We Were Made for These Times

We all go through times where it feels like the rug is being pulled out from under us. What we relied on as steady and solid may change or even appear to vanish. Not only are loss and separation painful, but even positive changes can create great stress. Yet life is full of change: birth, death, marriage, divorce; a new relationship; losing or starting a job; beginning a new phase in life or ending one. Change is stressful, even when it is much desired or anticipated--the unknown can feel scary and threatening. In ten concise chapters, experienced mindfulness teacher Kaira Jewel Lingo imparts accessible advice on navigating difficult times of transition, drawing on Buddhist teachings on impermanence to establish equanimity and resilience.

In this book, you'll learn powerful ways to meet life's challenges with wisdom, resilience, and ease. Practice time-honored teachings of Buddhist psychology and meditations that develop presence and compassion, helping us release the fear, doubt, and resistance that hold us back. Each chapter in Weathering the Storm holds an essential teaching and guided meditation practice, unfolding a step-by-step process to nurture deeper freedom and stability in daily life.
