Ep. 141 - Strong Back, Soft Front: The Posture of Meditation is The Posture of Courage

The Road Home with Ethan Nichtern

In this episode, Ethan links a crucial set of instructions from mindfulness meditation teachers of the past regarding how we carry our posture to what it means to show up in this world at a time of chaos. He discusses the instructions on mindfulness meditation from the “warrior” tradition of enlightened society, as well as decoding the qualities of the instruction to maintain a “strong back, and a soft front.”
