Together we dive into the essence of navigating the myriad emotional highs and lows that life brings. With a keen awareness that our perceptions color our experiences, listeners are invited to reflect on the good, the bad, and the mundane events that unfold throughout the week. Through her candid musings, your host Margaret Meloni emphasizes the importance of recognizing your feelings and responses to life’s occurrences, gently reminding you that while you can’t control what happens, you can certainly control how you react to it.

It’s about fostering resilience and strength, rather than being swept away by the extremes of emotional highs and lows.

To enrich the discussion, Margaret also recounts a story from the Pali Canon, highlighting the four immeasurables: loving kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy, and equanimity. These teachings serve as vital tools to help you navigate the challenges you will face. By leaning into these values, you can cultivate a sense of calm and comfort, empowering yourself to meet life’s challenges head-on.
