This week, I share about the 4th Perfect Virtue of Buddhism - Equanimity.

We've made it, guys! In this episode I unpack a definition of equanimity that I found quite comprehensive and that illustrates the essence of equanimity nicely. 

"Equanimity is neither a thought nor an emotion, it is rather the steady conscious realization of reality's transience. It is the ground for wisdom and freedom and the protector of compassion and love. While some may think of equanimity as dry neutrality or cool aloofness, mature equanimity produces a radiance and warmth of being. The Buddha described a mind filled with equanimity as "abundant, exalted, immeasurable, without hostility and without ill-will.”

If this definition confuses you, don't worry. It confused me too! Listen to the full episode to find out more about what it means to be equanimous.

Every week, I share my thoughts and maybe a nugget or two of advice to inspire you to live your most optimal life. My reflections stem from a decade long journey as a yoga and meditation teacher, fitness enthusiast, and holistic health advocate. My hopes are to contribute to your wellness journey in whatever way, shape or form, and to motivate you to live to your highest potential.
