditation as we mentioned yesterday

meditation is not what we experience but

it's our relationship with our

experience which we will talk more about

today after the meditation

and we can specifically bring our

attention to the top of our head and

then let it drop into our heart saying

hello to our heart of the center of our

chest seeing what feelings come up

just accepting whatever arises and we

say hello to our heart by taking our

hands and putting them on our chest this

way covering the chest your elbows are

relaxed and we feel the warmth of the

heart spreading through the chest it

feels easier you can close your eyes for

a few seconds and just ladies heat this

warms this innate love and compassion of

the heart to spread throughout your

chest and feel every part of your body

that needs this healing melting of our

rough edges of our contractions and

specifically sends the heat the warmth

to areas where you need healing you feel

that our heart your heart expands and

fills your whole body your heart and

mind becomes inseparable and your heart

comes out of your body and fill the

whole space around you

softening our hardness softening our

resistance and we slowly bring our hands

down to our knees and we rest in this

place

the body is stable the breath is flowing

smoothly and the mind is opened like the

sky resting into the sky and again at

the end of every exhalation you let go

you relax and feel how you feel out your

visual field expand and expand and

experience

just absorbing the sound of the waves

and resting into the vast sky that you

are seeing

and from this place we can do some very

basic healing exercises now that our

body is more relaxed and more opened

less tight we have space inside to

create a change so when we inhale we

visualize white light coming to the top

of our head and feeling every cell in

our body and in the space between the

inhalation and exhalation it penetrates

into the cells and when we exhale any

tension any illness and any disease

comes out as plague race mode inhale

white light and we emphasize in the

beginning of the exhalation the letting

go and

any drama any waste material any toxins

and all levels physical emotional

spiritual mental inhale white light and

exhale

and we do full five cycles like this and

then we just relax and rest and feel the

effect on all about it

and now we visualize a ball of white

light at the center of our chest at our

heart center can't see me so you can see

very intense

turns white light this is a white light

of purification of healing that is

present in the heart our innate heart

quality and again we inhale white light

from the universe that intensify the

white light in the heart and then with

the exhalation

just like the heart when it contracts it

sends blood everywhere with the

exhalation with the contraction of the

land with a contraction of the system we

send the white light everywhere in our

body so we inhale white light into our

heart we intensify the white light in

the heart when we exhale within the

white light everywhere inhaling white

light with the exhalation we send it

everywhere

and if there are areas of illness of

pain that you feel it's hard for you to

get the white light don't struggle with

it just let go and let the white light

spread on its own first two areas which

are healthy actually that are easier to

absorb white light and slowly they will

affect the other areas and you will fill

out everything filled into white light

and you realize your body stable your

breath is flowing smoothly

and your heart and mind are opened

and again focusing on the white light in

your heart you inhale white light from

the universe into your heart and when

you exhale you spread the white light

inhaling white light and exhaling until

you feel that the white light is coming

out of your skin and start spreading

outside feeling the whole space around

you until everything becomes the quality

of white light of purity

of equal purity with no difference that

like the white snow covering whatever is

there and you rest in this place

make your edges lit your contraction

just open up

and you feel the healing and the

openness

and you can move your legs your hand if

you need I looked like we had a problem

sharing the video with Israel and it

just happened now so my my apologies

meditation was similar to yesterday and

you just got joined in the right time

Shalom ray : shabbat shalom and well

welcome to the second part of this

series and today I still want to talk

about the basic part of creating

openness so yesterday we discussed the

the source of our difficulties and the

source of every illness we have

literally every illness is our tendency

to identify to grasp is our

self-identification our ego

identification identify with everything

with us something solid that will never

go away

and identifying with everything that

comes to our senses it's solid and real

this is what is called conditioned

existence an exists and it is based on a

perceiver and something to be perceived

we perceive experience coming from the

outside and we believe that we believe

in their solidity in the independent

existence which is not really the way

they are and we hold to them and in the

same way we hold to things inside and

then when things are about to change we

rebuild we fixate in this fixation is it

the root of every disease every pain

every suffering why because we react to

this to our survival response and this

is really the survival paradox this is

what I call the survival paradox what

makes us survive it was causing us to be

sick

we react through our nervous system

through our sympathetic nervous system

with fear fight and flight pahud Mahama

olive or or we react on a metabolic

level by creating a metabolic escape

that makes all of this happen so all of

this physiological effect start with our

basic fixation so our healing journey

very simple and very logical will be

melting this fixation letting go of the

fixation how do we do it the first part

that we are emphasizing yesterday and

today and we are learning a little bit

more about is by creating the openness

creating spaciousness and then main tool

for it is the non conceptual practice of

schemata calm abiding we start by

focusing on an object or focusing on our

breath and why do we have to focus

because we are not able just to let go

we are conditions it in making us as

part of the same grasping survival

response to hold two things so we use

the disease we use the problem as a

medicine instead of jumping with our

grasping instead of jumping from thought

to thought to thought to thought which

is what we do until we realize it we

hold to one thing and by holding softly

to it using our three doors our visual

field our breath and our focus slowly

all the other movements fall away and

especially when we are the eye level we

start experiencing the real qualities of

our mind the some of you may have

experienced even in this few minutes the

sense of calmness the sense of openness

spaciousness the sense of clarity the

sense of bliss

pleasant feeling in the body and finding

this space of non thoughts

this space between the thoughts what we

call non conceptual space which is not

so difficult to find

once we train in schemata and then at

some point we let go of holding and we

just let our mind rest and usually we

get carried by thoughts and when we get

carried by thoughts we can get lost

right people can sit in meditation and

say wow 20 minutes went by so quickly I

was just gone for 20 minutes well you

were just carried away by your thoughts

you were not here you were not present

so this brings us to the two basic

dialogues when we meditate one is to try

to rest in this non conceptual space and

one is to use our analytical conceptual

process to change our habits to change

our mind habits so we did it already in

the beginning of the meditation when we

prepared the mind our motivation love

and compassion we gave rise to the

understanding that all beings want to be

happy that's a conceptual training

instead of giving rise to being upset at

someone we realize that everybody wants

to be happy

they just don't know how to do it that's

like we sometimes don't know how to do

it and then there is a letting go and we

vacillate between the non conceptual

part which is the schemata power become

abiding and the contemplation which is

the inside power to be passionate

within the process of contemplation

there are different levels for example

it's a sense of anger arises the first

thing that we want to do the first

simplest thing to do that we have a

tendency is either to push it away push

it away or buy into it and grasp it and

spiral down with it

both are come from grasping when we

grasp to something we create a reaction

we want it or we don't want it we have

hoped to have it or we appear to have it

so we either rejected or we hold to it

we have to let go of this basic flow so

one way that you start doing it is just

by untie doubting if you have anger you

mentally give rise to patience and two

more kindness as an exercise and this is

the level of antidote other levels are

levels of detoxification we let it go

out of our body we clean it from our

body another level and is a deeper and

deeper level is just acceptance and

that's a profound level we just accept

whatever arises without judgment and

this is a very important level because

the acceptance can be a way of observing

things without getting involved in them

that's what mindfulness is very much

about and this is a step in meditation

it gives a big relief to the system

because we don't struggle anymore

our neurosis quite down lot of them from

a meditation point of view it's just one

step one early step and actually

mindfulness can be an obstacle to

meditation because we create this

distance between what happens and

between the observer

the level of disconnect and the level of

holding in the observation so also this

has to drop and we will talk later about

how how we do it

when we go deeper into meditation

explanations next week and then there's

the transformative quality using the

heart to transform whatever we

experience into love and compassion and

this part melting our edges melting our

grasping is at the root of open heart

medicine and will be a topic the focus

of next week's three sessions really

understanding how to train in it

so it's very important to allow

ourselves to shift from the conceptual

analytical process which is so natural

to us to the let go and if you feel that

you are stuck that you are struggling we

all do although at some point meditation

just becomes a blissful and amazing that

each of us at their own time took me

decades to get to it then don't be hard

on yourself just open your heart to

yourself

open your heart

to every other being who is going

through the same struggle and then relax

and slowly your edges will melt or

whatever is your source of refuge

whatever is your belief system your

christen you're Muslim you're Jewish

you're Buddhist just open your heart to

any divine qualities that can melt your

edges your roughness and absorb them and

then just let go so we use this a

different level what is fascinating and

important to realize and I can just

touch on it barely it's with more deeply

goes into it during the retreat so when

I have more time to teach will touch it

hopefully in other series is that each

of these levels of antidote

detoxification acceptance transformation

in the last level just freedom being

free realizing that everything is free

all of these have physiological

consequences

each of these relate to different

medical systems to differ different

treatments to different approaches so

you can start getting in early early

sense early taste how it works together

how you can figure out healing

modalities you know it's really

interesting I was just commenting and

working on a method medical device

project for quite a few years for

removal of collecting 3 and I figured

quite a few years that this survival

Drive is effecting inflammation in

certain diseases like chronic kidney

disease can actually be reversed and I'm

seeing it in the clinic even had a lot

of patients but the seven or eight that

I had all of them improved I mean using

some strong methods of course and then

you realize it for about ten years and

you work with it and this

the medical community is starting to

bubble up with the understanding that

this is possible even conceptually and

you ask yourself what makes it for

someone to be ahead of the curve what

makes it is not holding not contracting

being open the knowledge is not is not

is not mine if not yours it's part of

the universe it there there is infinite

healing possible is when we contract

that we make it impossible our heart has

this giving quality so next week we'll

go a little bit into the different

aspects a little bit deeper of the

letting go but the main emphasis will be

starting to work with the house without

to open our heart and transform negative

emotions into love and compassion and

surprisingly it is quite simple it's

much simpler than finding openness and

why because it's who we are it's what

our heart does so with this I want to

leave you for the weekend I hope that

you will get a chance to practice over

the weekend and share with others what

we talked in these two days is important

there is some unique aspects to it but

it's really more advice from regular

medicine it's really next week that

we're going to start diving into open

heart medicine and into the practice of

Tanglin and also we will teach just the

first part we will introduce some some

important aspect that are unique to this

method so as we talked to yesterday it's

part of not grasping as part of sharing

with others that's the how does we open

our heart to all living beings we

dedicate any benefit we had today and we

make the aspiration for all living

beings on this earth to find hell to

find happiness for wars to end and for

peace and harmony to pervade every cell

of each one of our bodies every molecule

of this universe so have a great weekend

thank you
