Samuel’s first meeting in his “The Seven” series is a very practical teaching about ways we respond when faced with situations that are beyond our control, or otherwise trigger our emotions; he then gives helpful ways we can respond in those situations. During this discussion he talks about: the terrible twins—lack of control and self judgment; things we can do to stave-off feeling low/depressed and bring ourselves up; why racism is out of control in this country, two steps we can take to help it shift, and how the world itself would change if this paradigm shifted; and things we can do to comfort and calm ourselves.
