Maitri is a Sanskrit word often translated as \u201clovingkindness\u201d but several teachers in our lineage have gone further, naming it \u201ccourageous unconditional friendliness,\u201d or \u201cbrave warmheartedness.\u201d In this episode, Erin speaks about the importance of this practice in living a healing life. Traditional Buddhist teachings suggest beginning the practice with oneself, then extending our circles of care ever outward. Erin shares personal stories of working with this practice, and invites you in. She also shares about her upcoming online class Maitri: A Courtship with the Essential Ingredient.
