This is day twenty two of a 29 day journey where you will learn the fundamentals of mindful meditation while syncing yourself with the cycles of the moon, the gorgeous feminine mass in our solar system. Begin this podcast on the new moon to follow the cycle that is outlined over the next Synodic month: The harmonization of the movement of both the sun and the moon.

Today, in our dharma talk we will explore working with trauma & fear. The reaction to trauma is natural and common-- the way the body-mind is trying to protect itself, so it's natural to move towards healing. This body wants to heal. And with this, the very place of trauma became transformed into a place of profound awakening and freedom.

This can be a heavy subject-- but if we can remember what Ernest Hemmingway said, “We are all broken—that’s how the light gets in,” we can pay attention to the cracks in a beautiful, creative way.

We will practice with a 20 minute meditation as we explore what is arising with an open and kind heart.
