1132: From Overwhelm to Ease: Three Practices for a Calmer Life


Listen Later

In today's episode, GIna shares three simple practices to help listeners develop a calmer, more peaceful life. These practices include meditation (in this case, with a spiritual passage), slowing down and training the senses. Creating more space around us helps us more easily integrate all the activities going on in our lives. Being mindful of what information we allow into our consciousness (such as through the media we consume) can help us cultivate inner peace more easily. Listen in for guidance in all three of these areas.

Quote:

As we grow in patience, in kindness, in selfless love, we are changing

the nervous system itself. We are remaking the brain, rewiring it, so

that our old conditioning begins to fade, and a new person begins to

emerge.

Summary

In this episode, I explore the journey from overwhelm to ease by sharing three transformative practices aimed at fostering a calmer life. Drawing from Eknath Eswaran's impactful eight-point program featured in his book "Words to Live By," I emphasize how these timeless approaches to inner peace remain relevant even decades after publication. The teachings that resonate with me are rooted in spiritual wisdom and offer practical methods to soothe the nervous system amidst the chaos of modern living.


The first practice centers around the essence of meditation. I highlight Eswaran’s guidance on establishing a dedicated space for meditation, explaining the importance of consistency in practice. I read excerpts from his work that underscore the significance of focusing on carefully chosen passages, such as the prayer of St. Francis, during meditation sessions. This structured approach not only carves out quiet moments in our bustling lives but also helps us internalize positive thoughts, slowly transforming our outlook and interactions.
