Guided practices:
poetry and practice - arrival practice
Guided practices help us to pause, rest, focus and deeply experience the present moment of our life. They remind us to come back to ourselves over and over, so that resting our presence in our body becomes a habit.
These recordings are offered freely, and donations really help make them possible. If you’d like to make a donation to support this work, you can donate via Stripe (white button) or via Paypal (blue button).
Wishing you much joy and ease in your practice,
Orlaith
The light that you see by
This practice was the opening of our poetry retreat on 3 July 2021. In it we draw our awareness home to our bodies and settle into our circle, then we sit with an excerpt from The Radiance Sutras (translated by Lorin Roche).
May your light illuminate your kind heart.
Go to a wide-open space,
Gaze without looking anywhere.
The mind stops its building of thoughts,
And rests on its own foundation--
Immensity.
The light that you see by
Is the light that comes from inside.
