The World Is Burning: Transforming Reactivity into Presence

Heather Sundberg

The great invitation of the teachings is that peace is possible. As we practice, we begin to experience a wider, wiser, more caring perspective around stress and its release. Whether through any of the senses, we see where there’s enchantment—making things more real, permanent, and about me than they really are—and start to find what’s called “disenchantment.” This is a kind of detachment, but not a detachment of not caring. Disenchantment allows intimacy with our experience, aliveness with our experience, because we’re not lost or captured in it. The liberation we seek is right there.
