This week’s episode is about stabilizing your heart and clearing your mind so you can show up more effectively in a world that’s constantly throwing stress your way. This is a solo episode—and these are my favorite to share, because they come straight from what I’m practicing in real time. I share 5 simple but powerful practices inspired by my recent time at Deer Park Monastery.
In This Episode, We Explore:
- Practice #1. Stop
- Practice #2. Put Down What You Are Carrying
- Practice #3. Sit at the Back of the Heart
- Practice #4. Tune Your Mind to Impermanence
- Practice #5. Prioritize Love
These are practices I’m returning to again and again. I hope they offer you some steady ground, too.
