Meditation for the 99%

#91: Gratitude can make you a better friend

  If you’re like me, you might believe that you must earn love by what you do, produce, accomplish. So you always feel burned-out. Or maybe you believe you’ll lose yourself by getting too close to someone. So you avoid deep relationships. Here's how to flip the script. Please rate my podcast so others can find it.

#89: 4 lessons I learned from meditating for hours on end

  This talk was recorded in the fall of 2020. But very little has changed since then, considering we live in a precarious, alienating, often violent capitalist society.

#88: How to cope with the emotional dumpster fire that is capitalist society

This talk was recorded just before the election. But what I talk about in it can be applied to any political crisis. Even white supremacists storming the U.S. Capitol.

#87: How to emotionally navigate a political crisis

  The air freezing. Wind gusting. Tumbleweeds rolling down my street. That’s what winter during a pandemic looks like in my mind. I’ve read all the lists to prepare for a likely second wave of COVID-19. My workout routine is solid. Therapy is going well. But none of it feels like enough. Part of me is terrified about being even more isolated. Another part of me is in denial, like that meme with the dog saying, “This is fine,” as the house burns around him.

#86: Preparing for the coronavirus winter

  It really does feel like half the country likes having a racist, misogynist reality TV show star as president. Or they’re willing to tolerate him to “own the libs.” But are Trump supporters really all that different from me? Please hit "subscribe" and rate the podcast so others can find it.

#85: No, half the country didn’t vote for Trump. But it sure feels like it.

I recently heard someone tell a story that made me feel less powerless about the country's political situation — at least at first. Please hit "subscribe" and rate the podcast so others can find it.

#84: Tired of feeling self-righteous about politics?

  I often find myself wanting to punch Trump supporters in the face. I want to hold them down and force feed them the awareness that the rich and powerful are swindling them. But that feels shitty. Not because it’s wrong of me to want to do those things. Because hate burns. It tenses up my shoulders and my gut. It makes me forget to breathe, to feel my feet on the ground.

#83: Is hating Trump supporters eating you up inside? Me too.

One of my favorite recent movies is the documentary “Free Solo” (2018), in which Alex Honnold climbs the 3,000-foot El Capitan rock wall without a rope. But my favorite scene isn’t when he summits. Or when he shows off the van he lives in so he can focus on climbing. Or any of the times he nearly falls. Please hit "subscribe" and rate the podcast so others can find it.

#82: This seemingly trivial scene in "Free Solo" contains a life-changing lesson

  It’s okay that you want Trump to die from COVID-19. It’s also okay if you feel bad for him, like you would anyone suffering. Your internal world isn’t social media. There’s no “right” or “woke” feeling. There’s room inside of you for all your thoughts and feelings. Infinite space for resentment, sadness, anger, disbelief, apathy.

#81: It’s okay that you want Trump to die

As social worker and author Brené Brown says, "The most compassionate people I’ve interviewed over the past 13 years were absolutely the most boundaried … loving and generous and really straightforward with what’s okay and what’s not okay."

#80: The most loving people are the best at setting boundaries

  I was catching up with a therapist friend recently when a light bulb went off in my mind: Meditation is harm reduction. It doesn’t solve the deeper emotional issues that cause many of our problems. But it helps us feel a little better in the here and now. Please hit "subscribe" and rate the podcast so others can find it. Here's the original blog post that inspired this episode.

#79: Your girlfriend is right. You should see a therapist.

Our endless fears, worries, and resentments make life harder. But what if—like the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche once put it—we could turn our unsettled mind into an ally?

#78: How I turned my anxiety into an ally for getting sh*t done (and actually relaxing)

  Where did my tendency to hustle and strive and work all the time come from? Why am I almost always planning and worrying about the future? Why can’t I rest more often? Why am I afraid to fully let go and relax? Why am I constantly standing on the balls of my feet, leaning headfirst into the future? Please hit "subscribe" and rate the podcast so others can find it.
