Turn Towards Your Suffering

Turn Towards Your Suffering

What if your suffering is the path? Turning toward our deepest struggles—like craving, hatred, and confusion—can soften their hold and reveal unexpected wisdom. The path of awakening is not about fixing, but meeting what’s hard with honesty, steadiness, compassion and care.

A lamp for the path: a guided self-love meditation

A lamp for the path: a guided self-love meditation

The practice of metta, or loving-kindness, helps cultivate compassion starting at the source: with yourself. It’s not always easy. For many of us, receiving love — even from our own hearts — can feel unfamiliar or out of reach. But with time and practice, it becomes a way to meet yourself with tenderness and build the inner conditions for ease, connection, and resilience.

This 9-minute meditation is a small lamp for your own path. Something to return to when you need reminding that you, too, are worthy of love and care.

A Path to Immovable Peace

A Path to Immovable Peace

Inner peace isn’t just a poetic idea—it’s a real possibility. It’s not something that will happen at some future time, when we get all our ducks in a row. Neither is it a state of constant bliss or managing to avoid hardship.

Inner peace is a steady and growing sense of ease that can carry us through the unpredictability of life, moment by moment. It doesn’t happen overnight, but with guidance, practice, and support, inner peace is something we can cultivate.

The Ease of Honesty

The Ease of Honesty

In both Buddhist practice and yoga, truthfulness (sacca or satya) is more than a moral guideline; it is a gateway to inner freedom.

When we commit to honesty in thought, speech, and action, we begin to dissolve the illusions that bind us. The more we align with truth, the clearer our perception becomes, allowing us to move through life with greater ease, trust, and wisdom.
