EPISODE 98:

How Can I Maintain Inner Peace When Faced With External Pressures?

Live from the inside, out

with Tommy Rosen

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I explore Karen’s thought-provoking question: How Can I Maintain Inner Peace When Faced With External Pressures?

Together, we explore the intersection of yoga teachings, social justice, and the 12-step philosophy. Karen shares her reflections on how yoga sometimes aligns with social causes and the inner conflict she feels when seeking to live from the “inside out” while staying true to her spiritual path.

We look at how we can balance inner peace with external challenges, honoring diverse approaches to spiritual practice, and navigating the delicate balance between personal truth and collective values.

Whether you’re curious about how yoga philosophy applies to modern issues or seeking clarity in your own journey, this episode invites you to reflect, connect, and find your center amidst the complexities of life.

Equanimity is not apathy. Equanimity does not mean disengaging from the world. It means being active in the world in a skillful, present, powerful, and empowered way.

– Tommy Rosen, In The Circle Podcast

Tommy discusses:

  • The power of being present in your body
  • Finding inner peace among chaos
  • Why we should learn to embrace silence
  • We can choose where to focus our energy
