Equanimity, an integral Brahma-vihara, brings courage and balance to help light the way for love, compassion, and resonant joy. At the same time, love, compassion, and resonant joy can support calm, peacefulness, and stamina. Pema Chödrön's work on becoming more intimate with life's challenges, facing fear, and connecting to our basic goodness all support deep inner work in equanimity. She is a beacon for me in grounding myself within the beautiful chaos of the cosmos.
