About this episode
Today we’re joined by Sharon Salzberg, one of the pioneers of Western Buddhism. She’s the author of a new book: Real Change: Mindfulness to Heal Ourselves and the World.
This episode is all about what’s possible when we bring a little (or a lot) more love into our lives. We explore her take on loving kindness, and learn in real-time how loving kindness can be an antidote to fear. We explore how the practice both synchronizes and conflicts with activism, and how to avoid the "Disney-ification" of loving kindness, among many other topics.
To go straight to Sharon’s 10 minute loving kindness practice, it begins at 06:26, and ends at 16:22.
