Dzogchen and the "relief" of emotions on a daily basis (11) - changing conditions - summary 1

This is the first of two exceptional episodes concluding the series on “The Relief of Emotions on a Daily Basis” and families of emotions directly related to the ongoing climate upheavals, with our guest Mila Khyentse Rinpoche.

In previous episodes, we found that we didn't necessarily make the connection between the evolution of the external conditions and our emotional states, and that this kept us in a state of tension and continuous suffering. Our usual mode of response to this suffering is the famous fight or flight, which only serves to maintain this state of malaise and confusion.

We've also seen that Dzogchen offers a different path to our usual reactions, one that enables us to achieve genuine emotional calm, develop greater clarity about our living conditions and help us to respond more appropriately to situations.

In this episode, we invite you to deepen your understanding and experience of this path to clarity and calm through a series of short practices.

Host: Marie-Laure
