Neither Attracted nor Repelled—The Value of Cultivating Equanimity (Nachama Greenwald)

Equanimity is a principle that is woven into the dharma of many different traditions, including Buddhism and yoga. We are all subject to what attracts and repels us, what we push away and what we grasp for. Our daily experience of life is our mirror, gauge, and training ground. We can learn to ride the waves of experiences of fixation and reactivity in a world of polarities, develop discrimination, and live in a bigger world.
