If you struggle with the terrifying reality that everything changes, this conversation is for you. <a href="http://bartvanmelik.com/">Bart van Melik</a> is a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and our Teacher of the Month for January. In this live session recorded on Zoom with subscribers to the <a href="http://app.danharris.com/">10% with Dan Harris app</a>, Bart and Dan explore one of Bart's favorite teachings: "Keep calmly knowing change"—four words that supposedly distill all 84,000 of the Buddha's teachings. We talk about: <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why attuning to the flow of things brings peace (even though change is terrifying)—and what the Buddha said on his deathbed about impermanence </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> How to introduce meditation to kids without making it seem difficult or boring </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> The three dimensions of mindfulness: internal (your own mind), external (noticing other people's breath on the subway), and relational (the field we're all co-creating together) </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Whether connecting through venting and complaining is harmless or something to examine more closely </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> "Useless speech" (sampappalāpa)—the Pali term for saying stuff that doesn't really matter, and why the urge is often just "look at me" </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> Why Bart is still on this path after all these years: community </li> </ul> Bart closes with a beautiful dedication about coming home to the body and appreciating that we show up in community.
