“Dzogchen in Everyday Life” – 8th Episode: Fear of uncertainty and the unknown
As a continuation of the series, the “relief of emotions on a daily basis”, we are dedicating a special series on families of emotions directly linked to ongoing climate upheavals.
In this “Dzogchen in Everyday Life” eighth episode, Mila Khyentse Rinpoche and Damien Cavrois, take a closer look at the fear of uncertainty and the anxiety we may feel about the future and its changing conditions.
Host: Marie-Laure.
Few of us are really clear about our emotions, especially when they affect the deeper structures of our being, other species and the earth itself. Yet these emotions are increasingly present in our lives, and we feel often powerless about it. Is there anything we can do? Certainly, according to Mila Khyentse Rinpoche and Damien Cavrois.
