The #1 most difficult task for spiritual practitioners

Dear, wonderful Open Heart Project practitioners,

Happy new year! May 2024 be the year all beings discover their inherent sanity and decency. 

Although it may sound improbable, meditation is a direct conduit to such qualities. It introduces space between what we think and what we do, how we feel and the conclusions we draw about self and other. Truly, the world is in need of people who know how to work with their minds–not as stress-reduction or in order to get a better night’s sleep (both of which are awesome) but to be of benefit to this world. In 2024, our videos will focus on bringing mindfulness off the cushion and into real life. 

Over in the Open Heart Project sangha we are spending the entire year on the topic of spiritual practice IRL. If you have any interest in joining, please check it out. 

In today’s video, I talk a bit about the #1 most difficult task for spiritual practitioners: how to express loving kindness for those we may hate. (Spoiler alert: you don’t have to forgive anyone or excuse anything…) Please have a listen to learn more.

With love, Susan

PS There is still time to join our 21-Day Meditation Challenge. All the details are here.
