Recharging with Soul Retrieval in the New Year
Dear Friends,
We love to share with you all! We'll start with a beautiful line from Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche's upcoming book, The True Source of Healing: How the Ancient Tibetan Practice of Soul Retrieval Can Transform and Enrich Your Life:
"Recall a moment in your life when you felt complete, satisfied, fully alive, at home in yourself. Imagine that it is possible for you to feel that way not only now and then but most of the time. This is what soul retrieval practice offers."
— Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche
Stay tuned for more details about Rinpoche's new book scheduled to be published in English this summer by Hay House.
Rinpoche hits the nail on the head in this issue's teaching excerpt—he tells us the key to success in bringing meditation practice fully into our lives! This edited excerpt is selected from Rinpoche's Jan. 10, 2015, webcast, “Reconnecting with Your Joyful Essence: An Introduction to the Tibetan Practice of Soul Retrieval.”
