Learn to Meditate: Awakening the Heart


Awakening to the innate intelligence and warmth of the heart is a central feature of the Dharma Ocean path. The practices presented here provide an entry into this essential aspect of the teachings.

Begin with the first track, Awakening the Heart. Once you feel well established in this practice, start working with Opening the Heart. Sessions three and four expand on the Opening the Heart  practice with additional instructions for extending loving-kindness towards oneself (maitri) and a loved one (tonglen).
