Stretched my mind in unexpected ways. Even while driving! Reminds me to listen to you guys more regularly. You’re both always wise, kind, deep, irreverent—and mind-stretching!
They are pretty great aren’t they? Love them both. The range of guests and topics are always interesting , insightful and helpful for the curious minded people. 🌷 @Jeff Warren @Tasha Schumann
Yay equanimity! I read Michael's wonderful book prepublication and we have been in dialogue as I published a trade book on equanimity with Harper Collins last spring: Quiet Strength: Find Peace, Feel Alive and Love Boundlessly through the Power of Equanimity". We overlap quite a bit in our approaches and have each taken a "Big Think" approach to the topic. I spent hours interviewing Buddhist teachers (and even flew to Jay and Shinzen's lab to get my brain zapped), psychologists, neuroscientists, politicians, religious scholars (Judaism, Christianity, Sufism) and activists. I do have a chapter on equanimity and ethics and the middle section of the book is devoted to ways to cultivate equanimity. If interested, happy to share the pdf :-) and we can continue the conversation. Yes, equanimity is so important in this moment in time. I also teach a short course in cultivating equanimity through UCSD: https://cih.ucsd.edu/mindfulness/programs/2-part-cultivating-equanimity-workshop
What a great course to teach. I wish we all had easy access to courses on equanimity throughout our lives. I believe equanimity is a fundamental principle in our lives yet it’s rarely discussed or explored. Jeff’s vast teachings on what it means and takes to live a healthy life - spiritually and emotionally inspire me in ways I never imagined possible. 🌷 @Jeff Warren @Tasha Schumann
Thank you Michael, Tasha, and Jeff. The idea that most resonates: the relaxation of attention that allows for movement, and movement (rather than stillness) as central to equanimity . As a visual artist, toggling between form and space is an elemental practice.
Thank you for the comment: yes, I think of the movement of forms as creating space (like the tea ceremony) that oscillates with the forms of space that enable movement (like dancing).
Darkness and Ukraine heavy on and around my head. Anxiety inside. I was able to move these thoughts/bodily sensations away far enough to relax. I haven't listened to the video yet.

Always brilliant!
This session was very wonderful, clarifying and equanimous. Bless you all!!❣️
I wonder if anyone is teaching mindfulness and equanimity to veterans at the Boise, Idaho VA?
