Kaira Jewel Lingo: Equanimity Meditation

Listen "Kaira Jewel Lingo: Equanimity Meditation"

Episode Synopsis

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) This meditation explores upekkhā, or equanimity—the deep steadiness of heart that meets life’s joys and sorrows with wisdom and care. Through reflections, guided phrases, and a progression of categories (from self, to loved one, neutral person, difficult person and finally all beings), we cultivate balance and spaciousness in the face of life’s ever-changing conditions. Rooted in the Brahmavihārā tradition, this practice invites us to rest in the truth that all beings are moving through causes and conditions beyond our control.
