Welcome to "5 Minutes of Peace," where we offer you moments to reflect, recharge, and renew. Today, we introduce you to Andy, The Empath Guide, whose journey is as bold as it is enlightening. As a meditation champion and an apprentice of the Shaolin way, Andy blends Western psychology, NLP, and hypnosis with Eastern wisdom. His mission? To help fellow empaths thrive.In this episode, Andy shares the Inner Smile Meditation, one of the foundational practices of esoteric Tao. This meditation, accompanied by microcosmic and healing sounds, aims to create harmony, balance, and vitality from the inside out. By directing a gentle, loving smile inwardly to different parts of the body, you express gratitude and promote smooth functioning.Meditation Instructions:1. Preparation: Find a comfortable spot. Relax your shoulders and shake out any tension. Maintain a straight but not stiff posture.2. Breathing: Inhale deeply through your nose, hold briefly, then exhale slowly through your mouth.3. Facial Relaxation: Let your facial muscles relax, unclench your jaw, soften your cheeks, and release tension around your eyes. Imagine a warm, gentle smile spreading across your face.4. **Inner Smile**: Direct your inner smile to various body parts: - Eyes: Relax and feel gratitude for your vision. - Shoulders and Neck: Release any weight and stiffness. - Heart: Appreciate its vital role. - Lungs: Fill with fresh air, releasing tension. - Liver: Release stress and toxins. - Stomach and Digestive System: Aid digestion and comfort. - Kidneys: Cleanse and refresh.Conclusion: Focus on your breath, guiding you to calmness. Exhale remaining tension, inhale warmth and wellbeing. Finish with a final deep breath and gently return to the present moment, keeping your inner smile throughout the day.Thank you for joining us.

Luang Por Tongdaeng Varapañño is the abbot of Wat Doi Phra Jao Ton Luang near Chiang Mai. He was born in Sakon Nakhon Province in the Northeast of Thailand in August 1954. At the young age of 13 he ordained as a novice with Luang Por Wan Uttamo. Some time later, he trained in the monastery of Luang Por Waen, Wat Doi Mae Pang. After his full ordination as a bhikkhu, Luang Por Tongdaeng's most important teachers were Luang Por Prasit, and Luang Por Plien of Wat Aranyavivek. Luang Por Thong Daeng answers questions about the topics: - Why did the teachers of the Buddha not realize the Dhamma even though they had developed strong Samadhi? - How to develop loving kindness in daily life? - Overcoming difficlties and pain in our meditation practice CLICK HERE FOR PHOTO GALLERY OF LUANG POR'S VISIT TO DHAMMAGIRI https://www.dhammagiri.net/luang-por-...

Luang Por Tongdaeng was so kind to perform for us the traditional ceremony of taking refuge in the 'Triple Gem' (Buddha, Dhamma & Sangha), and to observe the 8 precepts. Dr Lakmini is leading our lay community in requesting the Three Refuges and the 8 precepts from Luang Por Next, Luang Por recites 'Namo tassa...' (Homage to the Buddha) three times. The lay community repeats 'Namo tassa...' three times. Luang Por recites each of the 8 precepts in Pali, followed by the lay community repeating each precepts. The Buddha recommended that laity keeps eight precepts on the 'Uposatha' holidays, marking the four moon phases (about once a week). Lay disciples of the Buddha are encouraged to dedicate these days to spiritual practice, avoiding any distractions and spending the day meditating, listening to Dhamma, visiting monasteries, and making good karma. As our modern calendar doesn't follow the moon phases, at Dhammagiri we usually do our One Day Meditation Retreat with 8 precpts on the weekend: Every Saturday 07.30 am; and Sundays closest to the full moon at 09.00 am. The eight precepts are more focussed on renunciation and developing meditation than the regular five precepts. Although there's nothing 'evil' in eating in the evening, or listening to music, these activites still distract the mind, incline us to sensuality, and make the develpment of samādhi much more difficult. English Translation of the Eight Precepts: "I undertake the training rule to abstain from intentionally killing any living being." (including animals, even insects) "I undertake the training rule to abstain from stealing." "I undertake the training rule to abstain from any non-celibate conduct." "I undertake the training rule to abstain from lying." "I undertake the training rule to abstain from alcohol or any drugs that cause intoxication and heedlessness." "I undertake the training rule to abstain from eating at the unsuitable time." ('unsuitable' in this context means from noon until next dawn, i.e. one eats only in the morning) "I undertake the training rule to abstain from dancing, singing, music, shows & entertainments, garlands, perfumes, cosmetics, make up, jewelry and adornments." "I undertake the training rule to abstain from high or luxurious seats/beds" After the ceremony has concluded, Luang Por provides some instructions for the following session of silent meditation, translated by Ajahn Moshe.

When we lack faith and feel like we are not safe or guided by something bigger than ourselves, and or feeling lost, alone, and not protected in this world, it becomes difficult to give ourselves permission to heal and disrupt ancestral karmic patterns of pain, trauma, anxiety, and depression. A lot of this has to do with our 7th chakra known as Crown Chakra Today we are going to be practicing a kundalini yoga meditation for the crown chakra that not only will give you the permission to finally heal but will strengthen your faith and surround you with protection This is a really important meditation when you are losing hope and feel that nothing is working for you. Please see below for Meditation Instructions and music details. Chii-a means six in Gurmukhi. This meditation is an experience of the six “unchangeable sounds:” Har, Hare, Haree, Wa, He, Guru. They are associated with the six directions: east, west, north, south, up, and down. When you meditate on these six in this way, the Universe covers you. You chant and God listens with love. And sign up for my weekly email #disruptor where I share more kundalini yoga meditation to disrupt ancestral karmic patterns in your lineage. Sat.Nam The Practice Posture: Sit in Easy Pose. Mudra: Gyan Mudra: touch the tip of the thumb to the tip of the Jupiter finger (index finger). The other fingers are relaxed. Mantra: Har Haray Haree Wah Hay Guru. Chant using the tip of your tongue. Eyes: Close your eyes. Movement: Move your arms in the following sequence: Stretch your arms out to the sides with the palms facing forward. Keep your elbows straight. Chant Har. Without bringing your hands near your shoulders, move your hands directly in front of you with your palms down, elbows by your sides, and your forearms pointing straight out in front of your body. Chant Hare (haray). Bring your hands up by your shoulders, palms facing out. Chant Haree. Stretch your arms out to the sides again. Chant Wah. Bring your arms directly to the front, palms down. Chant Hay. Bring your hands up near your shoulders. Chant Guru. Mantra Music on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4xu57y...
