“You have heard of ‘out of the body experiences,’ but what we’re after is something more unusual and important, an ‘in the body experience.’” – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack mindfully illuminates:
  • Finding strength, wakefulness, and compassion amidst it all
  • The Coconut Monk and the Jesus-Buddha connection
  • Finding compassion and joy despite suffering and war
  • Healing—what it is, how it arises, and how we can connect with it
  • Listening and respect as the ground for healing
  • Finding and living a path with heart
  • Mindfulness, breath, attention, noting, and the Buddha
  • Meditation and having an ‘in-body experience’
  • Kundalini and opening the energy body
  • Learning to handle both pleasure and pain
  • Buddha and finding the Middle Way
  • The healing of reconnecting with our senses and world around us
  • What addictions really mean in an addicted society
  • Facing our suffering as the gateway to the precious mystery of life
  • Reading children’s direct messages to God

“There’s a healing that comes just in reconnecting with the senses and the world around us.” – Jack Kornfield

“As we begin to practice together, we can sense that meditation and spiritual work is to bring a heartfelt awareness to our life, and out of this there comes an awakening or opening, which we call healing.” – Jack Kornfield

This episode was originally recorded in late December 1991.
