A short excerpt from a talk by Trudy Goodman (recorded for the 2025 Art of Meditation Global Summit) introducing the central meditation insight of impermanence. Goodman uses personal anecdotes (hair loss during illness, losing baby teeth) to illustrate how sustained meditation practice reveals the changing nature of experience and cultivates equanimity.

Chapters

This may be the biggest thing you understand from your meditation practice is about impermanence. And, you know, if you're young, you don't we. I can see it looking in the mirror. And then when I was sick, I lost most of my hair, too. So it's very clear that hair, at least, can be very impermanent. You know, you're not looking in the mirror and thinking about impermanence when you're losing your baby teeth and getting new teeth. You're just excited. But one of the things that really comes with ongoing meditation practice is, even if it's not every day, but if you keep coming back to it and doing it, you begin to understand that the changing nature of experience, and that's what brings the equanimity.
