Daily Meditation Recordings, with Jaya Rudgard – Week of October 3, 2022

Jaya Rudgard

This week’s theme is “The Practice of Courage in Everyday Life”

 

Courage is an essential quality in life and on the spiritual path and it comes in many guises. Anything that challenges our unhelpful habits requires a capacity for determination and the stretching of our comfort zones. This week’s morning meetings will reflect on some of the ways we can cultivate courage in meditation and daily life and resource ourselves to meet the challenges of living in these times.
