Dwelling in the Heart of Reality
D3S2 - The Prayer of the Heart
Lama Alan · Eva Natanya · 123 minutes · recorded January 1, 2020
Eva Natanya teaches the prayer of the heart from Simeon the New Theologian, whose instructions are physical to the point of controversy and which Father Silouan, relaying his own teacher, called more a gesture of what happens in that experience than a technique. In the guided practice we let awareness fall from the head into the heart, call on the name of Jesus, then release even the words and rest in the darkness Simeon says comes first. Lama Alan objects to her calling pristine awareness unique.
