The Hebrew word RUACH, meaning wind or breath, is the archetype for SPIRIT, which is the always available bridge leading us from gross to subtle states of Consciousness. In this meditation, Trillium teacher Sandra Glickman leads us to work with our breath as we explore these important questions: Where are you in life right now? Where do you want to go? What is in the way of attaining this desire? What is the next step? If you explore and feel into the answers to these questions and begin to include them into your being, you can build a bridge toward your vision.

Dragon’s Heart: Love’s Only Sacrifice Meditation with Bill Miller
In some traditions, the Dragon is a creature that is comfortable in any environment. Like us, whatever the world she’s in, she is what she is, and she has to be able to respond. Living and dying is happening in every moment, and it is sorrowful and difficult. Feeling into the source of things, even just for a brief moment, is greatly relieving and easing to whatever degree we create the space beyond boundaries and mistaken views.This Dragon’s Heart Practice helps us to live as the dynamic and flowing expressions of reality that we are. As Trillium teacher Bill Miller puts it: “Fear is certainly part of our experience, but it doesn’t have to run the show.”

Join Trillium teacher Fax Gilbert as he leads a discussion through this important part of the Trillium path.
