BodhiSpeak with Jerry Walsh

Integrating Trasformative Experiences: Part 1: Philosophy and Mindset

"You don't rise to level of your expectations -- you fall to the level of your training" - Greek poet Archilochus

You bought the ticket and you took the ride. A transformative experience can be a meditation retreat, a vision quest, a psychedelic experience, a breakup, a near death experience, a job loss, -- anything that shakes and wakes you up and leaves you activated, challenged, inspired, uncomfortable, more curious, unsettled, frazzled, tuned in with deeper and insight and self-knowledge of capacities and shortcomings -- how do you take this experience and effectively apply its lessons on the chessboard of life?

What are the tools we need for growth and real change at this time -- how do we hone in our character to deal with this new perspective?

Step one is mindset and philosophy to guide us into right action

Good luck
