To really bear it, I think we have to first bear it, and if we can do that, then we can actually do loving action, which is the third part of our work, which is to be loving flows from compassion
Ever thought about how compassion can transform your life? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Koshin Paley Ellison, a seasoned Zen monk and co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care. With decades of experience in Zen training and psychotherapy, Koshin shares how compassionate action can be a powerful tool for building resilience.
Koshin's journey began in 1987, and he has since become a respected figure in both Zen and Jungian psychoanalysis. His clinical training at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Medical Center and the Jungian Psychoanalytic Association laid the foundation for his work in contemplative care. He's also the co-editor of 'Awake at the Bedside', a book that offers teachings on palliative and end-of-life care.
During their conversation, Koshin discusses the impact of his grandmother on his life and work, revealing a touching story that changed his perspective forever. He emphasizes the importance of loving every part of someone, even the parts you don't understand or like. This idea extends to his broader philosophy of self-care and community, where he believes that taking care of oneself is crucial to being able to care for others.
Koshin also touches on the increasing issue of loneliness in society and how building a sense of community can help combat it. He encourages listeners to ask themselves, 'Where am I contracting away from things around me?' and to approach life with curiosity and empathy. By listening with empathy, especially to those expressing anger, we can understand that such emotions often stem from unmet needs.
If you're looking for practical wisdom on how to incorporate compassionate action into your daily life and build resilience, this episode is a must-listen. Koshin's insights are not just theoretical; they're deeply rooted in his personal experiences and professional expertise. Tune in to discover how small acts of compassion can make a big difference in your life.
