creators of the Tara Dances.  The movement and prayers are expressions of compassion. They honor the ways of knowing of the original people of South Asia, and are associated with the path of compassion and enlightenment of the East. The three jewels mentioned in the meditation are the “teachers”, their teachings and the community.

Joining these practices, West and East, promotes a personal sense of balance and Oneness with All That Is. I find that it is a way to begin my day with grace and mindfulness. As the movement meditation requires some physicality, participants are encouraged to modify to meet their own needs.  In my personal practice, I do three full cycles of the combined prayers.

You may wish to follow along with me in the video or you may wish to develop your own meditation from your sources of wisdom and encouragement.
