CJ Liu interviews spiritual teacher Jon Bernie on how we can be present and calm during a time of crises.

Jon explains that our survival instinct can move us into a hyperdrive of action, or perhaps being frozen in shock or denial.

During these times Jon shares the importance of taking time to discharge and unwind the stress, anxiety, grief, or anger.
