Self-compassion is complicated for me. I understand I must love my self before I can love anyone else. But that love is not simple and easy. Love for myself is complicated. I value certain aspects of who I am and what I bring to the relationships in my life, my work and my creative projects...but I also get stuck in negative thought cycles. I can spiral. I can ignore my own needs and then become irritable and irritating. In other words, I need more self-compassion. It's a practice. There are days I won't have enough compassion for my body, or my health, or my need for rest, or my desire for fun. There are days I will stumble through. But keeping in mind that self-compassion is a practice, I will keep reminding myself to practice it. Hope you enjoy this episode. Be kind to yourself.
The episode starts with a reading of Jack Kornfield's, called Awakening Self-Compassion. https://jackkornfield.com/self-compassion/

In this episode, I read and reflect on the Buddhist concept of Equanimity. In short, equanimity is about finding balance and protecting yourself from attaching to external forces like praise and blame, fame and disrepute, pleasure and pain, or gain and loss.
Alongside the reading: sounds of a Tibetan singing bowl.
Though I will not attach to the results of putting this episode out, I will send out hopes that anyone who listens may find fleeting moments of peace, calm or balance.

Thanks for listening,
Jonah

Making synth melodies with Chrome music lab has been fun. Adding guitar and vocal and effects was even more fun. That's "One More Time." "Vagabond Dance" is an instrumental experiment. It was also started with the Chrome music lab, then played with in Audacity. The two covers are Wilco's "My Darling" and Talking Heads' "Naive Melody (This Must Be the Place)". Both are just acoustic guitar and vocal. Thanks for listening. Please check out my other podcast, Jonah Asks.
