S1 Ep07 - The Zen of Being


Listen Later

There's a layer underneath doing and thinking that most people have very little awareness of, and so they can't do much about it if they're stuck.

In this episode, Leo looks at the ways of being, and how it's probably the most important thing when it comes to changing our lives.

Topics Covered
  • Leo's reflection on the of podcasting process, and how he’s learning
  • The collaborative effort behind the podcast, including the music composed by members of the Fearless Mastery program, contributions from Leo's son, Justin, and Amanda's work behind the scenes
  • Ways of being as a critical layer of our actions and decisions
  • The layers of doing, thinking, and being, and how they influence our behaviors
  • The importance of recognizing and working with the layer of being to address resistance, fear, and other emotions that hinder progress
  • Expansive ways of being such as joy, love, curiosity, and compassion
  • How to practice working with the layer of being: noticing, sitting with it, and choosing a more desired way of being
  • The Zen of being, emphasizing the practice of being present and relaxed in the moment
  • Updates on Leo's writing project, a book about his grandmother, and his next purpose project involving Zen sewing
