Diego PerezGUEST
I found, you know, it's funny.
Diego PerezGUEST
It's like, and I've heard this from like Jack Kornfield and just so many, you know, the older wisdom teachers and the best testing ground for your wisdom is hanging out with your siblings.
Diego PerezGUEST
Yeah.
Diego PerezGUEST
hanging out with your mom and dad, you know? And then there are like times where you feel like, I'm like, whoa, I'm, you know, I remember this triggered really immediately or there isn't even a trigger.

Cynthia WinwardHOST
Jack Kornfield line, bowing to the reality, bowing to the current reality.
Cynthia WinwardHOST
Like there's something about that for me being able to be present in the moment is to bow to the reality of this very moment, if that makes sense.
Cynthia WinwardHOST

Stuart WatkinsGUEST
So this is where certain teachers came in and a few more like tantric teachings and Buddhist tantric teachings, which are very focused on Interestingly, on the practical and making the ordinary extraordinary.
Stuart WatkinsGUEST
And, you know, the great mindfulness teacher, Jack Kornfield, I remember hearing him talk about his book that he was launching at the time called Ecstasy, Then the Laundry.
Stuart WatkinsGUEST
And there I was doing a whole lot of laundry and a whole lot of dirty nappies and just in it.
Stuart WatkinsGUEST
And so those tantric Buddhist teachings started to really ring true of like, oh, okay, I don't want to escape this.
Gayathri NarayananGUEST
And then I kind of infused that parenting curriculum with more mindfulness practices and started teaching it that way.

Marianne PaventiHOST
You can go at your own pace.
Marianne PaventiHOST
One of my teachers, Jack Kornfield, said, approach the body as a container for possibility and joy, but also approach it very tenderly for all that it has carried and all that it currently carries.
Marianne PaventiHOST
There is so much wisdom in the body.

And other teachings say, okay, the eating your breakfast is the enlightenment, you know? And then, so you finish, so you cannot do anything.
Shinzan PalmaGUEST

Shinzan PalmaGUEST
the beautiful book of John Caulfield, After the Ecstasy is Your Laundry, so that you need to work with that integration about your awakening, how you're understanding about the Dharma, how you can express or give it form into your everyday life.
Shinzan PalmaGUEST
So, yeah, and then I really hope that this time I just check in the book and it's very inspired.
