Finding Balance with Vishvapani
How can we find balance in our lives?
We tend to think of mindfulness just as a form of meditation - but it can also be an overall approach to daily life, which helps us find balance in our frantic world.
At this special event, meditation teacher and Buddhist writer Vishvapani will explore how we can cultivate mindfulness and expand this to support other helpful habits, including making wise choices, responding to difficult situations and living more ethically.
Vishvapani brings a calm reasonableness and has lots of inspiring ideas to help us improve our mental states and contribute to a more caring society. He'll help you find the courage to cope with uncertainty, overcome challenges and cultivate more inner peace.
This conversation with Dr Mark Williamson was recorded at a live Action for Happiness event on the 18th of June 2024 actionforhappiness.org.

Utterly inappropriate. Disconnect. Tell the folks in Gaza. And the homeless in the US getting up on cardboard pavement beds. I wasted 3 mins of watching this vacous man talking crap.
I give my brain permission to rest...
It makes complete sense.
I hope to find a woman like this one day. was married for 17 years to the wrong person. A nightmare of a marriage
80 per cent of the people r kind the rest bad
His book "The Compassionate Mind" is an absolute must for anyone who walks this earth basically

Please, if possible? Get my thoughts to Jon? I'm a 68 yr old American living now for 25 years, in Thailand. 6/7 years ago, I found you on CZcams. You literally were a major source for saving my life. For 50 years? My life was a wreck. But when I started deep breathing --- living...speechless peace, love, and joy. 3 / 4 hours and more, of deep centered focus breathing everyday. For 6 / 7 years! Highest blessings on you!!!

I am so sorry. I truly hope you are able to reverse this or adapt in the best way possible. Sending lots of love 🙏🏽❤️
Gosh, that sounds so scary. You have bravely dealt with losing sight in your left eye and an MS diagnosis. I send you kind thoughts and highest respect for your resilience. 🌸
I am sorry to hear of your double tragedy. I hope you are getting support both emotionally and and physically. Thank you for sharing. My thoughts and prayers are are with you

I reckon thats a joyful necklace around her neck. :) Popping on joyful brooches/hats/scarves get me out the door some days🎉
I think it's easier to be happy as a monk with no familial responsibilities such as child rearing and making sure the job you have is good enough to keep them fed and clothed and healthy.
This is like mr rogers.
We could add "S" for Service to Family and other.
