Strong Back, Soft Front

from Undefended Dharma with Mary Stancavage · host Mary Stancavage

Oftentimes when we think we're being strong we're actually defending ourselves or shutting down. The pseudo-strength comes from our armor which is really a type of aversion. In this teaching, originally offered by Roshi Joan Halifax, we're invited to soften to our experiences with compassion yet keep a strong back of equanimity. Mary invites us to be vulnerable, yet move through the world with integrity and strength.Recorded Nov. 7, 2020 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!
