"This is Eileen Daily on behalf of Expert Village and in this segment we will talk about the Tonglen meditation for individual practice. Tonglen acknowledges the suffering in one's life and works with the breath to assist in transmuting and bringing extra Chi and light into one's awareness. For example, getting comfortable, connecting with your breath. Imagine something that is causing you ill right now whether it is pain or a particular issue. Inhale that issue as if it were some kind of dark black smoke and exhale into it white light. Inhale the black smoke, exhale the white light. You don't actually take in the suffering you transmute it to the level of your breath. The same practice can be done for any individual that you know or parts of the world that are in need of assistance so again imagining that individual's problems, seeing it as black smoke and exhaling white light into the fullness to allow transcendence and transmutation of the issue or problem. Tonglen is a practice that can be done anywhere or anytime and allows one's compassion to be strengthened. Watch our next segment on the conclusion of healing traditions of the East segment on China."
