Equanimity is often taught as a complement to the practices of lovingkindness and compassion because it’s understood in Buddhist psychology that if we only practice lovingkindness and compassion, we can mistakenly get attached to the way we think things are supposed to be. We then might grasp and struggle with the world rather than serving it.

Many of us discover we live partially in a dreamworld, cut off from whole pieces of our life, our body, our past. Though we may sense our disconnection, we do not know exactly what is wrong. Enlightenment must be lived here and now through this very body or else it is not genuine.
In this podcast, we explore how we can traverse the tumultuous polarities of life from the mindful and freeing perspective of the loving witness.
In the midst of the busyness of life, I invite you into the calm of awareness.
