A Meditation to Welcome This Moment with Curiosity with Frank Ostaseski

This week, Frank Ostaseski guides us through a meditation that invites us to let curiosity lead. Life doesn’t always bring what we desire—instead, it can deliver pain, uncertainty, and even sorrow. While we can’t always change these circumstances or the emotions that arise with them, we can choose to meet them with an open curiosity. When we do, we create space to welcome, or at least acknowledge, whatever comes our way. This openness helps us release the added suffering that often follows tough moments, reminding us that while life’s challenges are inevitable, the suffering we add to them is optional.
