"To live a life of awareness asks a lot of us—it asks that we know ourselves, know our feelings, and know our hearts." – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack compassionately outlines:

  • How to move past our karmas to live a life of awareness
  • Listening inside to find integrity with our words, actions, and hearts
  • Buddha's emphasis on working with our feelings to find freedom
  • How not to get caught in reaction to the 'Eight Worldly Winds'
  • Understanding the law of karma and law of change
  • Overcoming our habits and shaping our future with awareness
  • Understanding our motivations in our actions
  • Discerning between feelings in the body and our mind's stories
  • Diffusing overpowering emotions with awareness


"The first part of karma is simply that things keep changing, and that how we respond to them creates our future. What's in our hearts that motivates us, creates how the future will be." – Jack Kornfield

"Wisdom—understanding, living wisely—comes from the cultivation of awareness." – Jack Kornfield
