Nov 7, 2024

Energy, effort, diligence, enthusiasm is a necessary component of a path of awakening. It functions to sustain and strengthen our practice.

The focus for Days 41-50 of the 100 Days of Care is the ‘far-reaching’ attitude of Energy (Viriya Parami). The perfection of energy is a letting go of what is unwholesome and a leaning into or moving toward what is wholesome. These instructions for practice were given at Stream Yoga + Meditation on Nov 6, 2024.

This recording includes the guided meditation prior to the talk, but does not include the discussion and Q&A that followed. If you are interested in the full 1.5 hrs session, please write to us at hello@gentlydownthestream.org.
