Death Meditation from a Gift of Liberation 35

In this meditation we imagine arriving at the bedside of someone we love near the end of their life, in order to guide them in the process of moving forward. We learn to speak to them about the good deeds they’ve done, helping their heart to recall the memories that bring them peace and confidence for their journey. After they transition, we continue the connection by speaking to them warmly and strengthening the bond that goes beyond physical form. This practice becomes a practical training in compassion that we can actually use; it shows us how to stay steady, loving, and clear when others may need us the most.
