Episode notes
Start Equanimity With Metta
- Do the metta practice first to 'tenderize' the heart before moving to equanimity phrases.
- Use wisdom-based statements like "pleasure and pain arise and pass away" to cultivate balanced understanding.
Use Wisdom Phrases
- Use equanimity phrases as wisdom statements, not offerings, to reflect how life unfolds.
- Say things like "birth and death are part of life" or "may I open to how it is in your life right now."
Accept Others' Journeys
- Use a karma-based phrase like "all beings are owners of their karma" to accept others' journeys.
- Shorten it for practical use: "All beings have their own journey," while still offering help and goodwill.
