I also share five specific things we can do to access possibility in an authentic and effective way, which can benefit us and those around us significantly.
The recent tragic violence in Israel and Gaza has been and continues to be so sad, scary, and upsetting. In the face of such horrific events, it’s often extremely difficult to find an authentic sense of peace and equanimity within ourselves.
