Fausto and Emily discuss wellness culture's commodification of mindfulness, meditation and other Buddhist foundational concepts. They discuss recent quick fix items being sold as shortcut or spiritual bypass to the challenging personal work required for release, growth and alleviation of suffering. They discuss celebrity versus source credibility and the ever growing expansion of products sold as anesthetics to life's suffering. They discuss allowing emotions to guide us in practice and the varied parts of Tibetan practice, that help facilitate this ongoing lifelong process of self excavation and expansion.
