“Healing has to be coming together through the minute particulars in the body and in the story that’s actually our experience and not some idea about it.” – Jack Kornfield

In this fresh conversation, Jack and Dr. Levine dive into:

  • Mapping trauma and the path to healing suffering
  • A relaxing Jack “Just Here: Guided Meditation” on loving awareness
  • How An Autobiography of Trauma led to Peter’s powerful healing journey
  • Working with the astrological and Jungian archetype of Chiron, the Wounded Healer
  • Somatic Experiencing and the roots of healing trauma in the body
  • The transformative aspects of meeting trauma with loving kindness and persistence
  • Curiosity as a necessary factor of enlightenment
  • How the gift of Jack’s childhood trauma led him to discover Buddhism
  • Imagination and Peter’s mystical meet-ups with Albert Einstein
  • Miracles, intuition, and psychic premonition/knowing
  • What Jack shared with his scientific-materialist atheist father on his deathbed
  • Our inseparable connection and recognition that it’s always “us” in this web of life


“The whole notion that we are separate is a fabrication. We are in a field of consciousness.” – Jack Kornfield
