August Practice Gatherings

Dear friends,
August brings three opportunities to practise together, each offering a different aspect of healing and support.

Tuesday 11th August – Shanglon Dorje Protector Practice 8pm AEST UTC+10 Our monthly Shanglon practice is dedicated to clearing obstacles, strengthening protection, and creating the conditions for our practice and our lives to unfold with greater ease. This is a quiet but deeply supportive practice that has become an important part of our community's monthly rhythm. Register here to receive the link: https://form.jotform.com/260688030980865

13th August – Hooking Back the Life Force 8pm AEST UTC+10
This special ceremony from the Yuthok Nyingthik healing tradition calls back our wandering bLa (life force), tsé (life span), and sog (vital energy). During times of stress, illness, grief, or major life change, it can feel as though part of ourselves has become scattered. This beautiful practice gently invites those lost energies to return, restoring vitality, stability and connection. Register here: https://bit.ly/3TiNPmf

Thursday 20th August – Medicine Buddha Healing Practice
8pm AEST UTC+10
We conclude the month with our Medicine Buddha Healing Practice, gathering together to offer healing for ourselves, those we love, and all beings experiencing suffering. Medicine Buddha reminds us that genuine healing arises through the union of wisdom and compassion, qualities that are already present within each of us.

All three gatherings are offered online and everyone is warmly welcome, whether you have practised with us for many years or are joining for the first time.
I hope you can join us for one, or perhaps all three.

Hooking Back the Life Force
Thursday August 13th

This ceremony for Hooking Back the Life Force comes from the healing practices of the Yuthok Nyingthik.

It is a special practice to call back the wandering bLa (life force), tsé (life span), and sog (vital force). It can be performed both for ourselves and for others.

What is bLa?
In Tibetan, bLa refers to our supreme life-supporting energy. It is the pure energy of the five elements - the essential protective force that supports vitality, wellbeing and resilience.
Our bLa can become weakened or scattered through illness, emotional shock, grief, fear or periods of great stress. This ceremony gently recalls and restores this precious life force.

This is a free offering and everyone is warmly welcome.

Facilitated by Karen Stone

A recording will be sent to all registered participants, so if you're unable to attend live, you'll still be able to receive the full ceremony.

There are two beautiful opportunities to practice together this month at Arura Healing Centre, and everyone is very welcome.

At times when the world can feel overwhelming, globally, locally, and personally, it can be such a support to gather in practice, to turn towards healing, compassion and protection not only for ourselves, but for all who are suffering. These monthly sessions are offered in that spirit, and whether you are completely new or have practiced for many years, you are warmly invited to join us.

On Monday July 13th at 8pm Melbourne time, we will gather for Shanglon Dorje Protector Practice, a simple and heartfelt practice to seek healing, protection, the removal of obstacles, and blessings for all beings. It is a chance to come together with a shared aspiration, and to offer our practice for the benefit of others as well as ourselves. You can register here to receive the link: https://form.jotform.com/260688030980865

Then on Wednesday July 22nd, we will meet for our monthly Medicine Buddha Healing Practice. Medicine Buddha, Sangye Menla, embodies healing through wisdom and compassion, and this practice offers a gentle space to settle body and breath, connect with healing intention, and meet whatever arises with awareness and kindness. You can register here: https://form.jotform.com/260687842618873

Both sessions are free to attend, with no prerequisites, and all are welcome. If you would like to join us regularly, you can also download the full calendar of monthly practice dates here: arura.com.au/coursesandworkshops
