This recorded live webcast is Part 2 of a free, 12-month course on The True Source of Healing. Like every other video of the course, it can also be viewed separately.
According to the Tibetan Bon teachings of soul retrieval, when certain elemental qualities become lost to us, we lose parts of our soul. When we are able to retrieve those qualities — when the essences of the five natural elements of earth, water, fire, air and space come into balance within us — our soul is restored to health. In the teaching session of this recorded webcast, Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche discusses the five elements, their characteristic qualities, and signs of balance and imbalance; and explains the outer, inner, and sacred elements and how they can influence us physically, energetically, mentally, and spiritually. Rinpoche then gives suggestions for practicing in the weeks and months to come; guides a simple meditation practice for connecting deeply with each of the elemental qualities; and answers students’ questions.
The yearlong course is based on Rinpoche’s book The True Source of Healing: How the Ancient Tibetan Practice of Soul Retrieval Can Transform and Enrich Your Life (Hay House, July 2015).
Volevo ringraziare il Maestro e il centro Ligmincha per aver messo a disposizione di tutti questa conoscenza preziosa che il Tibet ha saputo così ben custodire per millenni e che ora riversa sul mondo moderno che tanto bisogno ha di riconnettersi alla sorgente, alla natura e alla propria interiorità. Ho trovato molto stimolante e interessante l’esposizione per me che muovo i mieie primi passi in questa via. In verità sono alla ricerca di un centro dove poter incontrare un maestro perché voglio valutare la fattibilità di intraprendere la via dello Dzogchen. Ho letto e sto leggendo alcuni libri, ma sono tutti molto discorsivi e non trovo pratiche. Mi piacerebbe incontrare qualcuno con esperienza per confrontarmi e fare una valutazione più seria.
I wanted to thank the Master and the Ligmincha center for having made available to everyone this precious knowledge that Tibet has been able to keep so well for millennia and which now pours onto the modern world that it so much needs to reconnect to the source, to nature and to one’s own interior. . I found the exposure for me taking my first steps in this way very stimulating and interesting. In truth, I’m looking for a center where I can meet a teacher because I want to evaluate the feasibility of taking the Dzogchen route. I have read and am reading some books, but they are all very discursive and I don’t find practices. I’d like to meet someone with experience to compare myself and make a more serious assessment.
