Join Loch Kelly the creator of the mindful glimpses app here as he welcomes spiritual teacher and author Mirabai Starr about how grief is a portal to the sacred. They explore the mystics' poetic teachings on embracing both the transcendent and immanent - the ultimate reality and our embodied human experience.
Wild Mercy by Mirabai Starr is about “living the fierce and tender wisdom of the women mystics.” Drawing on the feminine wisdom traditions and others, Loch and Mirabai Starr discuss how loss and the heart's longing can reveal our belonging to the "holy hush" where the fragrance of the sacred perfumes suffering with ultimate meaning. Loch also shares his own early awakening through the crisis of his father's death, emphasizing an integration of the absolute and relative, the personal and collective.
[TIMECODE] The episode features Loch offering a guided practice called Knowing From HeartMind. These mindful glimpses serve as invaluable tools for experiencing ways to access the awake consciousness.
