ENCORE REPLAY MEDITATION
Ham Sa with Kelly Blaser
*All content is now available until Sunday, Jan 29th.
Today's meditation practice will bring all of our prior practices together. This practice will feel familiar to those who have been following along each day as we visited this practice on Day 6. Today we will add imagery and symbology as well as a new conceptual framework that in a sense is the crème de la crème of non-dual practices. This meditation is also much longer and much quieter than the rest of our practices have been. Sitting in the fathomless spaciousness of silence is the core of working with the infinitude of our being, and brings deep healing to our emotional and psychological states.

Experience Being Breathed with Kelly Blaser
Today's practice is a legacy practice in that it has been part of the Power of Meditation since the early days, 6 years ago. The practice is called Experience Being Breathed. Perhaps for it’s sheer simplicity, it has been one of the most loved and replayed meditations I’ve ever created.
Tab #1
Venerable Pannavati Bhikkhuni
Founder of Heartwood Refuge, an intentional spiritual community, and abbot of Embracing Simplicity Hermitage, a 21st century trans-lineage Buddhist Order.
In this interview we explore:
- How esoteric terms such as non-duality can be misleading, and the inevitable limitations of all semantic definitions
- The razor’s edge humans walk in creating spiritual communities, and the process of living together as a training ground in learning to release mental constructs, grow, and collaborate.
- Ven Pannavati’s reflections on the Heart Sutra from Heartwood Refuge; seeing form as emptiness and emptiness as form.
- The power of the essential human drive towards happiness, and corollary importance of investigating the causes and conditions of happiness
- Transforming our understanding of what formal meditation practice is, so that we can simply play the game of accessing who we truly are in every moment
Free Gift
Venerable Pannavati has multiple courses that she is offering for free.
The teaching content is primarily discourses and sutras from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Many of H.H.'s talks were delivered to primarily Chinese audiences and some were given many years ago. Venerable shares these talks and helps us understand them as westerners and discusses how to apply the teachings in our day to day life. His Holiness emphasizes the importance of cultivation- carrying out the four immeasurable states of loving-kindness, compassion, altruistic joy, and non-differentiating generosity in our thoughts, words, and deeds.

- Understanding the neurobiology of the human propensity towards social comparison
- Understanding how unique and perhaps unconscious social comparison metrics can be, as an aid to raising awareness and acceptance
- How to make our neurosis the manure of bodhi and practice using disappointments as opportunities
- The non-dual path of getting off the self-evaluation roller coaster through loving awareness

Tab #1
Interoceptive Awareness Practice with Kelly Blaser
Today's practice is what we call an “Energy Circuit” practice. We begin by generating groundedness, and then we open up our interoceptive awareness of the organism that we walk around in on the planet. Some “spiritual folks” refer to the body as a “meat suit” – a borrowed bit of form that the formlessness of the sacred steps into for a jaunt on the proverbial stage of materiality. This can certainly help to mitigate our attachment to the body, and help us to release any self-esteem issues we may have pinned to our sense of our bodies. However, true non-dual
Awareness allows us an even deeper way in, where we get to go into the interior of the organism, settle the body and the nervous system, and even enjoy being inside this body. I hope today’s practice allows you to do just that.
Tab #1
Jennifer Prugh
Founder of Breathe Together Yoga, the JOY of Yoga School of Integrative Learning. Jennifer has a Master’s Degree in Art and Consciousness, eight years as an associate professor of storytelling, storyboarding, and creativity, and ten years as a professional artist.
In this interview we explore:
- The importance of having a guide when beginning a meditation practice
- Moving into the field of the body to move beyond constrictions of conditioned mind and into non-judgemental awareness
- Jennifer’s background as an artist and how she uses drawing and symbology to help people access, witness, and share emotional energies arising in present moment awareness
- What Non-Duality really means and how witnessing can be an aid or a hindrance to non-dual experiencing

In this interview we explore:
- The roots of Yoga in Sāṁkhya and Vedic Revelation from the Upaniṣad-s
- How ancient philosophical traditions inquired into the big questions of what are we, and what is relationship with self, with others, with the greater whole, and with source
- How to transcend reductive understandings of distinctions between duality and non-duality
- How living symbols, in addition to philosophical frameworks and queries within the lineages of wisdom traditions give us clarity in finding our purpose, reducing suffering, achieving our highest potential, and preparing for end of life

Tab #1
Energy Circuit Practice with Metta – with Kelly Blaser
Today our meditative practice shifts from our prior focus on developing interoceptive, or interiorized awareness, and breath work, to a new focus: Anchoring the Positive.
We will draw forward the practice from yesterday, an energy circuit practice, and integrate a metta practice into the work. If you have a background with Metta practice, you will find this a radically different way to access it, in that you'll experience yourself both as the recipient of metta and the source of metta. May your practice be peaceful.

- How to understand Ayurveda, a sister science to Yoga, and apply it to your own self-care and meditation practice
- How the practice of self-compassion can create a bridge within that is truly the root of non-dual healing

Anchoring Positive Healing Anxiety with Kelly Blaser
Today's meditative practice fits within the category of Anchoring the Positive. It’s obviously lovely when the circumstances of one’s life are positive, and one of the traditional, overarching aims of meditative practice is to alleviate suffering for oneself and for all sentient beings. Dovetailing with this intention is the possibility of generating a field of energy within that is positive and protective in nature. We can train ourselves to use the mind, the felt-sense in the body, and the imaginal realm to anchor into positive states. The particular focus today is around settling anxiety and calming oneself by anchoring into the positive field of not just Metta, but the other four BrahmaViharas; Compassion, Empathetic Joy, and Equanimity.
Tab #1
Dr. Peter Fenner
Writer, author, spiritual coach, and trainer in teachings of deep Buddhist philosophy and Founder of Timeless Wisdom. Peter is qualified with a Ph.D. in the philosophical psychology of the Madhyamaka school of Mahayana Buddhism.
In this interview we explore:
- Understanding non-duality as a process of deconstructing of one’s conditioned reference points and feeling the brain being re-wired
- The two mountains that students move beyond on the route to non-dual experience: Needing to “do” and Needing to “know”
- How to access the purity of the non-dual without resisting the inevitable re-constitution of conditioned reality
- The “pointing out” process that a teacher or therapist can offer to those who wish to undermine attachments and enter into the nature of unconditioned non-dual awareness

Today's meditative practice fits into the category of Opening to Oneness and Centering in Non- Dual Awareness. This is a traditional practice from the Vijñana Bhairava Tantra, a thousand year old text from the Non-dual Śaiva Tantra. This practice is based on the first of the yuktis or methodologies for yoking with the non-dual ground of awareness.

- A peek into the framework of Human Design and how it can help us to return to intrinsic nature, intuition, and authentic authority
- How the Human Design system can combine with strategies and practices from yoga, meditation, and self-healing to offer a unique, tailored methodology for healing

Heart Coherence Meditation
This meditation uses breath, awareness, and intention to facilitate a connection between our head and our hearts. When this link is made our bio-electromagnetic field becomes entrained with harmonious, or coherent, frequency patterns. Cultivating coherence has been associated with a healthier, functioning body, elevated mood, greater ease in relationships, and increased creative power to influence our reality.

Tab #1
Neil Pearson
This session explores that yoga helps to decrease pain and improve ease of movement at least in part because of what we learn about pain when we practice. Pain is a human condition, and is commonly experienced during asana and meditation practices. At its worst, pain places a significant personal burden on over 20% of the population. It is intertwined with addiction, mental health, physical disability and disconnection. Unexplored misconceptions (avidya) about pain can limit recovery, and increase both fear (abhinivesha) and aversion (dvesha). The acquisition of knowledge, on the other hand, is often the foundation from which changes arise and suffering decreases. Research demonstrates the benefits of educating people in pain – of helping people reconceptualize pain and decease its threat – value. Typically, yoga is not considered as education – as an experiential approach to provide repeated opportunities for individuals to learn about, and subsequently reconceptualize pain. This session explores techniques of yoga as educational agents, suggesting that reconceptualizing pain and pain care can be more powerful when experienced in the body.

Tab #1
Like yesterday, the focus of this meditation is on digesting difficult material. Taking a non-dual perspective, our practices are not to help us to get rid of difficult material, but rather to expand our understanding of the non-dual ground of awareness, such that we relate to difficult material differently. While many of our practices have originated in Shaivism today's practice comes from the Vajrayana, or Buddhist Tantra.
You may have heard of this practice, called Tonglen. It is sometimes referred to as the practice of sending and receiving, or “exchanging self for other.”

Alejandra Siroka
A transformative communication teacher and coach who’s devoted her life to studying and teaching how language and communication shape our lives and relationships. As a truth seeker, she integrates scientific approaches and holistic methods to access, express, and live our deepest truths skillfully and compassionately.
In this interview we explore:
- The ways that a meditation practice can support conscious communication
- Elemental components of meditation practice that are also components of the process of Language Alchemy™.
- Corollaries and distinctions between language alchemy and non-violent communication
- The importance of attending to somatics as well as sociocultural influences such as our “culture of dominance” imprints when transforming our communication
- The field of psycholinguistics and how we can consider language as a lens through which we perceive and construct reality

Self-sabotaging communication quiz
Discover your most self-sabotaging communication habit. Know which habit you need to keep in check to have the life and relationships you most want and deserve. Most of us are very good at noticing how others don’t communicate skillfully with us. If someone asked us, we’d be able to say how others should make changes in their communication so that we can be more at ease, feel safer or more connected. Yet, communication is a two-way street. Unless we deeply explore our communication habits, we won’t know exactly how our communication blocks us from meaningful interactions, healthy relationships, and a true sense of connection. When you take the quiz, you'll receive a free mini video course with actions to take to keep this self-sabotaging communication habit in check.
