Vinny Ferraro - Cultivating the Undefended Heart

[@antheakaranasos2047]

I love the teachings of #VinnyFerraro - and his warm way of teaching. One thing always comes up for me when listening to wise teachers is the examples of practice that involve those around us - like Vinny mentioning his partner and giving support as needed as a way of cultivating love & freeing the heart in an undefended way. I love this idea but for those of us who don’t have partners or spouses and whose closest family & friends are far away, this is so hard. Practicing with an undefended heart seems to require in-person community. Or maybe not. It’s just that teachers who I love & respect immensely seem to skip over how to do this work - this practice - when we are physically alone the majority of our time. I think we need companionship and deep connection for this next level of practice. If that’s not true, I’d love to hear more about it! 💜🙏🕊️🌿
