“Reflection”

What does the word balance mean to you? Do you have any associations or beliefs about balance? Like, it can only be achieved through self-sacrifice, or I’ll never be able to be more balanced in my life? What comes to mind?

“Takeaways”

• Equanimity’s strength derives from a combination of understanding and trust in the cycles and tides of our life’s experiences.

• The art of crossing the flood (of life’s challenges) is accomplished one moment at a time and fueled by our ability to continually begin again.

• We can cultivate enough spacious attention around our feelings so that wisdom can naturally arise.
