71: "Why We Practice" - reflection and meditation with Brandon Nappi

We practice meditation because the present moment is the only place where we can truly find ourselves, love others, and be loved by the divine. This is why we gather, why we sit, why we breathe together. We practice surrendering to what lies beyond our control and responding rather than reacting to life’s challenges. We cultivate curiosity about what’s arising within and around us, learning to do difficult things like changing and growing. Because we trust there’s a limitless reservoir of strength, compassion, and resilience flowing through us at every moment.
