Priming Ourselves for Devotion

In this meditation, Dr. Eva Natanya guides us first in identifying and settling into the elements of earth, water, fire and air within our subjective experience. From this foundation, she invites us to feel, as vividly as possible, the pain and suffering of all beings. We naturally question why existence itself is so difficult, and feel intense longing for someone to show us how to alleviate this suffering. We then release into a trust that, though incapable of fathoming particular answers to our question, still knows that our heart’s prayer is a doorway to alleviating this suffering for all.

This is the first of three guided meditations from a one-day retreat Dr. Natanya led in partnership with the Contemplative Consciousness Network (CCN) entitled “Devotion as a Path to Divinisation and Buddhahood.” Below, please find the link to purchase the full set of retreat recordings through the CCN, as well as links to the other two guided meditations from this retreat.
