“Be with awareness. Let thought and emotion come and go. Don’t fight or follow. That’s how you find freedom.” What if true freedom isn’t about controlling your mind, but remembering the awareness that’s always been there? In today’s episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with beloved Tibetan meditation master and best-selling author Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche for a soul-stirring conversation on inner peace, joy, and transformation, even in the midst of life’s greatest storms. Born into a lineage of Tibetan masters, Mingyur Rinpoche has spent decades teaching the power of awareness and compassion. But it was during a near-death experience, alone, sick, and penniless on the streets of India, that he had a profound realization: beyond fear, beyond suffering, is a pure, unshakable presence we all carry inside. Together, we explore the real meaning of enlightenment, how to deal with fear, desire, and difficult emotions, and why your thoughts are not who you are. Rinpoche shares simple yet radical practices to help you access peace in everyday life, from letting go of the past to navigating addiction, conflict, and uncertainty. This episode is an invitation to return to your true nature. To live from the “inner sky” that remains untouched by life’s turbulence. And to remember that even in the darkest moments, you are never truly lost. Tune in and learn how to access lasting inner peace, transform emotional patterns, and reconnect with the unshakable awareness within you.
