In spiritual work, we sometimes refer to “the Longing.” We can think of it as an inner sense of something we desperately want but can’t quite define; for many people it is this unspecified sense of craving that brings us to practice in the first place.
In this episode, we explore: What is it? What does it want? How do we satisfy it? Can it be satisfied? As we dive deeper, we discover that this capital-L Longing isn’t about fulfilling the common desires of life for possessions, connection or status (though it is most often mistaken for that). Instead, our experience of this Longing can reveal to us the deepest truths of Creation.
