This talk offers a way of abiding in joy and other wholesome qualities through an acronym of CARE - Connect, abide, release/refresh, enjoy. A short talk is followed by a short guided meditation in abiding and radiating sympathetic joy.
This talk reflects on joy and metta as central to the practice, and as supports for non-clinging. It explores this theme through the suttas, in everyday practice, and in challenging times.
This talk explores two qualities of equanimity - balance, and balance in the midst of change. It also explores the wisdom that builds on these qualities - the wisdom of knowing that it is our response to what is happening, not what is happening, that holds the key to our liberation.
