In this talk on cultivating well-being through Buddhist practice, Gil touches on:

• Happiness as something we do not pursue, but cultivate by creating and recognizing conditions for it
• The “three breath journey” meditation practice, which helps to shift perception and be present
• Developing clarity and ease through mindfulness practice
• Transforming challenging emotions and experiences by befriending them non-judgmentally
• Physical presence and awareness in the body as a part of cultivating well-being
• Experimenting with different mindfulness techniques to find what brings you joy and ease

“We create the conditions for happiness, and we learn to recognize the conditions that bring it forth. But we try not to be the cause of happiness, but we are cultivating happiness and well-being.” – Gil Fronsdal
