Guided Meditation: Tonglen for Self-at-all-Ages
Episode 37
Thursday, 3 April, 2025

Tonglen is part of the ancient compassion practice tool box of Seven Points of Mind Training. In this meditation, you're guided in Tonglen for yourself, at every stage of being, from pre-birth, though life, death and afterlife. Follow the instructions as you hear them and learn in real time where you are self-compassionate and where it does not yet flow freely. The best results will come from following along without talking to yourself as we go. Just listen and do—it's very simple. And then notice the moment-by-moment experience. There are several guided Tonglen meditations on the Wisdom and Compassion podcast list. We'll post more this year.
