Train Emotional Steadiness and the Power of Now#

“If thou art pained by any external thing, it is not this thing that disturbs thee, but thy own judgment about it. And it is in thy power to wipe out this judgment now.” — Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 8.47 (George Long)

Phase I installed the dichotomy. Phase II trains the muscle that operates it: equanimity under fire. You will learn to catch the rising emotion before it becomes a reaction, to shorten the gap between trigger and response, and to return — again and again — to the only time that exists, which is this one.
