Mindfulness Exercises, with Sean Fargo Quiet Strength: The Power of Equanimity (with Margaret Cullen & Sean Fargo)
Today we explore equanimity as a living, heart-based steadiness that holds passion, pain, and joy without collapsing or numbing out. Renowned teacher and author Margaret Cullen offers practical gateways through feeling tone, identity, and simple phrases that reduce friction, burnout, and outrage.
• redefining equanimity as caring presence, not apathy
• Vedana as the primary gateway to balance
• spaciousness instead of dulling experience
• recovery time as a measure of equanimity
• identity, praise and blame, and the worldly winds
• vulnerability as an undefended heart
• activism without outrage fatigue
• parenting with an open hand, not a tight grip
• caregiver burnout and “it’s not my emergency”
• equanimity phrases for self and others
• resources to deepen four foundations practice
• equanimity as a human birthright we uncover
