With Sounds True, she&#8217;s published the book The Way of Grace and the audio series Meditations on Boundless Love. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Miranda about taking a more feminine approach to spiritual seeking and why that involves creating an atmosphere of unconditional love. Miranda explains &#8220;ego relaxation,&#8221; her unique process of letting go of all the qualities that maintain the illusion of being separate from the rest of existence. Considering the roles of trust and vulnerability on the spiritual path, Tami and Miranda discuss what it means to be a channeler of grace. Finally, Miranda leads the audience in a guided practice for discovering the mountainous presence already available in each moment. (60 minutes)<\/p>\n<p>Tami&#8217;s Takeaway<br \/>\nMiranda began the podcast in the same way that she begins her in-person teachings, immersing us in a palpable atmosphere of love and unconditional acceptance. As soon as she pointed to this, it was like the sun came out in the small, dark studio room where our conversation was recorded. Miranda likens &#8220;ego relaxation&#8221;\u2014the releasing of our fixations, fears, and need to be in control\u2014to hardened ice melting in the light of love and acceptance. My takeaway: a commitment to remembering that this warm light is always here and always available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5485,"template":"","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[384,386],"tags":[170],"contributor":[521],"class_list":["post-4971","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-meditation","category-spirituality","tag-insights-at-the-edge","contributor-miranda-macpherson"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Miranda Macpherson The Transforming Power Of Ego Relaxati...<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Listen to this Insights at the Edge podcast exploring miranda macpherson the transforming power of ego relaxation.
