In this episode I talk with Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, an author, Zen teacher, and Jungian psychotherapist who has devoted his life to the study and application of psychotherapy and Buddhism.? ? In our conversation, we discuss Koshin's latest book,? Untangled: Walking The Eightfold Path to Clarity, Courage, and Compassion. ?Among many other things, we talk about: *? The needy Cookie Monster in him, myself, and maybe many of you. * The power of perspective in helping you to recognize when your old stories resurface. * The 3 kinds of minds: Grandmotherly Mind, Great Mind, and Joyful Mind. * Self-clinging as a deep form of stealing. * And how everything, everywhere is a ? "place of practice." ? I was thrilled to have this conversation with Koshin. Keep listening and you'll know why ? you can actually hear the twinkle in his eyes and his beaming smile. ? ?
