Discovering White Tara & Longevity : Shamans & Siddhas 2016 | 3/27/2018

Discovering White Tara and True Longevity with Isa Gucciardi Ph.D. from Menla’s Shamans & Siddhas: Meeting at the Crossroads of Shamanism & Tantra 2016 Retreat

In this video Isa Gucciardi Ph.D. discusses the value of visualization + meditation in healing and personal transformation.

Includes a discussion of spiritual + physical longevity and a guided White Tara Meditation adapted from the Tibetan Buddhist mind training practices.

(Please note: This video is a recording of a sound healing using crystal signing bowls at loud levels, please adjust your listening device volume before using headphones.)

 

“If, we adopt a more affectionate, appreciative and concerned attitude towards each other, our lives will become more meaningful. If we can contribute to the happiness and prosperity of the whole world, it will be worth leading a long life.

“Of course, there are simple physical factors that can contribute to longer life. One is basic hygiene. Another is that while you have good hospital facilities, you don’t have enough qualified medical staff working in them. This is like the schools that need more qualified and dedicated teachers.

“You need to keep up your health. Take proper advice about diet and the importance of nutritious food. Eat less white rice. Take more exercise. Do circumambulations as you say your prayers. It saddens me to see knowledgeable students and teachers in poor health. Receiving blessings and performing rituals won’t solve this; you need to adopt more practical steps. Taking urgent care of your health is the most important aspect of ensuring you live a long life. Of course, as I’ve already said, inner peace and less stress have a beneficial effect on your physical well-being too
