Love's Refuge

Shakti Sutriasashakti-s.com
Love’s Refuge offers guided meditation and spiritual sustenance. Tap into your true nature and experience love, joy, and universal connection. It is time to release fear, anxiety, shame and unworthiness, old patterns that no longer work and have brought only suffering and pain. Decide differently and choose love. And as you choose love for yourself, you extend it to others, healing yourself and the planet. Love’s refuge was born in March, 2020 out of a conversation with Tom Carpenter, beloved Course in Miracles teacher. When the magnitude of the coronavirus was coming to light, Tom was adamant that we provide a sanctuary for those “choosing love instead of the dictates of fear.” Seek refuge here, stay awhile. Let love envelop, caress you, and hold you in its arms. Shakti Sutriasa LCSW is an internationally known meditation teacher and host of Love’s Refuge, an online spiritual community.

Guided Meditation | Feel Safe Today

All of us want to feel safe, but how do we do that in a genuine way? There is a line from A Course In Miracles that says, “In my defenselessness my safety lies.” I know this sounds counterintuitive, but if we can really step into the truth of the statement, it holds the crux of our answer.

Guided Meditation | Experience Genuine Peace

Sometimes the world and its cruelty can feel overwhelming. Globally there is famine, war, flooding, fires... but even locally. Perhaps you've experienced small skirmishes or disagreements in your neighborhood. When we experience these upsets, it can be easy to shut ourselves off, to want to numb out or escape. And while that can work for awhile, we can also do something else. We can choose kindness. So how about it?
