Next Episode: Self-Tonglen (20 min)
Tonglen is an ancient Buddhist practice developed to relieve suffering or anguish. In Tibetan ‘tong’ can be translated as ‘letting go’ or ‘sending out’ and ‘len’ can mean ‘receiving’ or ‘accepting’. One of the advantages of this practice is that we don't have to work out what our problems are. We don't have to engage in months or years of therapy, we don't have to follow a guru or join a group. We just follow a simple, basic rhythm of thought, breath and emotional patterning and the suffering ceases or at least reduces. It is one of the oldest, and very best, brain hacks of all time. This is a 10 minute version of the 'Self-Tonglen' practice.
