Summary

In this flowing question and answer session, Jack helps his students mindfully navigate topics like loneliness, intention setting, meditating with ADD, meeting our shame with nobility, and dealing with jerks.

"The spiritual path is really step by step. If you think of it as long, you can get lost and overwhelmed. But if you realize that you're not going from here to there, you're going from there to hear, the path leads you back to this moment and to a more tender heart.” – Jack Kornfield

In this question and answer session, Jack and his students mindfully explore:

A do-it-yourself intention setting ceremony
What it's like to practice meditation with ADD
The benefits of going on spiritual retreat both in-person and online
How to handle being triggered by "jerks," politics, greed, hate, and injustice
Meeting our shame and regret with nobility and growth
Finding patience and trust for the spiritual path
Spirituality and how to deal with difficult family
The importance of satsang (sangha, spiritual community)

Transform your life through Jack's Kornfield's most powerful stories in this brand new 10-hour journey! Live session begin this October!

0:00.0	It's really step by step. If you think of it as long, you can kind of get lost and overwhelmed.
0:10.0	But if you realize that where you're going is not there, not going from here to there,
0:16.0	you're going from there to here. The path leads you back to this moment.
0:23.0	And in this moment, too, a more tender heart to yourself and those people around you.
0:41.0	Hello, welcome back to Jack Cornfield's Heart Wisdom podcast. Here on Rom Doss's Be Here Now Network,
0:47.0	I'm Ganesh Braimiller. Here to introduce episode 207, Rekindal and Renew.
0:52.0	This is a really cool one. I know I often say that, but this is focused around Jack's interaction with his students.
1:00.0	Now normally we have Jack giving a Dharma talk, which is around some focused subject,
1:05.0	or he's being interviewed or interviewing somebody with a stick. You know, somebody who is focused around a specific topic as well.
1:14.0	Where this is a really interesting one because Jack is flowing with the wind of the individual that he is speaking with at the time.
1:24.0	I experienced this firsthand when I was at Rom Doss's and Jack took myself and a couple of the other say-box there up to Rom Doss's room
1:34.0	and queued in on each one of us and helped us through very specific questions.
1:40.0	And this episode feels much like that to me. By the end, myself and the other say-box at Hanuman Maui were blown away by Jack's expertise
1:51.0	and his rather shamanic presence and ability to truly queue in on exactly what that individual needs.
2:02.0	So before we dive further into the episode and get into Jack with his students, I want to offer you the opportunity to be a student of Jack.

2:19.0	transform your life through Jack Hornfield's most powerful stories, a 10-hour journey.
2:26.0	This is one of the courses that I worked on that really hit my heart.
2:34.0	You know, I'm into all the Buddhism, the lists, the learning the Dharma in a structured way,
2:42.0	but there is something about stories which allow a transmission to come through.
2:46.0	And when we hear them and take them in, they become a part of us.
2:50.0	And then we, even if we're not sharing the story with the people around us, end up transmitting that to them as well through the change in vibration which has occurred through our deep listening.
