Meditation for Eco-anxiety

With Dekila Chungyalpa

“Eco-anxiety is fear, grief, and distress regarding the environmental and climate crises we face today. Tonglen is a Tibetan Buddhist meditation practice that focuses on giving and receiving, and can be particularly helpful when dealing with eco-anxiety and climate despair. This practice was given to me by Ogyen Trinley Dorje, His Holiness the 17th Karmapa, as a way to transform eco-anxiety into the motivation to heal others—and is particularly useful for environmentalists and climate activists who might be suffering from burnout. For those of us who aren’t on the front lines but still feel overwhelmed by these issues, this practice provides an easy way to meet our fears of climate change with an attitude of curiosity and gentleness.”
