    Skymind: Machig Labdrön & Open Awareness

    The great 11th century Tibetan yogini Machig Labdrön offers this fundamental instruction: “don’t search…rest in your nature.” Her teaching is a beautiful reminder of our innate wholeness, and a radical invitation to meet totality “as it is.” This profoundly direct instruction invites us on a path of intimacy: to meet ourselves.
