“Believe it or not, you’re not inherently anxious. You’re inherently whole, good, and kind as is. When we rest in meditation, we discover that underneath the stories we tell ourselves about our anxiety is anxiety itself. When we look at anxiety itself, we realize it’s a hell of a lot more ephemeral than we might have suspected. In fact, underneath the anxiety is innate peace.”
