Within each of us is a source of unbounded spaciousness, infinite awareness, and a natural joy of being. At The 3 Doors, we refer to this source as the inner refuge. By turning our attention inward and focusing on the stillness of the body, the silence of inner speech, or the spaciousness of mind – the three doors – we enter this inner refuge, the core of unlimited creative potential. The Inner Refuge is taught as a seated meditation practice. Once learned, this meditation method may be practiced from moment to moment throughout your day, to reduce overthinking and recharge your energy.

The source book for these teachings is Awakening the Luminous Mind by Tenzin Wangyal.

Explore the healing capacity of sound. In this Tibetan meditation, known as the Five Warrior Syllables, we bring our attention to five subtle energy centers in the body (chakras) and vocalize a sound, A, OM, HUNG, RAM or DZA, at each location. As we relax into the vibrations and rest in that silence, a natural confidence arises that goes beyond regrets, fears, hopes, and accomplishments. This practice helps to clear obstacles and overcome negativity.

“The term warrior refers to the ability to conquer the forces of negativity. Sacred sound has the power to eliminate obstacles, emotional blocks, and mental obscurations…” p. 8, Tibetan Sound Healing, by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche – the source book for these teachings.
