60 Mindful Minutes

Change is inevitable but how we each deal with change is highly variable. In his new book, Master of Change: How to Excel When Everything Is Changing – Including You, author and researcher Brad Stulberg explores how change itself is neutral, and only becomes negative or positive based on how we view it and, more importantly, what we do with it. The latest findings from psychology and cutting-edge neuroscience show us that by developing rugged flexibility, we can successfully adapt to change and navigate the twists and turns of life.

However, it’s becoming harder and harder to see technology’s good side when the headlines offer a nonstop stream of all the doom and gloom it causes.

We all need a dose of optimism at times. I’d been yearning to see how I could make a difference and affect some much-needed change in the world. But the stakes feel so high and the problems feel impossibly complicated and far-reaching. Before this interview, I wanted to know: what can I do? And how can I stop feeling so powerless and hopeless? I found the answers to these questions and more inside Take Heart, Take Action: The Transformative Power of Small Acts, Groups, and Gardens by this week’s guest, Trathen Heckman.

“Complete meditation is not about feeling good— it’s about getting real,” writes Andrew Holecek in his book, Reverse Meditation: How to Use Your Pain and Most Difficult Emotions as the Doorway to Inner Freedom. From this lens, meditation intended only to feel good falls short of what’s possible when we tune into and turn toward ourselves. This week’s conversation focuses on reverse meditation, which is a deliberate turning towards difficult thoughts, emotions and physical pain. And with this new perspective, reverse meditation give us the opportunity to relate to our mind instead of from it.

He has studied sleep yoga, bardo yoga, and other traditional practices with living masters in India and Nepal. Andrew’s books include Dreams of Light, Dream Yoga, and Reverse Meditation.
