The past shapes the present, yet often we feel as if we’re trapped in its grip and cannot move forward. Both Buddhism and Western psychology agree on the importance of releasing the traumas of our past—yet how do we let go of the experiences that have helped make us who we are? Jack Kornfield, who has intensively studied both Eastern and Western philosophy, believes that healing our relationship to the past starts with one simple step. In this audio clip, he explains what that step is, and how we can immediately begin walking the path to freedom.
