Overview

Hello MBZ1 subscribers,

In studio news for the last couple of weeks, I have been writing articles about a practice called Tonglen, which you can hear on the radio rotation. And then, starting this week, I will be shifting the conversation to a discussion about other traditional practices for hard times.

If you are on the paid membership, you’ve got a second Lab-Work email in your inbox called: Balance & Refresh, Part1. If you have a history with Buddhism or Hinduism, you might be interested in the references to the Brahma Viharas.

For those of you who have a history with Christianity, and with Lent, I have a recommendation. Nadia Bolz-Webber’s article: Here God, I got you this basket of my candy bars is really great and includes some mindfulness practices from the lens of Christianity.

Let me know in the comments if you have been doing practices from other lineages, or even if you have something that you made up yourself that is useful.

I’m looking forward to hearing about what’s nurturing your practices,
-Gena
