“When we live in the present moment, we can be strong and loving no matter what. We don’t get lost in our fear. The practice of living in the present with mindful, loving awareness is a doorway to your freedom, to your well-being.” – Jack Kornfield

This time on Heart Wisdom, Jack Kornfield chats about:
  • Lovingkindness (metta) as a practice of resilience
  • Overcoming despair by using our inner resources
  • Working with emotional exhaustion and compassion fatigue
  • The wisdom of allowing emptiness instead of fixing it
  • The power of presence in shaping the future
  • Becoming a force of peace in the world
