Recovery Dharma Meditations ❖ Ang Thomas Tran (any pronouns)

In this *powerful* meditation: You'll see the 5-year-old child within you and offer compassion. You'll see others as their 5-year-old selves and offer them compassion. It's surprisingly easy to have compassion when we think of how blameless we each were as kids. Yet as adults, we continue to carry the shame of the wounds of our childhood traumas—none of which was our fault. To be free of suffering, we offer each child a compassion mantra: "I see you. I feel you. I care about your pain."

RD Equanimity Meditation: To Be & Let Be (Superpower | Acceptance | Inner Peace | Serenity)

Equanimity: "mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation." This, for me, is the ultimate of the 4 Brahmaviharas (AKA the Heart Practices.) This means that even under heavy stress and unkind words, we can still be as cool as a cucumber with Equanimity practice.
