Episode 2: Re-discovering your true self

In this wide ranging discussion, Frank and Lisa explore the question "who are you?" This episode starts with David Whyte's poem Tilicho Lake, and discuss the astonishment when one sees the "true shape of their own face"- yet, when discussing a goal, the focus becomes on the journey of self discovery rather than the destination.

We also talk a bit about awareness of thoughts. There's a transformational component to awareness and when one becomes aware of thoughts, they dissolve as the perspective towards thoughts shifts. Meditation builds your "awareness muscle"-Overthinking takes us out of the present moment and leads to reactivity. An awareness perspective allows a "response" instead of a "reaction". Meditation can be our "pilot project"  as it is done quiet peaceful setting, and this sense of awareness can carry through to our every day lives.

These, and other hard to put into words concepts were discussed, we hope you enjoy and get something out of the conversation.

The episode ends with a guided meditation, Mindfulness of the Breath.
