“The Divine waits for us to taste the food and not just read the menu.” – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:

  • Reclaiming the ancient Art of Listening
  • Meditating like the Buddha in nature
  • How your breath reflects your life
  • Meditation, attention, and overcoming restlessness
  • The ways we keep ourselves busy
  • How to trust your human instincts
  • Reclaiming an intimacy with your senses
  • Noticing when we’re listening and when we’re not
  • Honoring others through your attention
  • Cultivating the humility of ‘Don’t Know Mind’
  • The mystery of life, death, love, consciousness
  • Nourishing inner stillness and simplifying your mind
  • Letting go into the unfolding present moment
  • The rather bizarre situation of having a human body
  • Our connection to nature, earth, the elements, and all of being
  • Finding the meditative space of no going forward, backward, or standing still


“To meditate is to remember, reclaim, reawaken the ancient art of listening.” – Jack Kornfield

“When the Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree on his night of enlightenment, it wasn’t to do, get, or make something, but to listen inwardly with all of his senses to the nature of this world that we are born into for a time.” – Jack Kornfield
