Already Free of Fear, Already at Peace - Talk with Dr. Rick Hanson

[@ChildPerson]

81, here. So appreciate you as I climb into bed at 3 pm. No guilt. Just grateful that I was up and sitting outside for 4 hours. Thank you for this, for your other podcast with Forrest.

Rick, how I appreciated this talk! It comes at a time I am dealing with anxiety over things that cannot be changed. I felt relief when you talked about that peace can still be found even in the acknowledging of end-of-life issues. I know that to be true, but really needed this comforting reminder.

Dear Rick, thank you so much for these talks and all the free stuff on your website. It's so helpful to receive Buddhist teachings in the context of big issues such as childhood trauma, anxiety, fear, lack of self worth, disconnection and so on. In my experience in Tibetan Buddhism, often, talk of our own issues are seen as self cherishing, a negative trait, that is an obstacle in the path to enlightenment, especially for Bodhisattvas. But this can be so confusing if one was traumatised or have psychological issues. Is this spiritual bypassing? This lead me to feel dismissed by my teachers. I also did not understand my issues in the context of my spiritual practice. I began to feel lost even when taking part in advanced spiritual practices. I speak from experience. I am so pleased I have found you and now have hope I'll be able to make sense of it all. Thank you again. I am so pleased that you are posting these talks, it will definitely help so many people. Bless you and your family. ❤😊🌈🍀

Thank you. Very timely. At this time, your talk applies directly to me in a very big way. How did you know? Deeply grateful.

Thx so much. It is always helpful to reflect in this way. And I love your „ahhh, it´s ok now. It has been terrible stuff , but it´ s ok now.“

This is great! Really appreciate you and your work !

My real or perceived sense of readiness is translating into seclusion and solitude with which I am not unhappy. Can you comment please.

This is a very tricky topic. Better not to say you've been lucky. It implies the others are not. Remember one may feel lucky for the insights they have gleaned for their condition that is different from yours..

[@darlafitzpatrick8770]

It was an acknowledgement that everyone's experience is different, and that some have more challenges than others. For him not to have said anything would have been more offensive. I don't understand why some feel that because anyone out there can take offense at anything, people should say nothing. That's not how humans communicate and learn from each other.
