Episode notes
Awakening Preceded Formal Practice
- Peter McEwen began having severe panic and experiences of self-collapse in his late teens, which led him to Buddhism.
- Those early awakenings happened before formal practice and later motivated his thirty years of study and integration.
Balance Personal Work And Spirituality
- Balance personal, interpersonal and spiritual work; none should be absolutized.
- Overemphasizing openness or relative functioning without the other harms both practice and communities.
Use Mixed Tools And Get Assessment
- Use a variety of tools (therapy, breathwork, trauma-informed methods) and get guidance on your character style.
- Tailor practices to your needs instead of imposing one formula on life.
