How To Work With Fear & Grief: Pause

The Buddhist teachings are continually calling our attention to the truth of what is called annica, or impermanence, because essentially, it’s exactly what we tend to struggle with, in the form of both the fear of uncertainty, and the grief that comes with change. But instead of trying to avoid our fear and grief – which is our natural tendency - the teachings are asking us to instead pause, and allow ourselves to BE with these feelings, so that ultimately, we can transform them, and discover more peace. This new talk explores how we can use our meditation practice to train ourselves in the sacred, healing art of the pause. It includes a meditation at the end.

I recently have had to face and embrace great personal loss and face the change it means for me. Two very important teacher/friends, whom I taught with, and shared a love of children and the kindergarten grade level have both died within the space of less than 5 months. Two of my touch stones. Their laughter, their clear, strong voices have gone silent. They are on their path traveling on. I am here missing them.
So thank you for this. I am grateful and quieting myself, letting go the grief, experiencing my fear of change as life unfolding in all its’ uncertainty.
