You Are Enough: A Gentle Meditation on Basic Goodness with Lodro Rinzler
Episode Overview
- Use simple breath awareness to return gently to the present moment without forcing or changing the breath.
- Treat wandering thoughts with kindness by acknowledging them and coming back to the breath instead of trying to fix the mind.
- Look for a sense that you are okay in the present moment and don’t need to fix or judge anything.
- Shift attention to emotions and use a "yes, and" approach, pairing honest feelings with awareness of positive aspects in your environment.
- Recognise that you are more than your emotions by widening your perspective beyond stories and words about what you feel.
“We are more than just the emotions.”
What drives someone to seek a calmer mind and a kinder way of relating to themselves? This session with meditation teacher Lodro Rinzler offers a gentle, down-to-earth route back to a sense of "basic goodness" that feels very human and very achievable. Designed for people who might be a bit sceptical about meditation yet still hungry for a more meaningful life, this guided practice unfolds in two simple parts.
First, Lodro walks you through mindful breathing with a strong emphasis on ease. There’s no fancy technique, no pressure to "do it right". Instead, he keeps inviting the listener to just notice the breath and remember that "however your breathing is fine. Just notice." When the mind wanders, it’s met with kindness: "We don't treat that as a problem or something in need of fixing." From there, the focus shifts to emotions.
Lodro asks you to check in honestly with how you’re feeling—relaxed, annoyed, anxious, heartbroken, whatever’s real—and then pair it with something good that’s happening at the same time. "I am feeling frustrated, and the birds are chirping right now." It’s a simple "yes, and" approach that helps widen the lens: emotions are present, but they’re not the whole story.
The tone stays light yet sincere throughout, making this especially approachable if you’re dealing with stress, self-criticism, or the emotional ups and downs of changing your relationship with habits like alcohol. Lodro’s reminder that "we are more than just the emotions" offers a quiet kind of hope. If you’re craving a short, structured practice that treats you as a whole person—thoughts, feelings, flaws and all—this meditation might be the gentle reset you’ve been waiting for.
What would it feel like to tell yourself, just for a few minutes, that you are already enough?
