In this episode, we look at how easily such strong emotions can take hold and sometimes get mischannelled. We’ll see how this relates to what the highly-esteemed Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh calls interbeing, and why this concept may be important to remember. We’ll remind ourselves what staying resilient looks like, and to this end, we’ll get practical, as Ellen introduces a five-week Labyrinth Activist Network free offering to help you stay anchored through the up-coming US midterm election season, partnered with research by Baylor University.

This week, as we reflect on the consequences of our words, thoughts and feelings, we suggest holding as our main intention: I resolve to continue to work at staying mindful of the potential consequences of my words, thoughts and feelings, especially when I am challenged, angered or otherwise stirred by the words or actions of someone that disturb me. When I notice my judgements arising, I will remind myself to be steady and careful. Please join us in holding this.
