Ep. 50 How to Cultivate Love in Times of Fear
Today we'll talk about the importance of living in a state of love and how difficult that can be when we are inundated with fearful circumstances in our world. As we hear non-stop frightening reports about the war in Ukraine, climate change, political and social unrest, we naturally respond with anxiety and fear but if we can transcend the fear and live with love we have a chance to help make things better for ourselves and for others. This episode includes:
- Why love needs to be a daily practice right now.
- How to create a circle of love for yourself, others and your "opponents" (according to Valarie Kaur.)
- Why you don't have to know all the answers or be good at sharing love right now--it's enough to just try.
- How to look at your own Shadow and recognize that the people you don't like are holding up a mirror for you to see your hidden self.
- Tools and practices for cultivating love every day.
"The best criticism of the bad is the practice of the better." - Fr. Richard Rohr
