You won't be staying

Feelings can be astonishingly convincing. When despair comes, it says: this is how things are.
When loneliness comes, it says: I am alone.
When fear comes, it says: this will never change.

But intensity is not permanence. In this episode of The Empty Cup, we explore the strange mercy of impermanence: not only does everything we love change, but suffering changes too. Sometimes we don’t need to fix a painful feeling or argue with it. We may only need to remember:

I know something about you.
You won’t be staying.

What is The Empty Cup?

An empty cup is not blankness; it’s availability. It is the willingness to look more closely at our assumptions, to meet life in a relaxed manner with an open heart. Open to accepting the present moment as it is. If your mind is full—full of opinions, expectations, habitual thinking—, this podcast invites you to sit back, relax and be emptied.
