Meeting the moment with a Clear Heart with Carol Cano
2025-02-02 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | BRN Academy
Meeting the moment of high stress with a clear heart involves embracing the challenge with a sense of calm and purpose. It’s about grounding yourself in the present, acknowledging the pressure without letting it overwhelm you. A clear heart means letting go of unnecessary tension, judgment, or fear, and instead responding with clarity, focus, and compassion. It’s the ability to breathe deeply, find inner strength, and choose the most thoughtful and constructive course of action. In these moments, your heart remains steady, and you allow yourself to move through the stress with grace and resilience, knowing that the situation is temporary and that you have the tools to navigate it effectively.
“Buddhadasa Bhikkhu reminds us that Dhamma is always available to us, in every moment. It is not an external concept, but an inner experience that we can touch in our daily lives.”
