In this guided meditation, Jack invites us to meet whatever emotions, thoughts, and sensations arise with a rooted stillness, steadiness, and
stability.
“Let yourself feel the steadiness of the earth, almost as if you have roots going down like you are a great tree—steady, rooted, and still, even when the wind blows through the branches.” – Jack Kornfield

Jack’s timeless wisdom leads the way as he responds to a handful of questions concerning some of the common struggles encountered on the human plane.
He explores:
❊ How do we stay present when feeling unpleasant emotions without giving in to them?
❊ Why is desire considered a cause for suffering when it can be an impetus for joy, creativity, or satisfaction? Jack explains the confusion some have with the term desire.
❊ Feelings of jealousy and how to work through or deal with them in meditation.
❊ Working with the ego.
❊ How tending to our spiritual life is a lot like gardening.
