Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Dharma of Other People - Matthew Brensilver
Q: Could you say more about the risk?
Truthfulness means we live alongside the possibility of being wrong, which can be very disorienting.
The Dharma of Other People - Matthew Brensilver
Q: What does the fear feel like? Or what is the scary dimension of it?
Being publicly exposed is wrong, but not in control.
Relating to Ourselves and the World - Michaiel Patrick Bovenes
Q: What can we do to connect more deeply with ourselves and others?
Be open and present, be curious and understanding, and shift your energy to connect meaningfully with those around you.
Coming Home to the Body - John Martin
Q: What do you do in the moment when you're experiencing chronic pain?
If I bring attention to the right hip sensation there, and a little discomfort, I can hold it with some kindness and care. It doesn't need to be the primary object of attention.
Coming Home to the Body - John Martin
Q: Do you have thoughts about merging the notion of there is a body with the notion of selflessness?
I advise you just not to think about it, but just drop in the sea like there is the body, like just like watering the plant and letting the plant grow and flower and be interested and curious into the mystery of how that question is going to be answered.
