Energizing & Walking the Path of Dignity
These practices draw from the energetic archetypes of the meditative path — the Tiger, the Snow Lion, the Garuda, and the Dragon. Each represents a quality of resilience, joy, fearlessness, and wisdom. Meditating with these dignities helps us find our own inner strength and vitality. When life feels overwhelming, they can ground us in courage and confidence. This section will help you stand tall in your own dignity and bring your full self to the world.
8 items- Tiger: Energy of ContentednessThe tiger energy of power, resilience and strength flows through us all. Touching down into this, becoming more aware and conscious of it can bring us peace and contentedness, and resilience in the face of all that we are facing these days. Practicing with Tiger energy has been a very powerful practice in my life, and helps me enormously through difficult times, as well as feeling wonderful in powerful times.
