Freedom and peace are available in any moment by committing fully to present-moment experience and meeting it with embodied awareness and kindness.

Join Catherine Roebuck, relationship coach, talks with couples therapist James Christensen in a pre-recorded conversation about trying to escape discomfort or change external circumstances.

The practice is to become a compassionate witness to what is happening and to build real-time experiences of safety, openness, and self-trust.

Key Points

• Freedom is not something we arrive at by fixing our circumstances

• Embodiment combined with kindness helps shift us from panic and urgency into witnessing and compassion

• Kindness toward ourselves accelerates growth and neuroplasticity, while harsh self-judgment tends to shut learning down
