These days many people feel anxious about events and issues that seem beyond their control, such as climate change, political instability, and technological advancements. This type of anxiety often stems from misinformation and can lead individuals to overlook the actual security they have in their lives.
In my weekly talk, I focused on Practicing with Unprecedented Sources of Anxiety, offering perspective and practices for recognizing which worries are exaggerated and how we can manage our emotions. You can see a list of topics I covered below the videos.
I also offered a meditation on Resting Your Mind on What Draws Your Heart — I hope you find it helpful.
