In the second half of this powerful wartime talk, Jack Kornfield guides us through the practice of lovingkindness and explores what it means to stay open-hearted in the face of exhaustion, grief, and overwhelm.
“When we live in the present moment, we can be strong and loving no matter what. We don’t get lost in our fear. The practice of living in the present with mindful, loving awareness is a doorway to your freedom, to your well-being.” – Jack Kornfield
