Inspiring Courage as a Mindfulness Teacher

Our capacity to remain present in meditation supports our ability to be present in our lives. But it’s not always easy to be with what is, especially if it’s challenging or unpleasant. As teachers, part of our role is to encourage courage. By creating a container of safety and care, we can invite people to practice being with what is, even if it’s uncomfortable.In this short episode, Sean Fargo discusses the role of courage in our mindfulness practice. He explains how sensing into our own hearts empowers others to sense into theirs.Sean Fargo is the founder of Mindfulness Exercises and the lead teacher for the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Program.
