Spiritual teachings throughout the ages have reminded us that underneath the dust of our ego conditioning and defenses, our essence is pure loving awareness. In these times of radical uncertainty in our world, abiding in our spiritual depth so we can respond to life from a consciousness of real love and wisdom is more important than ever. What does it really take to not only experience the beauty of our essence on the meditation cushion, but to actually come from loving awareness as we meet the challenges and invitations of daily life in these wild times?
In this two-part webinar, Miranda will open up these four beautiful words “Being-Pure-Loving-Awareness” as a way for us to explore together how we can live meaningfully and be a blessing to our loved ones and wider community. What does it take to deepen in our Being? What does it mean to be Pure? What’s in the way of you seeing, relating and acting from Love? What does it mean to be awake and aware?
Through rich teaching and palpable transmission, Miranda will speak from the heart about the ongoing work of bringing our ego anxiety and confusion to the light of loving awareness so our obstacles can be illuminated and transformed by a Grace deeper than our mind. She will take you through a powerful 100% forgiveness meditation, where together, we will let loving awareness touch our own human imperfections and that of others. From a consciousness of love, the clear light of awareness can help us to see, relate and act from love and discriminating wisdom where it matters most. This webinar will include an exquisite mantra and a potent meditation practice.
Themes we will explore together – how to:
· Deepen in your Being through the practice of Ego Relaxation – being present and undefended right where you are.
· Cultivate a Pure attitude – keeping it real as you walk your spiritual path rather than “faking it till you make it”.
· 100% Forgiveness – a potent meditation practice to let Grace touch all that keeps you from loving everything and everyone.
· “I AM” Awareness: Seeing clearly and responding wisely as we navigate family, work, and these wild times.
