In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda explores the five basic human needs and tells a powerful story of one human’s connection during her travels to Morocco that illustrates the beauty of humanity and the basic need of safety and security. Yedda takes a deep dive into the role of mindfulness in connecting with one another and making change in the world, as well as the five crippling habits that people have developed to accommodate for or put in place of the basic human needs. 

“I believe that we can all hold different truths at the same time. I believe that mindfulness is way more than putting yourself in a pretzel on a cushion somewhere with some cool music and disappearing from the world.” - Yedda Stancil

Are your needs being met? If so, how are they being met? How can these insights into our basic human needs help you connect to your own humanity and to the humanity of the world? Going deeper into the silence of awareness helps us radically love and accept ourselves so that we can radiate that same love into the world to make a meaningful impact. 

“I know that this silence, this ability to shut up and sit down, actually cultivates an ability for me to show up in the world differently and to accept all human beings.” - Yedda Stancil
