Made for these times

We all go through periods in life when we feel like the ground is being pulled out from under our feet. What we once relied on as stable and solid can change or even disappear. In this era of global disruption, threats to our individual, social and planetary security are on the rise, and life can sometimes feel overwhelming. Not only are losses and break-ups painful, but even positive changes can cause great stress.
Life is full of changes: birth, death, marriage, divorce; a new relationship; losing a job or starting a new one; the beginning or end of a phase of life. Change is stressful, even when it is longed for or expected – the unknown can feel daunting and threatening. In her book, *We Were Made for These Times*, extraordinary mindfulness teacher Kaira Jewel Lingo provides accessible advice for navigating difficult transitions, drawing on Buddhist teachings about impermanence to help you establish equanimity and resilience.
