"We're going to do an hour-long guided meditation, which you are welcome to partake in, or welcome to ignore, and just sit and do your own silent meditation if you wish. So to begin with let's move our bodies together a little bit. [guided stretching] Just find a really nice spot where your spine feels just right. Not stiff, not tight, not rigid, relaxed, open, and yet upright and balanced-just right."
"This is a seed syllable that comes from ancient shamanic practice of dispelling negative energies-dispelling demons. But of course, in the deeper, or later, or, let's say, more esoteric interpretation, it's dispelling our ignorance, dispelling our delusion, dispelling our lack of clarity. It becomes the seed syllable of seeing emptiness clearly, seeing the actual nature of our experience-brightly, clearly, and profoundly. Okay, so let's do Hum together."
The Alembic is an alchemical vessel where mind and matter meet for transformation. Participants are invited to an hour-long guided meditation with optional silent practice. Begin with gentle movement and guided stretching to find a balanced, relaxed upright spine. Chant the seed syllable Hum, pronounced as a nasalized 'hoong' or 'hoom', adjusting to comfortable articulation. The Hum originates in shamanic practices for dispelling negative energies and, in an esoteric sense, dispels ignorance, delusion, and lack of clarity. Chanting Hum cultivates clear seeing of emptiness and the actual nature of experience, loosening habitual grasping onto perceived solidity.
