Do you find yourself thrown by volatile situations and people? After an argument with my teenage son I imagined myself calm and rooted in the earth like a mountain. Wisdom leaders like Thich Nhat Hanh and Jon Kabat-Zinn propose visualizations like this to develop a feeling of inner strength.

Becoming a Mountain

Uplifted is a podcast and a journey, from stories of adversity to new insights for a better life. Think of it as mindfulness taken off the mat and put into practice. Each short episode begins with a story of a personal challenge that, through awareness, leads to new insights and calmer, more positive ways of responding. So, when people or situations provoke us, we can react less reflexively and more thoughtfully. Elements of meditation, lessons from wisdom leaders, music, interviews, and readings are all part of the mix.
