Mindfulness Man

There's a real magic that happens when we help others. This generosity is called dana in Buddhism. I truly believe bacause I see it in my own life, that helping others always benefits me. In fact, I would go as far as to say, I receive my greatest blessings from giving of myself to others; be that time, tuition, physical gifts or even a smile.

We are wired for altruism. How beautiful.

This week for the first time ever, I am releasing an interview on this podcast. This is an interview with Susi Amendola, one of Dean Ornish's most senior teachers from his Lifestyle Medicine Program.

Please excuse my lack of interview skills, I promise they will improve.

I also encourage you to get outside with some walking meditation instruction and the benefits it has for us.

If we relax into the body and patiently wait in stillness, the breath will reveal itself. This is a much more relaxed approach to meditation that you might find useful if you are a striver.

“In stillness all that needs to be known, is shown.”

Mudita, translated as sympathetic joy, is the practice of sharing in the joys of others. Seeing others do well in life and instead of being jealous and thinking why them, we instead celebrate truly from the heart, feeling as happy as if it was our own great fortune.

This brings about great gladness to our lives and increases our own joy.
