Transcript

Equanimity.

So you're invited to settle into your body.

Let it be on the edge of your awareness.

And let your attention connect with that sense of being grounded,

Solid and stable.

The sense of being connected with the earth.

Tune into that enduring quality of the earth beneath you.

The sense of solidity,

The stability there.

And return to it when the mind gets seduced by other things.

When attention slips away,

Just bring it back to that sense of stability,

Groundedness.

And look into your heart.

Find that quality of equanimity,

A sense of stillness,

Quietude,

Unshakability,

Strength,

Firmness,

Peace,

Unshaken.

Find that space within your being.

If you need to,

Perhaps you can think of reminders of this quality.

Such as a teacher or hero or being in your life that is very,

Very stable,

Peaceful,

Calm,

Unshaken by the ups and downs of life.

Unshaken by the vicissitudes of life.

Be like the still point,

The storm.

Be like a mountain,

Strong and stable over time.

Dwell in this space of peace.

Letting your awareness be expansive and luminous.

Grounded,

Stable.

Insulated from the suffering of being blown around by the eight worldly winds of praise and blame.

Loss and gain,

Pain and pleasure,

Fame and disrepute.

Sitting in the middle of it,

Yet not of it.

Luminously bright and aware.

Abide in equanimity.

Letting your awareness be expansive and luminous.
