Introduction To Meditation Session #19 Equanimity Reactivity

Welcome to session #19 of our thirty (30) session introduction to meditation course.

Today we are going to explore habit patterns. How we react to stimulus, internal and external. Every time we do something, get annoyed and lash out, say a harsh word, or respond with excitement and love, a pattern begins. This is reactivity.

Over time with repetition, it hardens and calcifies. Until one day we pass this invisible point of no return where these patterns form our sense of self-identity. We see ourselves as this kind of person or that kind of person. By learning to observe how we react and respond to situations, we can change ourselves. We learn that we aren’t just the waves on the ocean, we are the very vastness of the ocean. The good news is since nothing is permanent, neither are our habits. We can learn to reverse the hardening of our hearts and heal ourselves and our relationships.

Let’s explore it. Enjoy the meditation!
