Embarking on the spiritual journey is like getting into a very small boat and setting out on the ocean to search for unknown lands. With wholehearted practice comes inspiration, but sooner or later we will also encounter fear. For all we know, when we get to the horizon, we are going to drop off the edge of the world. Like all explorers, we are drawn to discover what’s waiting out there without knowing yet if we have the courage to face it.
Whatever makes you glad to be alive - do that, whenever you can.
Feeling overwhelmed? Join us for a transformative meditation experience on Fear.
📅&nbsp;Next Session:
<ul><li>In-Person: Thursday, December 18th, 7 PM ET 185 Lincoln St. Suite 300, Hingham (Crow Point Pizza Plaza)</li></ul>
This Week's Focus: Fear
Key Points:
· &nbsp;Fear is natural—and workable. We can’t stop it from arising, but we can change how we meet it.
· &nbsp;Mindful awareness softens fear. Turning toward fear with presence reveals it as a passing feeling, not a fixed reality.
· &nbsp;Courage grows from connection. When we remember our interdependence, fear loosens and steadiness returns.
The teachings are given freely!

FEAR
Fear is not an enemy to conquer, but an energy to meet with mindful awareness.
Fear is a natural human response to uncertainty. In challenging times, it can rise quickly, whispering of what might go wrong and quietly tightening our sense of ease. We cannot prevent fear from appearing, but we cantransform the way we relate to it.
Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us, “The only way to ease our fear… is to acknowledge our fear and look deeply at its source.” So often, fear grows from our longing to control what lies beyond our reach—our health, the future, the safety of those we love, the impermanence of all things. We cling tightly, hoping the grasp will keep us safe, yet this tension rarely brings comfort.
Mindfulness does not ask us to erase fear. It invites us instead to pause, to breathe, and to gently turn toward what unsettles us. When we meet fear with presence rather than resistance, it softens. We begin to see it clearly—as a temporary state, not a defining truth. In that clarity, we reclaim our steadiness. We remember that we are not powerless; we can hold our experience without being overwhelmed by it.
This is the heart of courage: the willingness to stay present. Through practice, we touch something deeper—our interconnectedness, the truth that we belong to a larger whole. From this place of belonging, fear gradually loosens its hold, and a quiet resilience begins to grow.
