They call for our attention and refuse to be quiet. What happens if we let them know that we are resting? That we will come back to them later, but for now, we are resting. What do you discover when you rest deeply inside yourself? When you allow the layers to dropaway. When you ungrip? Let's rest together, shall we? Image by Angelina Kichukova

In the Tibetan meditation traditions, the Mahayana is the Great Vehicle. This vehicle, or practice container, carries the bodhisattva towards enlightenment on the dual wings of compassion and wisdom. The bodhisattva promises to delay complete enlightenment until all sentient beings are liberated. What kind of vehicle are you travelling in? Is it fit for purpose? This meditation takes us under the skin and finds space for knowing to arise. Let your inner wisdom show the way forward. Image by Meditista

A meditation from our weekly online group circle. Like to join us? Our modern world is designed to help us scratch the itch. Constant notifications from email, social media and phone apps offer temporary pleasure and provide distraction from what is present in our body and mind. In this meditation, we take time to explore sensations and feelings, reaching beyond intial responses for a deeper experience. When we apply intention and attention in this way, it's possible to reach a state of absorption where the mind, curious and engaged in inquiry, is able to focus on its own qualities. This naturally brings relaxation to the body, release of tension, and a calm state of being. Image by Annie Spratt on Unsplash

In the healing world, body imbalances can often be resolved internally or externally. Fixing structural imbalance without addressing the tissue systems that keep it in place makes change short-lived. As does massaging tissue without examining how unhelpful patterns came about. For it to be lasting, outer and inner change must come together.
