I lead meditations which work specifically with issues around climate.
These days, with the climate emergency, and the right wing leading us away from climate healing, and wars and other related problems, we need to have a strong enough practice that we can not turn away, and remain peaceful, positive, aware, and be in the moment with whatever arises. We need to be able to stay present with the most extreme and impossible emotions. That way we’ll be able to help more effectively and with less burnout. We can stay steady while fighting a fire, or on a Greenpeace ship or in prison.
I know a lot of people meditate to find a calm, free space away from all that. That’s also fair enough. There are plenty of meditations on this site for that too.
I’ve led a range of climate meditations. these are quite specific and rather confronting:
Bodhisattva / ecosattva – a person with motivation to help others.
meditations on dealing with the climate emotions, to be able to cope with big emotions for burnout, and from struggling with anger and despair. We can come to see that they all are love. Why would we get upset, if we didn’t care?
climate vision,
having the vision for of the positive is also a great way to deal with climate pain. We can use our creativity, recreate a new self, and all the things on this site.
21 Taras are very helpful for this work. I am preparing a book of work with them.
