Miguel Chen: From Punk Rock to Mindful Living

If you're used to tuning out things you don't like, it starts to creep into things that you do like.
Ever thought punk rock and Buddhism could go hand in hand? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Miguel Chen, a bass player for the punk band Teenage Bottle Rocket, who also happens to be a dedicated meditation practitioner and yoga instructor. Miguel’s journey is anything but ordinary. He shares how his experiences in the punk rock scene, combined with traumatic and uplifting life events, have led him to a path of spiritual awakening.
Miguel talks about the importance of mindfulness and staying present, even in the smallest details of life. Imagine finding joy in the simple sensation of a backpack strap on your shoulder or the feeling of hunger. It’s these moments that Miguel believes hold the key to true spiritual growth. The conversation also dives into how gratitude plays a crucial role in spirituality and how sustainability connects with mindful living.
Miguel’s story is a testament to the idea that no matter where you start, there’s always a way to find meaning and purpose. His unique blend of punk rock energy and Buddhist calm offers a fresh perspective on spirituality that’s both inspiring and relatable. Whether you're a fan of punk rock, interested in Buddhism, or just looking for some inspiration on your own spiritual journey, this episode has something for you.
Tune in to hear Miguel Chen's compelling story and discover how you too can find beauty in everyday moments.
