WHAT IS DEATH MEDITATION? A transformative journey through the portals of birth, death, and rebirth.
Many cultures honor and value death and dying by bringing awareness of impermanence into daily life. The Buddhist practice of maranasati invites mindfulness of one’s death by inviting presence at all times. This presencing of death is a core teaching in Tibetan Buddhism.
We guide you through the last moments of your life, creating a safe space to explore the ways you've lived and what matters most in your life.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO DIE? To invite in more aliveness, presence, appreciation and joy and deepen your understanding of what’s important in your life, and what matters most to you.
Our relationship with death expands our capacity for living. We don’t have to wait until we encounter our own mortality or the mortality of a loved one to connect with what matters most in life. In this Death Meditation, we embrace the Ultimate Reality in a safe and nurturing way that explores the continuing play of Life through Death.
The crux of it is: that when we lay down to die we actually invite in more life.
In Dream’s words: “Although initiated very early to death through the passing of my brother and grandfather, it was only in the last decade that I began a deeper relationship with the profound transformative power of death--through the back to back deaths of my father and my husband. Death has undoubtedly become one of my greatest teachers.”
IS THIS FOR ME? This practice is for beginners and those with more advanced practices alike. It's for those who are curious about exploring death as a gateway to more living, for those facing their own imminent death and for those who have experienced death in their lives. It's for everyone dreaming of a safe container to explore our human dance with death.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Please bring a journal/paper/pen, prepare a place to lay down, get cozy...and prepare to die.
WHAT ARE WE REALLY GOING TO DO?
During this meditation Dream will guide you through the last hours of your death and into your rebirth with opportunities to bring presence and loving awareness into those final hours. Deva will add the harmonic frequency of sound healing, nourishing your limbic system and taking you deeper into the practice.
Together we'll explore our edges, leaning into any fear that we may hold about death and opening more fully to the beauty of NOW.
Ultimately, this is a transformative practice that empowers us to deeply embrace life.
We will complete the journey with an optional 30 minutes of grounding and community integration.
