Bodhisattva Conversations.

Stillness Is Freedom: Calming the Restless Mind


Listen Later

Most of our suffering is not caused by life itself, but by the restless mind reacting to life.

In this episode, I explore what it truly means to still the mind not by suppressing it, but by gently training it so that we are the master of our mind!

There is a saying that it makes a wonderful servant and a terrible master!

We look at:

  • Why the mind becomes addictive, doubtful, critical or negative
  • The subtle ways we seek relief from discomfort
  • How inner restlessness fuels reactivity
  • The difference between forcing silence and allowing stillness
  • And why freedom is not found in perfection, but in non-entanglement

Drawing on contemplative wisdom and lived experience, this episode reminds us to 'press pause', and to discover the clarity that emerges when the mind no longer needs to escape.

Stillness is not emptiness.
It is fullness.
