Zen Commuter

In Matthew’s words: As a teacher and counsellor, I draw on this experience and knowledge to help students of diverse backgrounds tap into their own essential truths. In this ever-evolving information age, where big ideas and advice abound, the skills of a spiritual ally—sharing teachings with no-strings-attached and empowering people to become their most authentic selves—are a precious commodity. I deeply value the balance between presenting esoteric teachings in a way that is readily accessible (and in English!), while also creating the context for individuals to find their own voice and thrive. It is incredibly important for me to be able to provide access to Jewish mysticism and wisdom to those who feel alienated, confused, or intimidated by traditional routes.

Today’s episode focuses on something that we usually don’t think about; managing our thoughts. Most people blindly accept the thoughts that enter their minds, thinking that they are real. Not even questioning their nature or where they come from. In this episode I talk about the illusory nature of thoughts, and how we can see them differently to arrive at a life that is a more joyful.

Adventure is what makes life worthwhile. And adventure is a key part of how award-winning author Pat Wetzel lives life. From Wharton Business School to global finance, from disability to learning to soar (literally: I am a sailplane pilot with over a decade of tales to tell); from world travels to travel within, I have led an extraordinary life. And now I tell the stories of other extraordinary people and how they have navigated their bumps in the road and the wisdom they’ve gained along the way.

When we turn our minds from affect to investigation we neutralize the emotional volatility of moments that seem angry or fearful. Today, I share a great article that talks about how to do just that; investigate the feelings instead of getting caught up in their energy.

I have had the pleasure of meeting Stephen Batchelor to interview him on this very show, so I know the depth of thought he has. Equally so, he has a warmth and sense of humor that is so apparent. All those qualities are evident in this blog post about the benefits of solitude.
