In this deep dive into the world of Zen, we explore the profound concept of attachment and its impact on our daily lives.
In this episode, we delve into the three-part meditation practice of Letting Go, Letting Come, and Letting Be. These exercises are designed to evoke a specific energy and help us cultivate equanimity - the ability to be present without being pulled off our center by desires, frustrations, or intense efforts to control outcomes.
[07:29] Equanimity is the crucial quality needed in work and life. It is centeredness, the ability to stay focused and not be pulled off course by desires or frustration.
[11:08] Recognize that storytelling creates desires and fears, but they are not reality.
[12:29] Recognize and let go of attachments and aversions, embrace what comes, learn from failures, overcome ignorance to cultivate equanimity.
[16:59] Venture capital in the slow and frustrating cannabis industry. Anxious about progress and investment returns. Adjusting expectations.
[20:40] Freedom allows you to overcome setbacks and find happiness.
[24:48] Understanding the unknown through medical process helps alleviate fear and improve well-being across various aspects of life.
[28:46] Our perception of others reflects our own depth of reflection. Those who are self-aware can understand others on a deeper level, benefiting personal and professional relationships.
[00:30:20] The meditation consists of three parts: Letting go, letting come, and letting be. It involves clenching and then relaxing the fists, pushing away and then inviting in, and observing the present moment with an open gaze.
