Listen "Compassion, Kindness, Joy, and Equanimity"
Episode Synopsis
So often, we feel torn between striving for change and surrendering to what is. We can get stuck trying too hard, or give up entirely. So this week, I explore how to find a wise balance between deliberate intention and choiceless awareness, and how to grow lasting inner strengths like compassion, kindness, joy, and equanimity. These are qualities we can practice—not just admire.You’re welcome to join me live each week for these talks — for free — by signing up here. We always start with a guided meditation to set the tone for the evening. If you’d like to experience the meditation that accompanied this talk, you can listen to it here.And if you'd like to check out any of my online programs, you can receive 20% off by using coupon code PW20 during checkout.
