Compassion, kindness, equanimity, and joy are not only the fruits of the awakened life but also the path to it--attitudes of mind that can be cultivated through intention and dedication. Also known as the brahma viharas (sublime abodes) and the "Four Immeasurables," these enobling qualities are far more than simply the "feel-good" states they are often mistaken for. They must be pursued sincerely as a spiritual practice--not just as a means of getting a "spiritual high"--in order to experience the full extent of their power.

In Boundless Heart, Christina Feldman presents teachings on the Four Immeasurables, exploring how they balance each other in a way that enhances them all. Her simple practices will lead you toward a life infused with kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity--and to a way of being that promotes those qualities to the world at large.
