Welcome to Mindfully Stoic; a channel dedicated to increasing mindfulness through the lens of the ancient philosophy of Stoicism.

This guided meditation concerns the Stoic virtue of temperance, also known as moderation. As you may recall, the Stoics had 4 cardinal virtues by which they lived. These virtues are Courage, Temperance, Wisdom, and Justice. Today we will focus on temperance which is the avoidance of excess and extremes and how that relates to our day and age. Temperance isn’t meant to be less pleasure but the way to bring about lasting pleasure. This idea is related to Aristotle’s Golden Mean of virtue, or the Middle Way as described by the Buddha. Now let’s begin.

Thanks for listening to mindfully stoic. If you feel like you have benefited from this meditation or others, please like, subscribe, or share. I truly appreciate your support.
