Waking Up

The experience of waking up in the morning is a potent opportunity to begin the day with a fresh mind and open heart. In this short practice, Mingyur Rinpoche guides us through a few simple steps to help us stay connected to awareness, compassion, and wisdom as we begin to engage the world. The mp3 audio file of this meditation can be downloaded on mobile devices and used as an alarm bell, literally and metaphorically waking us up each morning. You can discuss this teaching in the Monthly Teachings Forum under the topic Waking Up.
