Equanimity, the mindful presence that neither grasps nor resists experience, is the grounds for unconditional love and wise action. This talk explores the conditioning that entraps us in reactivity, and two primary pathways for coming home to this natural state of balance and presence.

Breathing works through body, mental (heart) activation and awareness. With the fullness of settling (samatha), insight releases all aspects of clinging.
Dhamma is the Natural and Holistic Order. To know it we need to be balanced and attuned to what were experiencing, to meet what arises with sympathy and hold it with equanimity. Mindfulness of breathing is a practice which develops this balance.
