In this episode of Heart Wisdom, Jack Kornfield connects with lifestyle expert Sarah Grynberg to talk about a life of greatness.
“Really, meditation is about deep listening. You sit and what needs to be understood will come if you sit quietly. It is like going into the forest and finding a little clearing and sitting down. If you’re quiet for a while the animals, the birds, they all resume their life and you see all the things you would never see before. ” – Jack Kornfield
