My time in Shambhala was marked much more by my relationship with The Victoria shambhala center- so the local situation- than it was with the international situation, the international leadership, where it seems like so many of the problems have arisen.
Ever thought meditation was just about sitting still and clearing your mind? Think again. In this episode of 'Dharma Junkie', host Justin Otto chats with Neil McKinlay, a seasoned practitioner of embodied meditation. Neil's journey is anything but typical. He's not only a meditation teacher but also a parent, partner, author, and competitive swim coach. His diverse life experiences bring a refreshing perspective to the practice of meditation, making it relatable and practical for everyday life.
Throughout the episode, Neil shares how he navigates the challenges and opportunities that contemporary life throws at us. He discusses the mindfulness movement, Vipassana meditation, and the influence of Buddhist culture in America. But what really stands out is his emphasis on integrating meditation into daily routines. Neil believes that practicing precepts in everyday life can lead to a fuller understanding of the eightfold path, making it 'tremendously helpful out in my everyday life'.
Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical tips to deepen your practice. Tune in to hear Neil's unique take on how meditation can be woven into the fabric of modern living.
