The Unknown World

About this episode

Martha Beck explores the concept of phase transition and how to navigate radical change through relaxation and meditation.

We’re living through a “phase transition,” but I believe it’s what our souls signed up for. In this Gathering Room, I explore why the chaos of our times isn’t a sign of collapse, but of metamorphosis. Using the metaphor of ice to water to steam, I share how relaxation, not clinging, is the key to navigating radical change. I’ll also guide you in our Space, Silence, and Stillness meditation and share why your wackiest fascination may be your best compass right now. Join me, and let’s learn to fly.
