Meditation + Talk: Finding an Authentic Core of Calm Strength
February 14, 2025

Today so many of us are dealing with an unprecedented amount of stress, uncertainty, and challenges. How can we cultivate an unshakable core of calm amidst all of the chaos?

In this talk from my weekly free series, I explore how to navigate difficult emotions without being overwhelmed. When we return to a grounded baseline of well-being, we can take meaningful actionโ€”without bypassing or suppressing our experience.

I also offered a meditation on creating an authentic sense of calm by softening anxious thoughts, connecting with your body, and extending warmth and good wishes outward. I hope you find both helpful!

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