| 0:00.0 | It's an interesting thing because when someone's not physically here, you can keep trying to reach, but it doesn't always work that way. |
| 0:06.0 | But the best way I can describe it is exactly what we're talking about, that awakening. |
| 0:09.0 | It is a real thing, let me be the first to say that when we're able to constantly keep ourselves more calm, we're able to connect more. |
| 0:15.0 | And when we connect more, it does not matter our religious beliefs. That's the beautiful thing. |
| 0:32.5 | Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Robbins and welcome to life, death, and the space between. |
| 0:38.5 | I'm so excited for our conversation today and to welcome Dr. Janelle Kim to the show. |
| 0:46.7 | Today, Dr. Kim and I are going to talk about Miyang Sung, the Korean Art of Living Meditation, |
| 0:53.2 | and how we can weave this art into our everyday lives without feeling like mindfulness is something that needs to be separate |

| 1:29.8 | Like a master for those in the Western culture |
| 1:32.5 | where not as familiar is just a teacher, |
| 1:34.5 | but it's almost like an expert, |
| 1:36.4 | beyond an expert in that field. |
| 1:38.1 | So to use that word master, |
| 1:39.9 | which is used a lot more casually, if I can say, here in the West, in the East. That is a very |
| 1:47.3 | powerful whole presence, understanding of that person's life even when you say that word, |
