Equanimity Meditation

Equanimity is a wonderful quality, a spaciousness and balance of heart. Although it grows naturally with our meditation practice, equanimity can also be cultivated in the same systematic way as mindfulness or compassion. We can feel this possibility of balance in our hearts in the midst of life when we recognize that life is not in our control.

I love Jack Kornfield’s calming voice and energy. This was a great way for me to start a busy day.

Beautiful. Just want I needed. You touched my heart. Thank you.

Beautiful. Inspiring and nurturing a sense of peace with all that is. Thank you 🙏😊

I am at peace. I repeat the words and recite them with deep honor of those who bow to their innate inner openness. Beautiful words and affirm the peace that is always there to tap into no matter what. Namaste.

Heartfelt words of wisdom and soothing meditation 💗🙏

Feeling relief... others karma is based on their thoughts and actions alone..

This is a wonderful short meditation on equanimity that I should repeat often. It strikes me how Buddhist precepts of karma, as presented here, have commonality with contemporary psychotherapeutic teachings related to "boundaries"- i.e.- you can hold others in compassion, but at the end of the day, you are not responsible for their happiness, they are. This is an important teaching for me as it is something that does not come naturally to me- and I need to work on boundaries for my own well being in personal and professional life. In any case, thank you.

What a beautiful meditation. Simply allowing others to be who they are on their journey and loving them where they are. And thank you for using a low tone, bell for people like me with a noise sensitivity. . Namaste.✨🙏✨

Perfect for starting my day with a nice peaceful perspective

I was lost and hurt. I found this precious five minutes ; life changing ! Thank you 🙏🏼

Seeking inner peace I played this guided meditation this morning. My suffering stilled as my breathe moved into a deep free state of being. I think by repeating this I will finally let go of my worries for my family. Each makes his or her own choices and with each choice shape happiness or its opposite. I appreciate the health boundaries this session helped me discover.

Just the support and perspective I needed this morning. Thank you dear one.

Thank you so much for this Jack. I truly needed to hear this today as I am feeling overwhelmed by the suffering of several close family members. 🙏❤️

"the happiness and suffering of others depends on their actions and deeds, and not my wishes for them" -- wow, I needed to hear this today. Always insightful JK. Thank you.

Gentle loving-kindness and peace in a meditation. Short but effective. Thank you, sir. 😌🙏

May I be peaceful. May I bring compassion to the hurts of the world. Thank you, Jack.

Thank you for being my teacher.
Your words speak to a life time of curiosities met with a language that finds home here.

An insightful and ascended human being and teacher right here on planet earth..I bow to you in humility and accept your grace.

Thank you very much. It was just what I needed today.🤗🙏

Perfection. Happy summer solstice! With gratitude, 🙏
