“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
