About this episode

This episode explores the complex relationship between joy and pain through a Dharma talk and guided meditation.

"The Agitation of Joy" is a Dharma talk and brief guided meditation on the topic of how even joy can sometimes feel painful, and an exploration of how that actually works. This topic was suggested by a community member who received great news, but then couldn't sleep all night which was the pain they endured. We discuss why and how to work with that. I hope you find it useful! Enjoy! https://bio.reverendgeorgebeecher.com
