Equanimity-Seeing with Patience

Opening the door to all that arises, we learn to sit with watchful patience, beginning with ourselves. As our practice matures we develop wider circles of inclusive compassion for all. Facing our fears, we sit in their presence without withdrawal or avoidance...simply watching the subtle response mechanisms that occur both mentally and physically. In equanimity there is a warm-hearted, balanced attitude that begins to develop as our curiosity arises; the result is a deeper appreciation of life...all life. Gradually we notice an opening of the heart to any and all circumstances.
