This talk explores Equanimity. The felt experience of equanimity is balance - some teachings describe it as balance born of wisdom. The Pali word for Equanimity is Upekkhā, and Upekkhā literally means to have an overview of something. To have the ability to see the big picture. The Buddha gave the analogy of sitting on a hill, above a town, and looking down at the hustle and bustle of the town. This overview allows for certain non-reactivity and non-agitation of the mind. To have the peacefulness of the mind. This balance of mind is the heart of equanimity.
