One of the biggest reasons I teach meditation is to help practitioners, and all people, understand who they truly are, not just what they have been told.  That isn't even close to the whole story.  If you knew who you truly were, you wouldn's stress as much.  Why don't we start that journey today.

So many people wake up and expect the day to go great, and if it doesn’t they blame people or circumstances for messing up their peace.

For many people being afraid of the dark was something they conquered when they were a toddler. But there is another aspect of the dark that many, if not most, people still struggle with.

Maybe it’s time you make peace with all the aspects of who you are. It may just lead to a sense of calm.
