How to Find Equanimity Amidst Upheaval

With Caverly Morgan recorded on May 3, 2020.

Found our teachings useful? Help us continue our work and support your teachers with a donation. Here’s how.

We are deeply habituated to seek equanimity as if it’s a state to be found. In times of crisis, stakes are high. We try harder. The more desperate we feel, the more effort we put in.

In this striving, we forget to ask: “Who is it that’s striving?” This question isn’t about finding the right answer. It’s intended to invite inquiry.

What is it in us that longs for peace, well-being, equanimity, and happiness? Are these experiences found through striving, or are they known through a different route? And what is that route?

Join Caverly for a guided direct experience. Allow your direct experience to be your test of reality.

    This week’s topic is “Living in Sacredness”. Meditation is more than a practice of being present. The way in which we are present determines whether we reinforce habits of separation, or re-weave the fabric of sacredness. During this week we will explore the sacredness of body, breath, consciousness, emotions and beliefs. Returned to the embrace of sacredness, we plant seeds of Love in a world of separation.
