Monday Night Meditation

Webcast






August, 2024




Fear and anxiety are wonderful servants.


They are designed to keep you alive.



But when they become your master, it's another story.


Hyper-vigilance, paralysis, restlessness dominate.



It requires courage to turn toward and have tea with anxiety.



From what I can tell, they all boil down to one elemental fear.




BeFriending Fear, Pt 3: The Source of all Fears


[recast]






For the time being we are suspending Mindful Dialog.


Please send Ray your love and healing vibes!
