We talk about compassion and everybody's like, yeah, compassion is so nice, but the actual practice of compassion, what makes it unique, is its willingness to be in pain.
Ever wondered how clinging to certain aspects of yourself might be the root of your suffering? In this episode of 'Dharma Junkie', Justin Otto is joined by his friends Rachael Tanner-Smith and Rev. Mikey Noechel for a lively discussion that starts with 90s hip-hop and sideways mullets but quickly transitions into deeper territory. The trio explores Buddhist Psychology and the Five Aggregates, concepts that might just change the way you see yourself and your struggles.
Mikey shares how meditation has helped him shift his relationship with his thoughts, a journey that began in an alcoholic family. Meanwhile, Rachael opens up about her own path of self-discovery, integrating Buddhist wisdom with Western psychology. They explain how our attachment to the Five Aggregates—form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness—creates suffering and distracts us from spiritual growth.
This episode is not just about theory; it's a call to look inward and consider how these teachings can apply to your own life. If you're curious about Buddhist concepts or looking for practical advice on letting go of material attachments, this conversation is for you. Plus, there's an invitation to join a practice-intensive event on Buddhist Psychology and the Five Aggregates at Wildheart Meditation Center in Nashville, TN.
Tune in for a mix of light-hearted banter and profound insights that could help you on your journey to self-discovery.
