Meditation + Talk: Already Free of Fear, Already at Peace
September 14, 2024

It’s so common these days to feel weighed down by stress, anxiety, or a nagging sense that something is… missing. Much of that can be attributed to craving—the subtle and not-so-subtle ways we chase after satisfaction.

So this week, I dive into the root of craving and build on profound teachings from the Buddha. I explore how you can grow inner strengths and internalize experiences of “already being enough,” even amidst life’s challenges. I also offer tips and perspectives to move from craving and dissatisfaction to a deeper sense of peace and well-being.

Because when we feel already truly safe, truly satisfied, and truly connected in the moment, we can meet life’s difficulties without getting overwhelmed by them.

I also offered a meditation to help you feel more Centered, Still, and Aware — I hope you find it helpful.

And if you like, you may wish to participate in the age-old tradition of generosity through making an offering yourself – called “dāna” – to support Rick and the Wednesday Meditations. Generosity itself is a beautiful practice that opens and gladdens the heart, relaxes the contraction of “self,” and ripples out into the world to touch many people – and perhaps, eventually, even oneself.
