On today's show Marlena shares a tragedy she experienced in her early twenties, and how the Mindfulness qualities of presence, curiosity and compassion helped her heal from the trauma.
We also explore Buddhist teachings on:
- what's the true source of our well-being
- the 3 steps that lead us away from our direct experience and into suffering
- pain is inevitable - suffering is optional: The Buddhist teaching on the “second arrow”
- why we’re wired to anticipate trouble even when we’re okay
- how to release the strategy of "control"
Marlena also shares her thoughts on the empowering benefits of remaining curious and open in difficult times, and offers suggestions for how to practice this essential life skill.
