Choosing Aliveness: Cultivating Hope, Energy, and Liberation
When our heart is torn apart by personal traumas, our pain might be magnified by a collective suffering caused by political unrest, climate crisis, and/or racial and social injustices. We may attempt to manage our unknown future with doomsday scrolling or addictive behaviors, but these behaviors are usually ineffective and leave us feeling paralyzed, stuck, and hopeless. The Buddha’s Medicine of Dharma encourages us to live in the sacred now, finding hope amidst uncertainty.
