Another metaphor Dhammarato uses as a result of the practice is "sea legs" of Upekkha - the dynamic balance that allows one to handle the high seas of life.  See the video version of this call on YouTube. ►YouTube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0...2022-04-0552 minDhammarato DhammaDhammarato DhammaHow to Feel Safe, Secure, Satisfied and Successful through Anapanasati Practice | Justin #3 | 8.2.21Justin and Dhammarato discuss the differences in meditative approaches practiced by the Buddhists and the Westerners.
