Listen to “Barbara Biziou, Happy New Year! ” on Spreaker.

Happy New Year! I’m so glad you decided to take this powerful journey with me. One important thing we all learned during this past year was how important community and support are to our wellbeing.

Today is the beginning of a New Year and a New You! Right now is the most important moment of your life. Right now you are creating your future.

My spiritual teacher Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov taught me that the first 12 days of the year represent the entire year and sets the course of your year…both spiritually and physically. That is why I am offering you this special gift of 12 days of sacred inner work.

Set aside time each day to do these meditations (preferably in the morning) when you will not be disturbed. I like to light a candle before I start to shift my consciousness to creating sacred space, but that is up to you.

I recommend that you do a grounding technique each day so that you will feel clear, centered, strong and focused and more able to bring in and integrate the higher frequencies entering into the planet at this time. In today’s audio, I will lead you through one that I do daily.

Many cultures spend this time in prayer and contemplation. Today’s meditation will focus on appreciation and blessing what we have in our lives. As we plant these seeds of appreciation they grow and multiply.

Remember that we learn best when we are happy and open, so be prepared to up your joy quotient in the next 12 days.

Album & Accompanying Booklet to Release on July 6th, Honoring His Holiness’ 85th Birthday

“Compassion,” the first track released today, sets the tone of the album, by cultivating love and empathy for ourselves and all beings

“Music has the potential to reach many more people with the message that the real source of happiness is warm-heartedness and a concern for others” – The Dalai Lama

June 9th, 2020 – As announced today, Khandro Music will release a unique album of mantras and teachings by The Dalai Lama set to music, entitled Inner World. Released to honor his 85th birthday celebrations on July 6th, 2020, the album will be a great dedication to the decades of his vision and work for world peace and educating the heart.

When asked why he accepted the request to make the album, he answered, “The very purpose of my life
is to serve as much as I can.” He also added, “Music can help people in a way that I can’t.”

Inner World is an offering of the Dalai Lama reciting mantras and giving short teachings all woven to a bed of music (please see tracklisting below). The album will be released in conjunction with an Inner World companion booklet, revealing the benefits of the mantras written by Venerable Robina Courtin, and exclusive, stunning artwork; a collaboration between the acclaimed New Zealand duo of Ella Brewer (classically trained Thanka Painter) and Tiffany Singh (an award-winning visual artist). This particular work of theirs is a combination of traditional Tibetan and contemporary art.

In addition to this announcement today, Inner World has debuted the first offering from the project, the “Compassion” mantra, one of the most famous Buddhist prayers. Reciting
the mantra of the Buddha of Compassion (known in Tibetan as Chenrezig and in Sanskrit as Avalokiteshvara) is said to open our hearts and bring us closer to others, to feel love and compassion through wisdom, generating a desire to help.

“Compassion” is out now, listen: HERE
To view the “Compassion” mantra video click: HERE

The origins of Inner World began in 2015, when one of the project’s co-executive producers and a longtime student of The Dalai Lama, Junelle Kunin, wrote to him requesting his participation, by fervently explaining her feelings that an album by such a compassionate and wise being would help people particularly who struggle with emotional stress. After reading her letter, his response was enthusiastic, saying, “This will benefit many people!”. She and her husband Abraham Kunin, both from New Zealand, spent the next five years working with a small team to bring the project to life. The Dalai Lama’s recordings have been thread through music composed by Abraham and performed on thirty-plus instruments by himself and a cast of collaborators from around the world, including a special guest performance from Anoushka Shankar on “Ama La.” The composer integrated the live performances with artful programming and production, building a peaceful bedrock for these sacred offerings.

Net proceeds from the sales of Inner World will go to The Gaden Phodrang Foundation of the Dalai Lama (Switzerland) chosen program: Social, Emotional and Ethical Learning (SEE Learning), an international K-12 education program and part of an academic collaboration between Emory University and His Holiness; and Mind and Life Institute, which brings science & contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind & create positive change in the world.

A Conference—Co-sponsored with the Middle East Institute & the Institute of African Studies at Columbia University

Friday & Saturday, November 4 & 5, 2011

New York, New York — July 12, 2011 — A conference and an evening concert presented at Columbia University. It will include international scholars, from the U.S., Europe and the Middle East, who have devoted their careers to translating and interpreting the works of Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi (1165–1240) and Jalaluddin Rumi (1207–1273). Evening performances will include renowned musicians such as Omar Faruk Tekbilek, Salman Ahmad, and Sufi poet, Coleman Barks. Participants who attend are from both the U.S. and the international community.

This is the second, in a biennial series of conferences on Ibn ‘Arabi started in 2009. The 2011 conference will focus on the teachings of both Ibn ‘Arabi and Rumi, offering an in-depth view of Middle Eastern philosophy and spiritual thought rarely heard about in the West today.

Ibn ‘Arabi and Rumi are the two great pillars of Islamic mysticism, known as Sufism. They appeared in the same century, one from the Muslim West, the other from the East, both bringing a new vision of human potential and realization meant to inspire us and teach us to understand ourselves more deeply and expand our view of the world.

The program will include lectures, workshops, a panel discussion, and poetry readings in the original languages of Arabic and Persian and their English translation. Here are a few of the presentations being given: Moses, Ibn ‘Arabi, and the Voice of Fire; Ibn ‘Arabi: Mysticism, Lyric, and the Persian-Arabic Love Affair; and On the Seriousness of Rigorous Hilarity in the Masnavi: The Sense of Humor in Rumi’s Teachings.

Sufis in Concert

A separate event, this evening concert celebrates Sufism through the poetry and commentary of Coleman Barks, accompanied by Grammy Award winner and cellist, David Darling, the music of lead singer, Salman Ahmad of the Sufi rock group, Junoon and the dances of whirling dervish, Sakina.

Organizers:

The New York Open Center (www.opencenter.org) is a nonprofit organization of holistic learning and world culture, founded in 1984. It is the largest urban holistic center in the U.S., presenting accomplished speakers such as Karen Armstrong, Thich Nhat Hanh, Cornel West, Julia Cameron and numerous others.

The Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi  Society (www.ibnarabisociety.org) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1977, headquartered in Oxford, England, with an American branch in Berkeley, CA. It is the leading organization promoting the remarkable spiritual legacy and teachings of Ibn ‘Arabi.
