🌀 MEDITATION for Grounding in Crises: The episode will end with a grounding meditation that I invite you to revisit whenever you need. Because in a time when we can start to feel defeated, we need to be grounded, resourced, and able to let joy in so we can continue our work.

Today’s podcast is kind of a little emergency response to Trump and Netanyahu’s invasion of Iran that happened over the weekend. It’s always difficult in a moment like this to know what to say because the urge is to say something, if only because silence feels like complicity, and yet everybody is saying so much that it’s hard to know what I can say that might actually add to the dialogue and not simply be another way of saying this is bad, bad, bad, illegal, immoral, wrong, violent, callous, cruel, and no good will come from it.
Even if you think the Iranian regime is a terrible regime, which I do actually think, too. It is horrible to its people… it is repressive in so many ways. It’s inconceivable that Trump and Netanyahu actually care at all about the Iranian people or that bombing them is going to be a good way to support the opposition and bring about a better regime.

We’ve done that before, and it hasn’t worked out well in Iraq or in Afghanistan or anywhere else.

I talk more about this in today’s episode…
